Here comes my Wrap-Up for the month December. Unfortunately, I read only three books but I had so much to do for university that I didn't have time to read more :(
The
first book I finished in December was Never
Fade by Alexandra Bracken.
This is the second book in the Darkest Minds Trilogy. This trilogy is about a 16-year-old
girl named Ruby, who lives in a world where a special virus has infected all
children. Because of this virus, the kids have now certain abilities. There are
some pretty harmless abilities, such as the power of moving objects and people
with their thoughts or having a great knowledge in science. However, there are
also some with dangerous abilities. Some can produce or destroy electricity
with their hands or even thoughts, some can control other human’s minds, that
means they can read their minds but sometimes they can also erase memories like
Ruby can. The most dangerous ones are the kids who can produce fire with their
hands. The kids have been put in special camps where they are being watched all the time and have to work very hard. In
the second book, Ruby has already escaped a camp and is now with a league who
wants to help the children. There she has a mission to
complete which also includes looking for her (ex-) boyfriend whom she still
loves. I didn’t like Never Fade as much as the first book but it still was a
gripping read so I gave it 3 out of 5 stars on goodreads.com
The second book I read in December was Where She Went by Gayle Forman. This is
the last book in the If I Stay duology. I’m sure most of you know If I Stay as
the movie came out recently. Where She Went is written from Adam’s point of
few. Three years after Mia has left him without a goodbye, he is nearly hitting
the bottom after the huge success of his band. But then he meets Mia again and
realizes he has to change…
At first I didn’t like the story so much because all
you read about was Adams hard life with which he could not cope. But when he
met Mia the book got better and in the
end I really enjoyed it, so this one also got 3 stars.
The last book I read in December was The Kill Order by James Dashner. This
book is the fourth and last book of the Maze Runner Series. Also this book was
made into a movie adaptation in 2014. The Kill Order is the prequel to the first
book so you get to know what exactly happened when the sun flares hit the
world. There are new characters and you follow them upon their dangerous and
saddening tries to escape the horrors of the sun flares and a spreading virus
which makes everyone who gets it go crazy. In the end you also know how WICKED,
an organization trying to find a cure for this virus, was formed and how Thomas
and Theresa (the main characters in the Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials and The
Death Cure) have gotten to WICKED. The book was quite good, but it didn’t draw me in all
the time, and though I liked it more than the second and third book. I gave it
3 out of 5 stars as well.
I hope you enjoyed reading this!
Bye,
Larissi ♥
