betrayal
Love, Lies, Betrayal...What more could you want?
Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective wall. To the south, the King's powers are failing, and his enemies are emerging from the shadows of the throne. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the frozen land they were born to. Now Lord Eddard Stark is reluctantly summoned to serve as the King's new Hand, an appointment that threatens to sunder not only his family but also the kingdom itself. A heroic fantasy of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and evildoers who come together in a time of grim omens. The first volume in George Martin's series. This book is amazing! It has a great plot and I would give it 5 stars :) The one draw back of it is that it is quite ling, hence why its called an epic.
The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner #2)
The gladers are just starting to feel safe when they find out it's just another lie, another part of the trials. Apparently, if they want to live they've got to travel 100 miles to the safe haven, but it's not so easy. There are cranks everywhere. Not to mention the people they thought they could trust. I gave this book 4/5 stars. I really like how it's all twisty. For instance you really, really think something's going to happen and it's just the opposite, and oh how the betrayal hits.

Great Fantasy/Adventure for Young Teens on up
What a wonderful story! "The Dragon of Trelian" by Michelle Knudsen is one of the best books I've read in a long while. It tells of the friendship of a princess and the mage's apprentice, about her relationship with a dragon, and about young love, magic, and what it means to have good relationships within a family. There is something for everyone: dragons and evil magicians, a handsome young man with a dashing smile and deep eyes, a grumpy old man, a wedding, adventure...there is so much to be thankful for within its pages. The author does such a great job describing what goes on in a young teen's mind. It's really neat. One thing that bugged me, though, was the fact that you could tell where the author was "inspired" by other writers. I saw obvious ties to Eragon, LotR, The Runaway Princess (by Kate Coombs), and others. But that was the only negative thing I can say about the story. "The Dragon of Trelian" is simply the type wonderful fantasy for young teens that is so rare nowadays. I would highly recommend it.
