Top Ten of the Best Books I’ve Read Recently
I love Fairy Tail and have been
meaning to start reading its spin-offs for a while now. I started off with
Wendy’s Spinoff Blue Minstrel and I was not disappointed! That adorable little
sky dragon slayer is holding her own and is truly an amazing character.
I’ve owned this book for awhile, read
about 8 pages 4 years ago and finally sat down and read it this year. It lived
up to the hype, and it was so cool seeing how much of the lore Stoker put in
one book.
I will never not love this serious.
I will read all of the Avatar Universe until they stop producing new material.
Hopefully that will never happen because I need the gap between Aang and Korra
filled up, after Legend of Korra ended, and even just stories about all of the
past avatar’s adventures. Right now we’re looking at a rebel uprising that
wants to dethrone Zuko and make Ozai the Firelord again! I haven’t read the
third and final part yet but I’m looking forward to it.
This is seriously not a story to
pass up. Cindy Moon aka Silk is an Asian-American young woman who was bitten by
the same radioactive spider as Peter Parker but wasn’t able to control her
powers. She locked herself up in an underground bunker where she stayed for years
until discovered by Spiderman himself! Now she’s a badass force of nature who
beats up bad guys and always has a witty remark. This comic features Spiderman,
The Fantastic Four, Black Cat, Mockingbird, and Spiderwoman, and everyone’s
favorite boss: J. Jonah Jameson Jr.
Ms. Marvel is another awesome comic
featuring a 16-year-old Pakistani-American. She’s marvel’s first Muslim character
to get their own comic book and the first volume won the 2015 Hugo Award for
Best Graphic Story. It’s so refreshing to get some diversity!
Ok this is going to be my last
Marvel promotion but this is also another amazing read. Angela is Thor’s
sister, an Angel Bounty Hunter who grew up outside of the 9 realms. This comic
starts out with her lover Sera in Hel and Angela’s goal is to take over as
Queen of Hel to free her lover and mistreated Angel sisters. If you want an
empowered woman, queer representation and all the sass look no further!
This is one of the new canon Star
Wars books so of course I had to read it. It looks at what’s really good
and evil and whether or not a middle ground exists. Vos (a jedi) and Ventress (a
former sith and enemy of the jedi) realize that they have a common enemy: Count
Dooku. Teaming up will give them the best chance at killing him before he and
the separatists take over the galaxy destroying innocent lives. Being partners
on such a stressful mission creates an intricate bond between a dark force user
and a light force user like never before.
I’ve already reviewed this but this
book is another great novel by Marie Lu. The cast of characters get cool powers
in such an interesting way and I love how the story is told by the villain’s
perspective.
I’m Rick Riordan trash. As long as
he writes mythological books, I will read mythological books. Magnus was a fascinating
character and I was shocked to find that he was killed only a couple pages into
the book. This also has Muslim representation with Magnus’s good friend Sam as
well as plenty of references to his past works since they’re all intertwined so
well! (Also Annabeth Chase makes a brief appearance so that’s a plus)
