If you wake up in the morning, it is a good day.
I honestly don't know what to write. As someone who knows history - although modern is not exactly my favorite - and has been to Auschwitz it is quite difficult. I mean it's based on a true story, so it just makes it harder, but I'll try my best.
Lale was a very likable and lovable character who - both in the book and in real life - saved a lot of people from death because he was a tattooist in hell itself. Gita has also grown close to my heart, she really suffered a lot and she deserved peace terribly.
The plot itself was easy to handle, albeit shocking and stomach-churning in several places - still reality. The pace was a bit slow, but that was what it took to understand more of it. In sum, it conveyed well the situation and what they had to survive.

Winter Harvest by Ioanna Papadopoulou
Huh, I said at the beginning — even before reading it — that this book was going to enchant me, and on some level it did. Greek mythology is not new to me, but I always enjoy reading books about it, and I have to say that I enjoyed it immensely this time as well.
Demeter was never particularly my favourite goddess, I loved her as much as I could, but she never really stood out from the others. But now this book has shown how important she was (and still is) to the world, mistress of life and death, light and darkness at the same time. In short, I fell in love with her very much. The other gods didn't particularly impress me—at least not in this book, but there wasn't that much talk about them either. Artemis, Nemesis, Hecate, and Hestia are still my favourite goddesses.
The plot was easy to follow and well structured, the events followed each other nicely, there were no empty parts. I liked the wording, although in some places I felt it was too often to repeat the same thing in different words. The pace was a little slower than I would have liked, but other than that, I can't relate to anything else, because the author faithfully gave back what I needed.
Honestly, it's so hard to write a review of a book when I knew in advance what was going to happen, so there wasn't any unexpected twists and turns involved, but even when I think back on it, I don't feel any negative feelings. I loved it and would like to read it again in the future.
I definitely recommend it to all Greek mythology and Percy Jackson fans who want something a little darker.

I never promised to be his soldier—his ally, as he would have preferred to call me. But I had somehow become that.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Well, this book was a feeling. But really. I mean, I started because two books failed earlier this year, so I thought why not start. I'd heard about it, but I hadn't seen the movie or read the book (until now), I just knew there was something about Mr. Darcy that everyone was passionate about.
Elizabeth was an extremely lovable and intelligent character - exceptionally not the kind to throw everything away for a man, and I loved that about her and, of course, her stubbornness. Mr. Darcy was a very complex character, but for me he was probably one of the most understandable, pure introverts who knew when to speak and when to be quiet.
The plot was easy to follow, although I got confused about the characters in the middle (but that's my fault). In addition, the pace was extremely slow, which is not exactly the best choice for a book of this size. Basically, Jane wrote beautifully about nothing and the same time everything, but really. It's unlikely I'll read many classics in the future, but it wasn't as bad as I expected.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Thank you for the e-copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
First, what you can expect from this book:
· age gap romance

