“I want to live. I want to find a way to save everyone and LIVE. Is it so horrible that I want to save myself too? Is that such an awful request?”

I’m still thinking of my rating, but right now it stands at a 4.75/5 stars. *5 stars in my head though* I’ve been so distracted about reading lately and almost going into the state of not wanting to read so this has affected reading this book. HOWEVER! So, the first book was my favorite thing I read in 2014 and I loved ILF just as much.
So much was added to it. @sararaasch doesn’t fail me so *shrugs*. Meira has gone on a journey with some of her Winterians and Theron and his Cordellans to travel Primoria in search of a way to help magic in two different opinionated ways. Mather, cute as always, stays to watch Winter from the butt heads that are Cordell aka Noam.
Meira also deals with trying to control her newfound magic as well along the way, so everything goes smooth as I’m reading until near the very end where I about had a heart attack, yeah that’s right, I almost did.
But wait, so nothing is as it’s seems and Meira meets new people along the way while making many enemies as well, but you know, that doesn’t stop her.
Theron makes me want to just love him until I figured he is becoming slightly annoying and I want to strangle him. Mather, I’m rooting for you all the way till the end. The characters, the journey, everything spoke volumes.

I am finally glad I was able to read the sequel to one of my favorites. The fact that there is only ONE more makes me cry especially since I’ll have to find the closest bookstore to me once I head off to the big leagues that is college. So I could be freaking out having another crisis in my room while my roommate stares at me crazily, but that’s ok right? Anyways, I WANT MY THIRD BOOK NOW AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE READS THE SEQUEL WHO LOVED THE FIRST ONE JUST AS MUCH!

Meira has to escape the city of Lynia! With the guards following her, she’ll have to run as fast as she can.
BASIC CARDIO ROUTINE. TiME: 10 MINUTES
BEFORE DOING ANY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY YOU MUST WARMUP.
Once you finished doing the warmup, you can start with the workout.This first workout is designed to develop some of the physical conditions to have a successful ESCAPE.
The
bases of this workout are the cardio intervals, we will go from less to
more and then from more to less, we will also work on our leg strength.
Exercise 1
-Walk for 30 seconds, then
accelerate to a light run or jog for 1 minute.
Time: 1:30Exercise 2
-After
the light run, you will do some sumo squats; the main characteristic of
this squat is that your legs have to be open at a larger width than
your shoulders. We will work on intervals in the
following way: 30 seconds continuous squatting and then 15 seconds
holding the position with your knees bent (repeat twice).
Time: 1:30Exercise 3
Now you will jog for 1 minute, and then you
will accelerate and run for 30 seconds, then back to jogging for another
30 seconds.
Time: 2:00Exercise 4
You will do some lunges, following the same process in
exercise 2. You will start with your right foot in front , do lunges
for 30 seconds, and hold the position down for 15 seconds. After
that, you will immediately do the same with your left foot in front
(repeat twice).
Time: 3:00Exercise 5
Finish with cardio. Start running for 30 seconds; after that, lower the
speed and start jogging for another 30 seconds and finally, walk for 1
minute.
Time: 2:00Complete time: 10 minutes.
IF ANY OF THESE EXERCISES IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR YOU, YOU CAN DO A PAUSE BETWEEN THEM,
BUT YOU MUST COMPLETE THIS ROUTINE. On the other hand, if some exercise
is too easy, you can increase your speed or add some extra seconds to
the strength exercises.IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO STRETCH A BIT AFTER WORKING OUT; IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, STRETCH FOR AT LEAST 1 OR 2 MINUTES.
OH. MY GOD.
A MEIRA WORKOUT
I never knew I wanted this until now.
