Pendragon: Pilgrims of Rayne

I have started this new book that is called Pendragon: Pilgrims of Rayne and so far it seems really good I'm at like page 68. It is the 8th book in its series and it  still surprises me like usually you will read a book and later in the series you can really predict whats happening. But I love this book its about this guy named Bobby and he has to save theses territories to keep the balance of earth like if he loses a territory something on earth changes. Also Bobby has help from people on each of the territories from people that are called travelers and there is someone who is trying to stop him called Saint Dane and he is trying to control Halla which is basically life and the travelers have to stop him or darkness will just take over.

Every Territory has something that is called a turning point and if the travelers mess up the turning point the territory will be lost and a part of Halla will be broken and the walls between the territories and if they mix everything will be chaos. What I like most about the territories is that they are a problem in second earth or the earth in the present. Like one of the books it's problem is that people are relying on technology to much and that there world around them is falling apart with problems like pollution and theft and things of that nature. It really gets a good perspective if how we need to stop relying on technology so much and just stop oversimplifying things. It'
s a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes action and a little bit of mystery who is in there teens. It is an amazing book and I hope you read it.

Catching Fire

I read the book Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I loved this book for many reasons one of them was how they had used imagery in the book. Like when they describe the setting when they tell you what the cornucopia looks like or When Finnick comes out of the water and it just describes how the saltwater tastes and how it looked it was amazing. Also how she does characterisation she had mostly used direct but i liked it better when she had used indirect because she could describe them better. When she described finnick when she showed how aggressive he was in the arena and how he would just walk und like he was the best out of everyone you could tell what kind if guy he was. There is a work for it but I don't really think that my teacher would like that. The action was one thing that also got methrough the arena and get into various traps like the acid rain in the jungle that would just devour you. Or the noises that you could hear at the certain part in the arena. It had made the book a whole lot better to read then when they were just in district 12. I mean some stuff had happened there but in my opinion i don't really think it was as suspense full as it was in the arena. I like that it has sort of an underdog sort of theme like no matter how small you are you have to stick up for your rights. Mostly this is showed in the effort for rebellion but she is getting followers and more support to beat the capital. So the reasons I like this book are the action suspense and the imagery.