· rebellious & wise MMC
· mixing of religions
· supernatural beings
· animal companion
· shocking end
· fast-paced
Huh, I don't even know where to start my review, I just have so much going on in my head. Part of me has incredibly needed this, but really. It was great to be reunited and go in action with the characters in this vast and cruel world again.
Teska still holds her favorite place in my heart at record high, I just love her so much. I mean, the other characters are important to me, but she's especially.
My emotions are very mixed now; I feel sadness and joy, anger and worry at the same time, in short, so many things and I don't know which one is real.
ATTENTION SPOILER (if you haven't read the book, scroll down at your own risk)
Alright, my jaw is still on the ground because of him. I mean, I never thought I'd like a male character so much (as I mentioned, I usually read books with female protagonists).
He remained extremely sympathetic to me; He makes excellent decisions, plans strategy well and does not deceive people with false hopes. On top of all this, his sudden anger is also revealed, but he is still so confident, perfect leader for a rebellion.
Over the course of the book, I felt that he was developing significantly and was probably ready to take Merrick's place if he hadn't already. I feel like this time he can really feel the weight of it and all the consequences.
(And I still owe Teska my soul for finally cutting that beard off him and his hair, haha)
Ohhh my only Ghost. She deserves so much, so much more in this world. She deserves so much, so much better than what happened to her.
I loved that she finally opened up and welcomed with open arms what she was born to be, that she didn't run from it anymore. The way she handled her destiny shows how strengthened she was and how she finally found herself.
I was glad that she didn't softened just because she made a relationship with Malachi (as most characters do), she didn't remain the same wild and ruthless but brilliant wildfire.
I incredibly hope that she will be able to get rid of what has now practically wiped her out (or at least taken over her - but well, at least we have an answer to why her was so important to the Fathers)
I just want to sob — and never get up from the ground — after losing Cabbot. I mean, his death was something else entirely. Likewise, I couldn't believe how such a loyal and brave man could break so hard under the weight. It's not his fault — not really — his fate was just written that way, cruelly, painfully, and too quickly, but necessarily to move the plot forward. However, I am grateful to him because he struggled, ate with all his remaining strength, and this means more than anything, he did it for himself and his friends, he gave them time, hope for a better world. I will miss him terribly.
Dario, ahh, did so much to get his sister's kids back, it's incredible. At such an age, he travelled and fought to reach them, and even in the end he had to lose. Its absence is terrible, painful, but again, it is too important to ignore. He deserved so much, so much better.
Tua, woah, I never thought I'd love him so much (because I usually cling to the original characters crampedly), but he was a pleasant surprise, I incredibly liked his free spirit and his ability to sacrifice everything to help Throne. It was undeniably modelled after the Aboriginal (as his name and horse suggest) and I can't wait to learn more about him.
Cassandra & Cassidy, my little babies. My poor were so lost, they brainwashed and tore apart their bright souls. It hurt so much to know that they didn't recognize Dario or the others that they were so terrified that they thought they had fallen into the hands of something far greater than themselves. I am delighted that they got home safely and escaped. I hope they start a new life where there is peace and happiness because they deserve it, more than anything and everyone.
Amelia, at first she was so promising, she really was, a confident and intimidating woman. It's almost ironic that her life ended so briefly, and she never really got to experience what a real family is like.
Solomon & Tycho, I could feel them — both — tired. More than anyone else, and this time they couldn't be blamed for it because they had every right to do so. That happy and cheerful self, the protector, and the clown, disappeared from them, becoming simple puppets to survive. They've been through too much for too long, no wonder they're broken, like everyone else. I hope in the next book they will find their old selves back and truly experience the happiness and peace that life has given them.
So I sob, how can this be done to them? My poor little babies have just found each other and improvised losing each other, what is this if not tragic?
Each of them had some adorable moments, and the fact that they didn't leave each other behind, no matter what happened (okay, they can't really help the end) just says more than words. I really, terribly, hope that they find each other back and that everything will be fine with them because they really deserve peace already.
(IF HE HAD JUST LISTENED TO TESKA WHEN SHE TOLD THEM TO GO, HOW MUCH DIFFERENT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN — learning to never listen to a man's intuition, haha)
Totally random comment:
Yes, Elain was a very painful memory, I guessed right, but they both handled the situation well, and I feel like they both respect each other's lost partner.
The plot was generally understandable, although in some details I sometimes had to take a deep breath and reread a sentence for interpretation. Nevertheless, overall, I am happy with the book and the story.
The dynamic of this book seemed more dynamic to me, quickly cutting into the middle of the plot, which I really liked. Maintaining the pace was excellent, although the parts about the camp were a bit slower, but still felt adequate. The time jump, especially at the beginning of the book (about a month), wasn't confusing, but rather exciting for me.
The wording of the book is again an excellent, worthy continuation of the previous one. The writer's style is extremely fluid, which makes it easy to read and contributes to an enjoyable experience. In addition to the simplicity of the language, sometimes delightful quotes and profound wisdom emerge, which further enriches the story. The author masterfully handles words, so the reader can easily immerse himself in the world of characters and events. Really impressive.
This book gave or returned to us with new creatures that I really liked. I honestly really loved this post's apocalyptic setting, and the way they always refer to the past adds a lot to the experience.
This book was a fascinating read for me. I must say that I couldn't wait to read every single page, and I'm excited to continue. The character development and plot twists have been wonderful and I can't wait to continue my journey with them.
All I can say is this (again);
I definitely recommend reading it, because it guides you to a world where magic and monsters come to life, friendships are made and run away, secrets come to the destructive surface and dreams turn to dust. First of all, fantasy fans may like this book, but I strongly recommend it to anyone, because it is not worth missing.

