Hello,
Hello, Hello,
I
feel like I haven't posted in like forever but that alas cannot be
true. Well, maybe it is. Dreadfully sorry. With school starting up, I
was all messed up and posted less. I feel awful, but I can't redo it.
Sadly, Josh and Carter haven't perfected their time machine. Sigh.
The last time we tried it we sent Josh's cat back in time and sadly
Mr. Fluffy is stuck somewhere in possibly the 17th
century. So sad, we miss you Mr Fluffy. Anywho, I read a wonderful
book that I think everyone will love. Seriously. It's by a Christian
author, but it's really cool because he doesn't just throw the
religion stuff out there. It's subtle since the Elves worship God and
stuff. Anyway cool book. Somebody suggested it to me a while ago and
I finally read it. Here's the review
Book:
Curse
of the Spider King
Authors:
Wayne
Thomas Batson, Christopher Hopper
To
sum it all up: The
seven elf lords ruled Allyra for hundreds of thousands of years. Then
the Spider King's forces attacked the city. At the time all seven
lords had small children and were celebrating their births. The
Drefids (creepy assassins for the Spider King) kidnapped the babies
and took them to their land. The city of the elves was demolished and
the vast civilization of elves was reduced to quite a few. Those few
escaped through the tunnels behind the thrones. The Drefids who
captured the baby rulers had a problem. Those who killed those
children before they had gained their powers would be cursed to
eternal misery and stuff like that, but if you disobeyed the Spider
King you would be cursed or killed or both. The Drefids were stuck
between the Curse of the Spider King and the Elf Lord's Curses. They
came up with a solution, send the young elf lords to Earth, where
they can grow up thinking they're human and not be a threat to the
Spider King.

Will
the Spider Kings forces get to the kids before the elves can? Will
they be able to make it back to Allyra alive or even at all?
What I thought: I absolutely adored it. I love fantasy and a little violence. (There wasn't much don't worry in case you were) It tells the story switching from kid to kid, but it's not switching who tells the story, since it's in 3rd person, so that's nice because sometimes that's kinda confusing to me, I don't know about you. Anyway, I wanted to know the powers everyone got. I really wanted to know why Jett had purple eyes and Kat had blue skin, I found that out. I wanted to know who the creepy guys were that were following everybody. And I guess I wanted to know how they were going to come together.
Genre: fantasy
Setting: It's in a couple different places. Like all seven lords live different places (minus Autumn and Johnny) and the portal is in Scotland. There's also Allyra for bits and pieces of it.
# of Pages: 384
Who's it for: Anybody, well. I kinda think 4th grade or older. I mean if someone too young reads it, it'll scare them.
Warnings: Zero. Zip. Nada.
Other books with it: Book Two: Venom and Song, Haha, I found a title of a book three: The Tide of Unmaking, yay that makes me happy that I found that. Is it out yet though? That's my question.
My Star Rating: 4.7
Oh please read it my dear friends, it's wonderful. I promise you'll love it. That's all I have today.
You're all great!
Love and pointy ears,
~AJ
Book for next time, probably: The Hobbit
James 1:3- "The light shines into the darkness but the darkness has not understood."
Hmm...I've got to admit, I'm dubious. Not because of your love of it, but because of another reader I know well. She often reads books and passes them on to me, and I to her. She said that there were too many plot twists and too much characters to keep your head on straight...but we shall see. Another friend, Gemma, read it and loved it.
ReplyDeleteOh, cool. I think you should read it, it's real good. No comment about The Unwanteds this time? Haha teasing, kinda. :)
