《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'Puzzle pieces' by loveeboat
Advertisement
'Puzzle pieces' is a book about Jasmine Grant, a normal girl from New York. One day, she gets new neighbours. Dylan Ford, the new neighbours' son, befriends her quickly. However, Jasmine is caught up in some shady business for a Maxen Knight. Can she keep this a secret from Dylan?
When I started reading, I was bored. It all started so slow, so uninterestingly cliché. I didn't know if I could handle 18 chapters of it.
But then, this changed. A sudden plot twist reveals that Jasmine has to work for Knight. From that point on, the story is less slow and starts getting interesting.
The characters are good, only Mr. Knight strikes me as unconvincing at times. Too evil and heartless. The rest are fine.
The GPS is just fine, don't worry about it.
There's also something about the whole Maxen Knight thing I'd like to adress. I couldn't figure out why Jasmine was working for him. Maybe I overlooked something, maybe it's not supposed to be revealed yet, but it comes sudden and it's rather confusing. A little more explanation would be nice.
A slow start, but it gets better. Overall, a nice story to pass some time with.
Rating: 6.5

The Undead Revolution
This was my first attempt at writing a story, in hiatus indefinitely. This story follows Silvy, half-elf, a rare race despised by both humans and elves. Having never met her father, the first years of her life were spent together with her mother, who had to leave her native village because of the blasphemy she had committed by giving birth to Silvy. At the age of eight, Silvy became an orphan and was left to fend for herself. Her mother had died of illness, Silvy’s life turning upside down: the child went from living in a modest but cozy home with poor but daily meals to live outside the walls in the slums, where crime was commonplace and food was scarce. Luck had yet to abandon her completely though, because a group of orphans like Silvy decided to help, integrating her into their group and teaching the tricks of the trade; that is, stealing and swindling. But fate had not yet finished playing with her. Kidnapped and frightened, her life will turn upside down again when she awakens as undead, but still able to think clearly.
