Sentinel (Covenant #5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

It's a beautiful day for a war.

As the mortal world slowly slips into chaos of the godly kind, Alexandria Andros must overcome a stunning defeat that has left her shaken and in doubt of their ability to end this war once and for all.

And with all the obstacles between Alex and her happily-ever-after with the swoonworthy Aiden St. Delphi, they must now trust a deadly foe as they travel deep into the Underworld to release one of the most dangerous gods of all time.

In the stunning, action-packed climax to the bestselling Covenant series, Alex must face a terrible choice: the destruction of everything and everyone she holds dear… or the end of herself.






My Thoughts: *Might contain spoilers from previous books in this series*


Sentinel was epically fantastic! What a perfect, beautiful, amazing ending to a fantastic series! I honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect conclusion to this series. It was so beautiful and I cried so hard at the end. 

This book completely blew me away. I love how much Alex has grown through each book and how much it showed in this final one. She has gone through so much and matured so much yet she still remains positive and down-to-earth and I find her to be a greatly admirable character. I love her so much and I loved seeing her mature and overcome everything. 

In the previous books I was not a huge fan of Seth, like at all. I really didn't like him and I didn't like the decisions he made, and I wondered how he could do the things he did, but in this final book I feel like he did get some redemption. We really delve into what happened from Seth's side and how everything affected him and oh god, it broke my heart! I can't wait for The Return to come out and continue reading Seth's story! 

So much happened in this book! There were so many thing resolved, so many plot twists! It was really fast paced and something was always happening, it was never boring and I just couldn't stop reading! I had to wait until I was home to read this book because I was getting so many emotions from reading it!

Sentinel ended perfectly, in my opinion. I feel like Alex and Aiden both got the perfect ending that they deserved and I  am so happy with it! I finished this book at around 1 in the morning and literally cried for the last 60 pages, not out of sadness really, but just because I was overwhelmed with feels! This book was so amazing and it was everything that I could have asked for in a conclusion to this series. I'm so sad that this series is over, but I will definitely be re-reading it probably more than 5 times and I know that this series and its characters will live on with me for a long time. 

Rating: 5+ Stars!





Apollyon (Covenant #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Fate isn’t something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.

Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.

The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.

Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.

Holy crap. This series honestly just keeps getting better and better with every book I read! This book was so amazing, I could not stop reading it! My love for this series has grown so much and it's now one of my all time favorites.

Somehow, Alex got even more awesome in this book. I seriously love Alex, she's one of my favorite characters. She's so kick-ass, strong and just awesome! She's so snarky and hilarious. I love reading her story. In this book we also get a lot more Aiden and Alex scenes, which I loved. Alex and Aiden are one of my favorite book couples, I love them together.

This book had a lot of kick-ass moments. We got to see Alex fighting for her life and for the life of all Pures and Half-Bloods. She's got the gods and pures both trying to kill her and her friends. It was amazing to see how much growth Alex has gone through and how much she's changed as a character. She's really grown and matured, but she's still snarky and kickass at the same time. 

I can't say much without spoilers, but overall this book was f'n awesome! I loved every single second of it and have loved every single second of this series! I recommend this to anyone who loves YA books with an awesome plot, kick ass character and hilarious dialogue! 

Rating: 5/5 Stars!



Graceling (Graceling Realm #1) by Kristin Cashore

Katsa has been able to kill a man with her bare hands since she was eight - she's a Graceling, one of the rare people in her land born with an extreme skill. As niece of the king, she should be able to live a life of privilege, but Graced as she is with killing, she is forced to work as the king's thug.

When she first meets Prince Po, Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change.

She never expects to become Po's friend.

She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace - or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away..







My Thoughts:


This book took me by complete surprise. I didn't expect to love it even half as much as I did. I'm not a huge lover of fantasy because honestly, I've only ever read a few fantasy books, so I was a little skeptical about this book but I loved it. I enjoyed far more than I was expecting to!

I really enjoyed Katsa as a character. At first when she comes in she's kind of cold and doesn't have very many feelings because she's her uncles hitman, basically. Then she meets Po. Gosh, I love Po! He's warm, hilarious and just so adorable. I loved him so much! Him and Katsa were great together, they make an awesome team. I also enjoyed a lot of the side characters. I liked how strong and defiant Bitterblue was even though she was 10 and I loved Raffin!

I was just immediately sucked into this world and loved it so much. I read this book in one day and stayed up late to finish it. There were lots of plot twists and so many things happened, this book really was never a dull moment!

Overall, I loved Graceling so much! It really makes me want to read more fantasy and I've already picked up the sequel, Fire which doesn't follow Katsa and Po but I still can't wait to read it! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy or is looking to start getting more into it!
