Simon Snow and his crew are back from America with another person with them, Shepherd. Simon and Baz must face a new mage who claims to be the chosen one, while Shepherd and Penny try to get rid of Shepherd’s curse. This book is the end to this trilogy and summarizes all the loose ties very well.

Max and the Midknights: Battle of the Bodkins is the second book in the series, this time with evil doppelgangers, even more magic, and tons of humor. This book is definitely one of my favorite books, because this book checks off all the good qualities a good book should have- action, humor, friendships, romance, and mystery! Another reason that I love this book so much is that it also incorporates little illustrations throughout the book, and even changes to a comic sometimes!

Max and the Midknights is my favorite book of all time! It is a place where the Middle Ages, and knights meet comedy, action, and grim situations! Another reason why I love this book is because it will constantly have you grinning and giggling as you turn each page! I would definitely recommend this wacky tale to people who enjoy any genre!

Crown of Midnight is the second installment of the Throne of Glass series. The second book picks up right where the first left off, and it gets even better. This novel follows Celaena as she navigates being the King’s Assassin and having to make hard decisions. Her relationships with Dorian and Chaol especially become a little rocky as she has to do things she isn’t proud of. A particularly difficult event leaves friendships strained, but Celaena has to push through to fight for what she believes in.
