book 8 of schwab-athon DONE!
um...okay Queen Schwab. I was not expecting this.
OH MY HEAVENS did I love this book. I was 100% not expecting to like this very much but what can I say? I am a sucker for Schwab's novels. (haha see what I did there angie?)
this was the second book in apparently the second series of the Spirit Animals. Might I add, I have never read a single spirit animal book before this one, so as it can be imagined, I was SUPER confused in the beginning. I was like Angelina when she picked up [b:The Wicked King|26032887|The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air, #2)|Holly Black|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1520620414l/26032887._SY75_.jpg|45959180] instead of [b:The Cruel Prince|26032825|The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1)|Holly Black|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1574535986l/26032825._SY75_.jpg|45959123] haha. I was supposed to already know all the characters and their different spirit animals and the villains and basically the whole plot, which I did end up figuring out with some help from google.
The villains (i am pretty sure are both Zerif and The Wyrm) were SO INCREDIBLY EPICC. they were so creepy and it gave me chills when the parasite (The Wyrm) was infecting everyone.
I felt very connected with the four main characters instantly. That, my friends, means that we should all give three cheers for Queen Schwab. I loved each of them, but my fav was Rollan. I felt like I related to him. However, I am still trying to decide whose spirit animal was the coolest. The Falcon, Wolf, Leopard, or the Panda. Probably Leopard.
This wasn't much of a plot-driven story because it was the second out of like seven books but it was still so intriguing, but it isn't very long haha. There were many moments when I was begging for more and I was actually very disappointed when it ended, I just wanted more!
but that's the thing. I feel like I want to read this whole series but...there is a small problem. there are no more that is written by our dear Queen Schwab. I don't know if I can handle it being written by so many different authors when I have read it by the best one. But I mean...I will never know if I don't try...so maybe in the future, you shall see me pulling these books out of my pocket and binge-reading them all haha.
anyways, I honestly do hope that I read more of these later because I truly did love this book and would love to finish this story because it kind of did end on a cliffhanger...heh.
anyways! I hope everyone has a wonderful evening! : )
