Random Magic Tour

So today is my tour stop so all throughout the day I will be posting different things of interest about Random Magic. Then in a few days I will have my book review up and I will put all of the links together.

The first thing about Random Magic that I am going to post is the book trailer which is very colorful and interesting just like the book. Enjoy!

The Stolen One by Suzanne Crowley

When her adoptive mother dies, Katherine Bab takes the chance she has been waiting for her whole life: she moves from her country village to London, to uncover the secret of who she really is. Before long, Kat has become a favorite of Queen Elizabeth herself, and rumors are swirling - could fiery-haired Kat be the secret daughter of the Virgin Queen? Kat's got plenty of other things to figure out, as well . . . such as how to choose between her childhood love and two handsome men at court vying for her affection.

I love learning and reading about the Tudors even in this case where they aren't the main characters but they are still involved really is fun for me Especially Elizabeth who plays a semi prominent role in this novel. So needless to say I was really excited to get my hands on this book!

The characters were well developed and different, there were many different character struggles between Katherine and others in the novel which kept it interesting. Also it was fun to try and figure out who her mother really was.

The main thing about this book that bothered me was I felt that who her mother was, was given away way too soon in the book, and I wish that there had been more facts about the court in the novel but overall a good book!

4/5

Here is the beautiful book trailer!

Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception by Maggie Stiefvater

Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan is a painfully shy but prodigiously gifted musician. She's about to find out she's also a cloverhand—one who can see faeries. Deirdre finds herself infatuated with a mysterious boy who enters her ordinary suburban life, seemingly out of thin air. Trouble is, the enigmatic and gorgeous Luke turns out to be a gallowglass—a soulless faerie assassin. An equally hunky—and equally dangerous—dark faerie soldier named Aodhan is also stalking Deirdre. Sworn enemies, Luke and Aodhan each have a deadly assignment from the Faerie Queen. Namely, kill Deirdre before her music captures the attention of the Fae and threatens the Queen's sovereignty. Caught in the crossfire with Deirdre is James, her wisecracking but loyal best friend. Deirdre had been wishing her life weren't so dull, but getting trapped in the middle of a centuries-old faerie war isn't exactly what she had in mind . . .

This book was very interesting and gripping! I sometimes felt as if I was in the book, which at times I have to admit was not really a good thing. But the description was so powerful and so well executed that I could not help but be drawn in!

The characters were very believable even the fake ones I really wished that I knew Deirdre I wanted to be her and James' friend! The plot fell together perfectly and had some red herrings along the way!

Also Maggie is so multi-talented that you have to experience it!

5/5

Here is the trailer for the sequel!!!! And yes Maggie wrote the book, played the music and drew the pictures!



See what I was talking about multi talented!

Graceling by Kristin Cashore

By Kristin Cashore

Summary
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.
She never expects to learn the truth behind her Grace—or the terrible secret that lies hidden far away . . . a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone.
Review
Graceling is an epic novel. If you have not read it you need to go run and pick it up. Katsa is a strong powerful female character who is a wonderful role model, she is the type of women that little girls should look up to.

Kristin Cashore has created a beautiful world in the seven kingdoms, it reminds me of Tamora Pierce's Tortall in how complex and varied it is. Fans of fantasy will fall in love with Cashore's storytelling and her world building.

Now I know that many people are wary of high/epic fantasy and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why. I think that people who are wary should give Graceling a try. Just read it and then make your final decision.

Po, oh Po. I love Prince Greening Grandemalion. He is one of my favorite parts of Graceling. And after reading Fire I am positive that Kristen Cashore creates the most beautiful, wonderful love interests.

Either way go to the book store and pick up Graceling, you won't be disappointed.
5/5

My review of Fire: FIRE
If you liked Graceling try The Near Witch
