I was so excited to finally read the last book in the "The Infernal Devices'"series and I was not disappointed!
Cassandra Clare has written a fantastic finale book. I often feel let down by the last book in a series; sometimes they are anticlimatic, lack a fast paced plot, or just don't end the way I hoped.
The quality we expect from her is the same as her other novels and the plot moves along at a perfect pace.It was really cool to see all the characters fully develop especially Tris. Lots of questions were answered, which I find very satisfying- it's so annoying when a series ends and you are left wondering what happened!
Will was my favourite character in this book, I think, because I admired his strength in keeping his feelings toward Tessa hidden and staying strong for Jem. I like that he is such a mixture of right and wrong, cruel and kind and open but secretive at the same time. Complex characters that you can relate to have always been a seller for me ( think Tris in Divergent by Veronica Roth).
For a YA novel, this book dealt with some pretty strong themes: a love triangle, death, betrayal and trust issues. It's one of my favourite things about most YA books.
Overall, a great read and I can't wait for the next Cassandra Clare novel!
Another busy week gone past! Hopefully next week slows down a little bit. :) I had a fantastic time last night at an Aoraki LIANZA event in Rangiora. It was awesome to network with other librarians- I forgot how refreshing it is to meet people that have a similar mindset to you and that you don't have to explain every aspect of being a librarian to!
I've also been finding lots of great articles and ideas on Twitter this week- here are my top ones :)
2: Re-reading my favourite books from high school. I've been feeling nostalgic lately and decided to re-read this fantasy series by David Eddings. I'm not a fan of fantasy anymore but I'm still devouring these books!
Another week has flown by, here are the two main things that have been inspiring and motivating me this week.
1. Hootsuite: I've realised that I need something to keep me on top of all the social media things I handle like Facebook and Twitter. After a little bit of research I decided to sign up for Hootsuite and so far I'm loving it and it's scheduling function has made my life much easier :)
2. Scoop.it: This is another tool that I've utilised to help me sort through all the news and find articles I'm really excited about sharing via Twitter
Have a great weekend!
