The End....

      Hey Guys! I've decided to take a break from Crime and Punishment. It's good, but it's very detail oriented. Plus I've been rush reading it for school, not because I want to but because I have to. I usually have one day to read over 100 detail oriented pages with annotations. (Well I have to annotate.... makes me wish I had a copy that was already annotated copy.) I wish I could read this with out having to rush through it. I've heard nothing but good things about it. Whatever, I'll just have to reread it later. For  now, let's get on with the end of the world reviews.... (There will be spoilers, I'm going to try to keep them to a bare minimum but it's almost impossible given the fact that these are the last in their series')

                                  City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
              In the final book of the Mortal Instruments series, join Clary, Jace, and all their friends (and family...) in the fight against their greatest adversary... Sebastian Morgenstern. Things start get more dangerous as shadowhunters withdraw from their institutes and go to Idris. A shocking twist causes Clary and her friends to go on the run. Will they be able to fight Sebastian and his army of Endarkened? Or will they all parish trying?

        I rated this a 5/5 stars. The only problem I had was the ending. I loved the characters to much for the series to end, even though I knew deep down in side it had to at some point. As someone really smart/important said one day "All good things come to an end." I also think what happened to one of the characters (Some of you might know who I'm talking about but I'm trying not to ruin the book.) was unfair. He was sooooooo sweet and was just trying to save his friends. He didn't deserve to have his memory wiped!

                                         Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan
              Follow the Seven, Nico, Reyna, and Coach Hedge on what could be their final adventure. Even thought the Seven have made progress on their way to stopping Gaea and Feast of Spes, they seem to feel like they are getting nowhere close to stopping her. Nico, Reyna, and Coach Hedge are having the same feelings as they race to get back to Camp Half-Blood in a desperate attempt to stop a growing war between the Greeks and the Romans. Will both groups be able to stop the impending doom they face or will they fail at their quests? 

     I rated this a 5/5 stars. Alright I will admit that I didn't enjoy this one as much as the last couple books in the series. It may have been just the fact that most of the book was the characters going over what they expect their impending death to be like. I didn't think there was enough Annabeth, I shouldn't be complaining because of how much she was in the previous book but I just didn't see enough of my favorite character.  Though the development of other characters was (I guess...) enough to make up for the fact she wasn't as prevalent.

      I'm going to admit that it was easier to review Blood of Olympus then it was to review City of Heavenly Fire. It may have been the fact that it was more generalized where the plot area was concerned. But I don't know which series I was more upset about ending. I think because I knew both authors were starting another series, I was somewhat ok with them ending. Rick Riordan and Cassandra Clare are some of my favorite authors. And it is going to be a sad day when they no longer write books. Ok, I have to tell my self to convince my self to stop procrastinating and go read Crime and Punishment now. Well, Talk To You All Later! -Kaitlynn
