Pentias - Master of the Elemental Jewels by Karthika Sajeev
4.0
Pentias is a fantasy fiction novel. This book is about friendship, trust, sacrifice and love. Pentias is about the adventures of a group of friends. The story revolves around Aahan and his past. His love for his family and friends becomes the backbone of the story. There's some kind of a mystery in the book that keeps the reader absorbed. I enjoyed reading this book. What I loved the most in the book is the mutual trust between the brothers. If you are looking for a fantasy fiction which concentrates on the theme of friendship and trust, this is for you. It makes you wish that you were a child again! This is an easy read. You will never regret reading this book. The plot is well constructed and the characters are so likeable.

Even if it's in the category of children's literature, adults will also find it interesting!
The writing style deserves applause! The plot unfolds flawlessly. Daisy Dovetail is my favourite character from the book. Her character development is one of the best parts of the story. She is fearless, kind and loving. She always stood strong. I don't want to spoil the story. I love this bookâ¤

I had heard mixed reviews about this book and thought that I wouldn't like this story... I didn't expect much from the book before I started reading. But the second page of the book changed everything!
I found a lot of similarities between me and Marianne!!!
I enjoyed reading this book. It took me about 3 hours to read this book. I didn't want this book to end! I didn't like the ending

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
5.0
"He weeps as he lifts me on to our bed. My corpse sags; it is warm in the tent, and smell will come soon. He does not seem to care. He holds me all night long, pressing my cold hands to his mouth."
This is the most tragic story I have ever read.
Patroclus loved Achilles and wanted to save him. He wanted to stay with Achilles. He was ready to join him in death as is evident from his conversation with Briseis.
'He falls on the body. The knowledge rushes up to him, choking off breath. A scream comes, tearing its way out. And then another, and another. He seizes his hair in his hands and yanks it from his head. Golden strands fall on to the bloody corpse. Patroclus, he says, Patroclus. Patroclus.'
How am I supposed to not cry at this point!
Leaving Patroclus and Achilles aside, Deidameia's fate is tragic. Achilles did not love her and she lost his son. Thetis is so cruel. She spoiled her son's and Deidameia's lives. How could she do that to her son? She indeed tried to prevent him from fighting and also tried to protect him. But she wasn't able to understand his feelings. She was selfish. She loved Pyrrhus more than Achilles. I despise Pyrrhus. He was not at all like his father. Maybe it's because Thetis brought him up. Briseis was the only one apart from Achilles who truly loved Patroclus. The conversation between Briseis and Achilles after Patroclus death is something I can't get out of my head.
This is one of the best books I have ever read!
