They&...You have to read these, it's mandatory! They're excellent, really. Her writing is absolutely gorgeous, I think you just have to experience it yourself to know. I'm SO glad I've convinced you to read them--you won't regret it. Ronan is full of magic and he's a masterfully crafted character. Honestly, the books are some of the most magical I have ever read, and I have read a LOT of fantasy books. You're right, Adam IS like Nico! Only a lot more prideful. But you'll see what I mean! <br /><br />I am LOVING The Young Elites! I knew I would, having previously enjoyed Marie Lu's Legend series, but I didn't think I would like it as much as I am. It is sure to be a positive review, and I'm excited to see what you thought of it! I'm really enjoying the darker undertones of the novel so far! Thanks so much for commenting! :D Erin Tweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988909013004568553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914989030918609235.post-29299680204279422742015-06-21T23:54:50.353-04:002015-06-21T23:54:50.353-04:00I haven't started this series yet (I know... s...I haven't started this series yet (I know... shame, shame, haha) but it sounds like you've really enjoyed it! I'm glad to hear you're liking these books, I'll have to start them as soon as possible. I've heard many reviewers rave about Steifvator's writing, but I exactly sure I wanted to read the books, just because I wasn't completely intrigued by the concept. You've convinced me, though! I don't own the books but I'm hoping to borrow them from the library or maybe even order them soon. Just from your review, Ronan seems like an interesting character. I always love to see magic in books and he seems to be full of it. Adam kind of sounds like Nico di Angelo from the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series, although Nico was generally likable and accepts help in the latter books of the Heroes of Olympus series. <br /><br />On a different note, I noticed you're reading The Young Elites! I read the book about a month ago but I haven't reviewed it yet. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on that one. I'd love to discuss the book with you once you finish!:) Lovely review Erin!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103704290284308846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914989030918609235.post-19828192235345012662015-06-20T18:45:29.232-04:002015-06-20T18:45:29.232-04:00Thanks! Maggie Stiefvater's writing is breatht...Thanks! Maggie Stiefvater's writing is breathtaking. I don't know how one human does it! She must NOT be human, there is no other explanation. Maybe she's a physic. Or a sorcerer! OR (and correct me if I'm delusional) maybe she's Glendower herself!!!! My Adam Love is a tiny little thing by now, but I STILL HOPE. And KAVINSKY, I KNOW! Great character, horrible person. I ADORE Ronan, much more than I thought I would. Such complexity...much character. I must go cry over how awesome this series is now...Erin Tweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988909013004568553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914989030918609235.post-46910863386607582632015-06-20T03:09:02.046-04:002015-06-20T03:09:02.046-04:00I totally loved your thoughts on this! ME TOO. I f...I totally loved your thoughts on this! ME TOO. I feel like Maggie Stiefvater's writing is like...omg, it's like a beautiful skill in itself. It's so INCREDIBLE, the way she uses words. *hyperventilates quietly in the background* I adore all the characters, and yup, I have to admit my love for Adam is dwindling. >_> And Kavinsky is awful but I feel bad for him BUT HE'S AWFUL. And Ronan, omg, I love Ronan, even though <i>he's</i> horrible. But he's horrible with a heart of gold. :') So basically YES AND YES TO EVERYTHING IN THIS REVIEW.<br />Thanks for stopping by <a href="http://www.paperfury.com" rel="nofollow">@ Paper Fury!</a> CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.com
