Airman

I really enjoyed this book, it has action, love, betrayal, and scheming.

Airman is a bit of a different book compared to others that Eoin Colfer has written. It takes place on the Saltee Islands, the main character is someone named Conor Broekhart. Conor is a young man that is framed for a crime and is sent to jail on Little Saltee. While in jail, Conor comes up with a new identity for himself, makes some new friends, and finds a way to escape from Little Saltee and horrible memories.

Once he is back on Great Saltee, Conor has to save his family from Marshall Hugo Bonvilain. This Marshall has a plan that will involve the new queen, Conors parents, and making him king so that he can control the Saltee Islands.

Airman is a fun read that anyone could enjoy. I was sucked in and couldn't put it down until it was finished!

The Inheritance Cycle

An Amazing Series! It is one of my all time favorites. Paolini does a fantastic job of creating pictures in yoiur mind and making it feel like you are actually there. They become your friends and you loose a piece of yourself with the series ends. It was hard. :( All the characters have their own distinct personalities and there own ways of thinking. The author even came up with his own native language for the series. It's unreal.
These books are about Dragons. Huge, fierce, intelligent and beautiful creatures who will scare the pants off of whoever gets on their bad side.
Saphira hatches for Eragon and the immediately take to each other. They go through more battle, heartache and joy together than anyone ever should. And that doesn't even begin to skim the surface of the series that drew me in from the beginning.
Together, Saphira, Eragon , a few friends and some allies, have amazing and eventful (to say the least) journeys that change and shape their lives in ways they never could have dreamed.
These books had such an impact on me I want everybody to read them and have a great time doing so!

P.S. Don't let the size intimidate you!

The Looking Glass Wars

First of all, her name is spelled "Alyss" and she is the rightful heir to Wonderland. But. Alyss's evil aunt, Redd, is trying to take back the throne for herself.

When Redd tries to kill Alyss, like she did her parents, the Royal Bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, saves her by jumping into the Pool of Tears. And that's when the real story begins...

This book is a MUST READ! It is definitely a page turner. Frank Beddor did a fabulous job of describing  characters and scenes. He also did great with twisting perspectives of both the characters and the readers!

So, if you like fantasy, wars with cards, action and maybe a little bit of romance, you should absolutely read this book!
