There are, unsurprisingly, quite a few character deaths. But it was fast paced and there was plenty of action. It was satisfying, but not altogether surprising or shocking, in the sense that it played out as you’d probably expect. Overall, I think this was a good ending to the series. The fifth book was a bit of a miss for me, but I’d come so far, and only had the last book left, so felt I needed to finish the series and see how it all ended.

The plot was stretched out too much, and I think I would have enjoyed it more if there had been less books. Spanning six books, this series just felt too long for me. Light is the final book in the Gone series and, although I enjoyed it in some ways, I’m also glad I’ve now finished it. What books have you enjoyed this month? Chat with me in the comments! And then I just have to read through it again, since I edited a lot of the chapters out of order, I will need to read it through and make sure I’m happy with the order of everything and check for consistency errors. I think I will definitely finish it in May. I successfully hit my 20,000 word goal for Camp NaNoWriMo, which I am really chuffed with! I am so nearly finished my second draft, so that’s quite exciting. I did place a couple of pre-orders for special editions which won’t arrive until August/September, but other than that, I didn’t buy any books. Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy by Cassandra Clare ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – I don’t generally enjoy short stories that much, but I like how these ones were connected and had a thread running through them, following Simon’s journey as he progressed through his training.įor once, I actually managed to keep up a book buying ban? I didn’t buy any new books this month.

I have quite mixed feelings about this series, but I am glad I’ve finished it. It’s taken me eight years to read all six books. I have finally managed to make it to the end. Light by Michael Grant ⭐⭐⭐.5 – The final book in the Gone series. This YA space opera is so much fun, and I can’t wait for the sequel to come out! It’s a Sleeping Beauty retelling from the perspective of the villain and I absolutely loved the world building and Alyce’s character journey.Ĭrownchasers by Rebecca Coffindaffer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – I’ve read so much fantasy this year, that I really enjoyed reading a scifi book for a change. Malice by Heather Walter ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – I was really excited to get an eARC for this book. So things might still be a bit quiet around here for a little while but I’ll still be posting and reading all your awesome posts when I can. I’ve been busy at work and we’re going to be trying to sell our house soon so we’ve been doing lots of cleaning and tidying, and it’s all just left me feeling a bit exhausted. I’ve not been blogging as much this month because life decided to get in the way of everything.
