Book of a thousand days*****

By Sannon Hales
This is the 1st book I read from this author and definitely not the last! I am now a big Fan of Shannon! And can't wait to read more of her books! Shannon Hale has such a gift with words and description.
The main character in this book, Dashti, is one of the strongest, most likable voices I've ever read. She invites you right into her world, and I wanted to hear more and more of her story.
I LOVED the relationship between Dashti and Tegas. It was so genuine and sweet - so true to the nature of love.
I can't praise this story enough!! A must read!

Le 1er livre que je lis de cet auteur et certainement pas le dernier! Je suis maintenant une Fan de Shannon! J'ai hate de lire plus de ses livres.S hannon a une facon unique avec ses mots et ses descriptions.
Le personage principale de ce livre, Dashti, est une des plus forte, et plus agreable voix que j'ai pus lire. Elle nous invite dans sont monde, que je ne voulais pas quiter!
J'ai aime la relation entre Dashti et Tegas. C'etait si beau et simple, si proche de la nature d'un amour complet. A lire absolument!

East*****

By Edith Pattou

I read this book in 3 days! An Absolute favorite! It has everything I love: adventure, love, magic, great characters, and a pretty swiftly moving plot... I actually loved how we are told the story from 5 different people. You get a glimpse into the main characters thoughts. It has a 'Beauty and the Beast' feel to it, but with more adventure and twists. Truly I was enchanted! LOVED IT!

J'ai lu ce livre en 3 jours! Il a tout ce que j'aime: amour, adventure, magie, une histoire qui bouge, des personages avec caracter ... J'ai bein aimer qu'Edith racconte l'histoire vu a travers 5 caracters different. L'histoire a un air familier de 'la Belle et la bete' mais avec beaucoup plus d'aventure et de surprises. J'etais vraiement enchantee... J'ai adore!

The Blue Sword***

By Robin McKinley

This book was a slow stater but once into it I enjoyed it. I liked the people, the places, the magic, the adventure... There was a little too much description for my taste, but still manageable, I did do some skimming...
A great story that resembles the stories of Tolken.

Ce livre etait un peu lant a demarrer, mais une foi que j'etais bien dans l'histoire, j'ai bien aime. J'ai aime L'heroine, le gens, l'endroit, la magie, et l'aventure. Il y avait des passsages avec un peu trop de description pour mon goux.
Une bonne histoire qui ressemble beaucoup a Tolken.

Uglies Series****

I loved the Uglies Trilogy. However, I had a certain expectation of how the story was going to end and the last book didn't fulfill my hope; the ending left me slightly unfulfilled. The description of people who keep cutting themselves in the last book is also disturbing. I liked Uglies the best, followed by pretties, Specials was OK.
