Anyone want to recommend a book to me? I like action/adventure packed books like Percy Jackson. I've already read Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Divergent, and Eragon.
I'm not sure if you guys will like this, but I recommend the book
Graceling
In my opinion, I really like the series.

I liked Graceling best and Bitterblue just creeped me out. The man is a monster!!!!!!!!
This is a book that I just read it's really good. It has action and there is some romance. You can try it if you want.

Julie wrote: "I've read all of those except Everwild. Is it good?"Yes I loved it! It hasn't gotten a lot of notice though :/ This is my review:
This is one of those books that you read after having read a bunch of books with the same plot and you just think "so books CAN be different!". That didn't happen to me but I imagine it could happen to someone... :D So anyway down to business.
I got this book on Amazon on a whim and I'm glad I did. From the first page, it absorbed me. This book is about witches and all that fantasy stuff but it puts a new spin on it. It's also very real. the main character, Willow Rose (I LOVE her name by the way!), is an immature 16 year-old but she has her bright moments. she's lived a sheltered life so it was nice to see that the author kept it real by making her act that way. She doesn't know a lot about the world or at the most just knows a bunch of facts with no experiences to go with them which is to be expected for her situation and age.
This is a 4 star book to me for two reasons. One, I'm sure you've heard me say before - it just isn't a true fangirl book for me. I won't obsess over the characters or imagine what it would be like if Willow ended up with someone else or how she will defeat Hekate or anything like that. Yes, I have an extreme urge to get the next one but it wasn't great.
The second reason, I haven' said about many books but I feel like I have to say it about this one. The love story between Willow Rose and Declan was extremely predictable. Declan gets pushed into the portal, they go on a long and dangerous journey alone, they fall in love, and have relationship problems along the way. Of course that isn't entirely true but if I say why, it will be a spoiler and I've been trying so hard lately to have spoiler free reviews so that's that.
So four stars for a really good reality but lacking in the relationship origionality department.
Oh and P.S. I LOVE the cover - beautiful!!
I've read Half-Blood (the entire series actually), Legend (also the entire series), and Prince of Wolves (entire series as well)! They're all really good! :D I'm going to check out those books! Thanks! :D
I completely agree with Julie. The whole series together is absolutely incredible!!
I think everyone should read
(Angelfall by Susan Ee)This book is very dark (with evil angels and some creepy other stuff), fast paced, has a lot of action and is also very funny! (the characters are awesome)

I thought the book was very good. I haven't read the 2nd book yet though, I can't find the book around where I live at.

I finished it, as well as the second book! I'm super excited for the next book to come out, but I doubt it'll be anytime soon. :( Though, it was amazing!

I really like it! Penryn is one of my all time favorite book characters. She is so funny. I mean, Pooky Bear!? :'D
But I'm not that far in, I just started reading today
Yes, Penryn is one of my favs as well! :D
Also, the swords permanent name is Pooky Bear, and she can't change it. I'm not going to give anything else away until you finish reading it! :D
I hope you like it!

Aryan wrote: "I like Gone by Micheal Grant a lot so far! Do you guys have any recommendations?"I really do recommend you to read Legend.
It's dystopian :)
also a beautiful series to start is Shatter Me. Also dystopian, but more character based than action packed.
