The Badlings by Ksenia Anske
4.0
4/5 stars
Look closely at your bookshelf. Are you sure every book is where you left it? Doesn't one seem to stick out from the rest? I thought so. It wants to be noticed. The more you read it, the thicker it will get, bursting with pride. And the books you haven't touched in years will get thinner and thinner until they perish
Honestly, the only reason this lost a star is because I had too high expectations and it couldn't compare to the miracle named Rosehead.
Lessons taught by The Badlings
♦ Never, EVER leave a book unfinished
♦ Never, ever damage a book (unless you want to have a fate worse than the one you'll receive if you leave it unfinished)
♦ Ducks are life savers (I don't know what the Herondales are talking about)
♦ Doughnuts are also life savers (believe me)
♦ Never joke about fictional characters
♦ Never joke about the power of books
♦ Never underestimate a girl (we saw what happened to Peacock for being a sexist!)
♦ Books can be villains at stories
♦ Never wish you were a fictional character
♦ Do not, at any circumstances, underestimate the power of sugar
♦ Read this book, or at least one of Ksenia Anske's ones of your choice
Overall this book was cute, funny, dark (Obviously at some points) and the power of friendship was strong in it. Bonus points because it's a book about a book. Tim Burton has to make a movie for this one as well (I swear, I am waiting!)