The Risk by S.T. Abby
This is the kind of book that I can't really comment on, not because I don't remember it, but because it was so short that you can't write about it, but I'll try.
Lana was an extremely complex and complicated character, perhaps too much, but that made her so excellent. Her thirst for revenge, perseverance, and brutality were all things that added even more to this story. Logan wasn't stupid, he really wasn't, but he let himselfand will let himself be led by the nose like everyone else, but that doesn't make him bad. He, too, has had difficulties in life, and he still tries to pursue the good and not the bad.
Their relationship was kind of insta-love, to be honest, out of the air, but it still worked — which is a big word. I'd say they're perfect for each other (as far as a serial killer and a detective can be).
Well, it wasn't much of a plot, but I didn't expect anything else from a 130-page book, but it brought that dark atmosphere. The pace was good, but maybe a little fast.

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner
Honestly, even though this book used to be a DNF for me, I liked it immensely now. It was so lifelike, and I would even say modern, in a word, brilliantly written.
The characters were lovable, each in their own way (well, except for James, he was more of a toxicer) little Eliza was a staple of my heart, but Nella was still my favourite. The tremendous helpfulness, acceptance, and struggle that burned within her was extremely inspiring.
Although the plot ran on two time threads, it was not confusing, the events followed each other nicely, it was understandable and simple. Basically, it took place over a few days (both modern and past) so I think the time was right. I really liked the wording, it was a bit like reading a diary, and even the first-person POV didn't bother me. The end was closed nicely, albeit slightly open.
Overall, I really liked it and recommend it to anyone who loves history and poisons, but doesn't want anything big.

Okay, now how do i put into words a whole life feeling? I mean, really. I liked this book incredibly, oh my goodness, every minute of it.
I loved the characters, but especially Clytemnestra's passionate and well-developed soul, she is my favorite for sure. Helen, though likable, had actions i couldn't agree with, and what surprised me the most was that Menelaus was quite lovable on my part.
The plot was okay, it covered quite well what was supposed to happen but with minor changes. The time jumps were not distracting and the pace was adequate. The ending got a nice closure, I have no reason to complain about it. Overall, it brought the level I expected.
I recommend it to those who love warrior women who raise their voices and attack back. For those who love Greek mythology and are able to read anything to get closer to these legends.

Men wants us so badly for our bodies, yet hate us so much for our minds.
I know how bad a negative review can be, so i try to be gentle because it definitely wasn't my book.
I liked Zetian's character, or at least understood her. She is a true free spirit, full of energy and revenge with which she can burn the universe. And there is my Shimin who is in my whole heart, he deserves so much, so much better. I love their relationship so much, i'm so sorry we got so little of them.
The plot was confusing for me and couldn't hold my attention seriously, the pace was a bit fast, but i liked the references to mythology.

Mértékkel élj, hogy mérhetetlenek legyenek boldog napjaid!
Ez a könyv a mindenem. Őszintén, minden, amire vágyok egy könyvben; egy jó kis nyomozás, nagyszerű (gyakran árnyalt) karakterek, csodálatos fogalmazás és történet, korszerű leírások egy kis romantikával meghintve.
Mili ellopta a szívem már rögtön az első pillanattól kezdve. Egészen fiatal korára való tekintettel rettentően talpra esett, olykor makacs, de intelligens és értelmes lány volt, aki nem félt a végsőkig elmenni, hogy vissza szerezze a nővérét.
Richárd, valahogy engem nem sikerült elsőre elvarázsolnia, aminek így vissza gondolva talán én vagyok az oka. Távolságtartó és a sötétségben járó árny volt, de végtelenül udvarias és a maga módján szerethető báró. Arra, hogy hogy veszítette el a karját az 6. részben kapunk csak választ és őszintén szóval megértem miért ilyen amilyen.
Agáta mama és Terka néni vitték a hátukon az egész sorozatot, hogy őszinte legyek. Az előbbi az arisztokratikus személyiségével a másik pedig a kedveségével segítette a karaktereket. Nagyon-nagyon megszerettem őket. Emma borzasztóan sokmindent élt túl - és fog még túlélni - bátran ki merem jelenteni, hogy ő a legerősebb karakter az egész sorozatban. Annyival, de annyival jobbat érdemelt volna annál, amit kapott.
A cselekmény - így újra olvasás után - kicsit lassabb volt mint amire emlékeztem, de ugyan olyan élvezetes, tele fordulatokkal és titkokkal. Egyszerűen a Leányrablás Budapesten sorozat világa örökké a szívembe marad bármi is történjen.
