darklina is trash

->𝕾𝖍𝖆𝖉𝖔𝖜 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝕭𝖔𝖓𝖊 - 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖗𝖊𝖛𝖎𝖊𝖜<-\

Alright let's talk about shadow and bone. The book not the show, I wish I was reviewing the show because it's waaay better. Don't get me wrong I love Leigh Bardugo, and six of crows is my favourite book of all time, but this wasn't her best work. So let's get started!

The book starts off with Alina, who is way better in the show. In the book I hate her guts. Like girl chill. She is a cartographer and she has a friend who is a soldier: Malyen Oretsev. Everyone hates him so much it's not even funny. Literally darklina shippers will say that Mal is toxic when they stan the darkling.

Look, I don't even like Mal that much, he annoying as well...especially in the second book. But in the show he is awesome.

We are off track. Alina and Mal are assigned to go on a ship the fold - which is are a darkness that divides the country Ravka that has monsters that rip you apart... So that's fun.

In the fold they almost die - so that's more fun - but no worries they are saved by Alina who is a human flashlight now. Just kidding she has light powers and is the only person that can vanquish the fold. So she was taken to the little Palace where were train grisha who are people with powers like Alina.

Along the way there she meets the darkling, a grisha that can control darkness, and a descendent of the original grisha who opened the fold - so it seems...

Everyone there is pressuring Alina that she needs to learn how to control her power, and she is surrounded by fake people that say they want to be friend like Marie and the other girl who I forgot her name. I like that in the show they are trying to be her friend and not speaking shit behind her back.

But there was one person who she does feel comfortable with - Genya! She is an amazing tailor, a grisha that can modify appearance. I love Genya, and David. They're amazing.

Alina is mad that now isn't replying to any of her letters, and finds herself in the arms of the darkling...bestie that ain't the right decision, because right away we find out that the darkling is evil - big surprise, as if we didn't know that from his name - and he is actually the one who opened the fold.

In this moment, I'd like to talk about darklina. The darkling is evil, they are toxic and I don't ship them. End of talk.

Mal finds Alina, blah blah blah they make up and kiss blah blah, and we end up in the end of the book, where the darkling is in the fold fighting Alina and Mal, and guess who wins? Of course Alina, but the darkling isn't dead, and it isn't over.

That's it, and I'll see you next time with a review of Siege and Storm.

realizing I missed percy's inner monologue while rereading the percy jackson series for the fifth time 🔱🌊⚔️💙

Today we’re reviewing the Percy Jackson series! I don’t think I can criticize this series (but then again do I ever criticize books on this blog?) but I can gush about it! I’m aiming to read the book in one day! Yes, I haven’t read it yet. But, at the end of the day (or when I finish the book) I’ll be back to review it! *** Hey guys! I’m back after reading the whole book. It was 3:00 when I started the book and now (checks clock) it is 6:50! PM, by the way, I’m not an early-morning reader. Anyway, let’s start. I have nothing to say about the plot, other than I enjoyed it and loved Percy’s narrative. But when they start off on their quest. Argus is a Percabeth shipper!!!! That’s all I have to say on the first half of the book....

a very very short review of heartstopper

A very very short review of h e a r t s t o p p e r Finally! It’s the show starring the ship; 𝓰𝓸𝓵𝓭𝓮𝓷 𝓻𝓮𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 × 𝓰𝓪𝔂 𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓰𝓾𝓶𝓹 Hi guys, it’s Eesha Samantray from the Samantray Post and today we’re reviewing HEART STOPPER , a tv adaptation of the graphic novel series. I watched the show without reading the books, and then went on webtoon and read the first two novels, then watched the show again. It’s a really well-done adaptation – I actually found out while reading the books, that most of the scenes were straight out of the books. All the changes were very welcome to me – like more drama, which was bound to happen as it was adapted into a show – including adding some new characters; Imogen, who I was very surprised by the turn they took with her character and how I loved her, and of course, one of the best characters; Isaac. He was just in the background reading his books, which is most likely to be me, as much as I’d li...

i hate teresa, she can die a brutal death

𝓲 𝓱𝓪𝓽𝓮 𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 , 𝓼𝓱𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝓭𝓲𝓮 𝓪 𝓫𝓻𝓾𝓽𝓪𝓵 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓱 Hey guys, it’s Eesha Samantray from The Samantray Post ! Today we’re reviewing THE SCORCH TRIALS , the second book of the Maze Runner series. I’ll sum it up; this book wasn’t good. The first book was phenomenal, but this book was…eh. Yes, there were twists – mostly involving Teresa, who I’ll talk about a bit later. But it just wasn’t good. People would tell you the exact reason why this book isn’t good, but those people aren’t reviewing this book I’ll tell you what scared the heebie-jeebies outta me: “Rose took my nose, I suppose. It really blows.” No context, sorry. You know if you know. Now let’s talk about what I really wanted to talk about: ~Teresa~ I fricken hate this girl. Don’t give me crap about ‘She’s doing it for humanity and Thomas.’ She made it clear that she’s with WICKED. And I felt really bad for Thomas. Newt would treat you better, just sayin’. “They kissed, but nothing stirred i...

teresa is finally dead, but im bawling over newt

𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 𝓲𝓼 𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓭 , 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓲𝓶 𝓫𝓪𝔀𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓷𝓮𝔀𝓽 Hi, it’s Eesha Samantray from The Samantray Post . Today we’re reviewing THE DEATH CURE , the third and last book of the Maze Runner series. It’s a solid book, but it was still really disappointing. Nothing could surpass the first book. Teresa is dead, so that’s the only good thing. But now Newt is dead! I hate that. They killed off my favourite character. I think that in the movie his death was sadder, but that’s my opinion. That’s my review, thank you for reading. --- Laugh at all the memes I've saved on Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.at/eeshasamantray/_saved/ Check out what I'm reading on Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/146096902-eesha-samantray Read my writing and enter my competitions on Quotev - https://www.quotev.com/thesamantraypost

tmr is amazing and i take no criticism

T M R is amazing and I take no criticism Y’all, reading and watching HEART STOPPER before the maze runner made me think that Charlie would be a great runner 😭 he is like only a year younger than Thomas, so same age range haha. Anyway, if you haven’t guessed, today we’re reviewing THE MAZE RUNNER , the first book in the series. If you don’t know what this book is, let me google this real quick. “A teen [Thomas] wakes up in a clearing in the centre of a gigantic maze with no memory of his past, finding himself a resident in community of boys who have built a village in the glade and who sends two of its strongest and fittest runners into the maze every morning to find a way out.” This is for the movie but it translates to the book as well. The Maze Runner is an amazing book, I really enjoyed it. It felt like a mystery, revealing information slowly each chapter, while the main characters tried to solve it. It read like a movie – which was why it made a great one! T...
