Scythe by Neal Shusterman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I vow to become the change that might have been.
This was sooo good and I was pleasantly surprised and I'm very very happy about it!
I think I had some tiny issues at times but by the end of the book all I could think of was that I loved it and that I need to read the next book asap.
Immortality cannot temper the folly or frailty of youth. Innocence is doomed to die a senseless death at our own hands, a casualty of the mistakes we can never undo. So we lay to rest the wide-eyed wonder we once thrived upon, replacing it with scars of which we never speak, too knotted for any amount of technology to repair.

Renegades
Renegades by Marissa Meyer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
⭐️3 stars⭐️
They promised to protect people, but crimes still happened everyday. People were still hurt. People were still killed.
There was the potential for evil everywhere, and the only way to combat it was if more people chose goodness. If more people chose heroism.
Not laziness. Not apathy. Not indifference.
I really wanted to love this one. There were superheroes and villains and fights and all that jazz and I was excited until I realized that the main characters were boring. And that I didn't care about them at all. And if that's not enough to ruin a book for you I don't know what is.
It was in no way bad. I actually enjoyed the story. I just wish I liked the characters more. Or disliked. Or felt anything for them i guess.

The Lion and the Bride Vol. 1
The Lion and the Bride Vol. 1 by Mika Sakurano
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
⭐️2.5 stars⭐️
I usually rate manga after I finish with the whole series but I don't think I'll be continuing this.. Turns out it's not really for me after all.
However I MUST say that the art is reeeally beautiful so if you're into shoujo manga and wondering if you should read this or not, I say go for it.
★Thank you to Netgalley for the copy★

"Let's do it. It's better than waiting for whatever's going to happen to just happen. If we make it out, we'll shine a light on what BeiTech did."
"And if we don't?"
"At least our lives will have been worth dying for."
And of course let's not forget about our favorite mass murdering AI

"Come on. Say it, Raffe." I give him a half smile. "I love it when you say Pooky Bear. It's just so perfect when it comes out of your mouth."
"She might kill you in your sleep one of these days just so she can get rid of that name."

When you're small enough to have to look up at everyone around you, there's no such thing as a dirty fight.
That's a new motto for me.
I think I'll keep it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Crows remember human faces. They remember the people who feed them, who are kind to them. And the people who wrong them too. They don’t forget. They tell each other who to look after and who to watch out for.
