4 POOKY BEAR STARS!

Mountain View

It was quite a good read.But I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first book.The beginning was boring and there were some moments that I wanted to put the book down and start another one.The story moved so slowly and it just didn't work out for me.But the other half of the book was quite interesting,not as good as the first book but there were some moments that I quite enjoyed.Also there was a funny moment that I couldn't stop laughing for an hour.That was my favorite part of the book.Seriously it was one of the funniest book moments that I had.Beside that there are not a lot of breathtaking moments and the ending is not that unexpected.It was good but not how I wanted it to be.



However it was a great book , a powerful story and it blends correctly with the first book.I can't wait for the third book!



Okay..Let's talk about the story:(There may be spoilers so if you haven't read the book try to avoid this paragraph)

This book continues the story of the first one. Penryn now apart from Raffe continues her adventure to protect her family.Her family is not quite normal.Her sister can walk again and there is something off with her that no one knows what.Also she discovers about things that angels are creating and their plans to demolish the earth.



Main characters

Penryn

Mountain View

What I liked about Penryn in this book is her courage to do things on her own.Also her modesty because she never accepted that she is some kind of a hero.Also the motivation she carries with herself is remarkable because even when her world is all falling apart she is determined to protect the people she loves.



Raffe

Mountain View

Well as I mention in the review of the first book I really like Raffe's sence of humor.There are some sentences that you can't continue without bursting into laughter.



Paige

Paige is one of my favorite characters in this book.Her new transformation makes her like a killing machine and I really like killing machines.



Me while reading the book ( favorite sentences ) :

“I look up to say something but he puts his finger to my lips and whispers, “Don’t talk. You’ll just spoil my fantasy of rescuing an innocent damsel in distress as soon as you open your mouth.”

Mountain View

“He glares at me as if he already hates it. “What is it?” I consider lying but what’s the point? I clear my throat. “Pooky Bear"
He’s silent for so long I’m beginning to think he didn’t hear me when he finally says, “Pooky. Bear.” “It was just a little joke. I didn’t know.”
“I’ve mentioned that names have power, right? Do you realize that when she fights battles, she’s going to have to announce herself to the opposing sword? She’ll be forced to say something ridiculous like, ‘I am Pooky Bear, from an ancient line of archangel swords.’ Or, ‘Bow down to me, Pooky Bear, who has only two other equals in all the worlds.’ ” He shakes his head. “How is she going to get any respect?”

Mountain View

“I'm gonna be sick," I said
"I'm ordering you not to," says Obi.
"Ah, don't say that," says Dee-Dum. "She's a born rebel. She'll puke just to make a point.”

Mountain View

“It's about time you showed some sense. You should be afraid."
"I'm shivering because I'm freezing."
"You're cute when you're afraid"
I give him a dirty look. "Yeah, you're cute when you're afraid too."
"You mean I'm devastatingly handsome when I'm not afraid. Because you've never seen me afraid”

Mountain View

“You're naming your collector's-item, kick-ass sword that's made to maim and kill, specifically designed to bring your ginormous enemies to their knees and hear the lamentation of their women-Pooky Bear?"
"Yeah, you like it?”

Mountain View


“You broke me out of the grasp of a living horror when I thought all hope was gone. You gave me the opportunity to crawl back to life when no one else could."
She glances over at me, her eyes shining in the dark. "You're a hero, Penryn, whether you like it or not.”

Mountain View

I highly recommend this book if you are into angel/paranormal kind of books.It's a great read believe me!



Also I can't wait to see this and the first book on screen.

✦❋Arianna✦❋ Great review, Etnik!


Molly Mortensen I just read this one too! My favorite parts are the interactions between Penryn and Raffe. I think that's why this one wasn't as good. I cracked up at that one place too!
