The Fiery Heart book trailer

So there's a little more than a month until The Fiery Heart is released, and the book trailer came out a couple of days ago. I don't particulary like book trailers. I mean, I like getting to know something about the book, but I can't stand the way they portrait that particular scene. For example, in this book trailer, there's this scene between Adrian and Sydney, and, just like it happened in other books, the scene I see is in no way the same one as in my mind. My mind's Sydney and Adrian have a lot more chemistry than these actors, for sure. They try to look really natural, but they don't look like that to me. 

I'm not saying that I hate these book trailers, because I don't, I just don't like them. They also have good things. Even though Adrian and Sydney aren't as the ones I imagined, they're better than they would be if this was a real movie. Because that's what I do, I compare book trailers to what a movie about it would look like. And in that sense, book trailers are amazing, mainly because they respect what's going on in the book.

So about The Fiery Heart in particular, I like this scene we've seen. And I know that, after three books of liking-not liking each other, this one's going to be all lovely and perfect, besides the fact that they are going to have to hide their relationship from everyone else. And a sudden thought that just came to my mind is the possibility of them telling Rose, because she's the expert on dealing with impossible relationships but then, why would Adrian tell her? They didn't really end up in good terms (that's one of the things that still bothers me...). So I have no idea of what's going to happen in the book. Now Zoey's here, so everything's different. And will Sydney finally realise that she doesn't want that kind of Alchemist life, even if that's everything she is? I don't know how is Richelle going to solve this... So I guess we'll just have to wait. 

November 19 is almost there! And lots of things have to happen until then (Allegiant!!)... 

So in case you haven't watched it, here's the link to the trailer:

Switched, Amanda Hocking (Trylle #1)

Synopsis:

When Wendy Everly was six years old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. Eleven years later, Wendy discovers her mother might have been right. She’s not the person she’s always believed herself to be, and her whole life begins to unravel—all because of Finn Holmes.

Finn is a mysterious guy who always seems to be watching her. Every encounter leaves her deeply shaken…though it has more to do with her fierce attraction to him than she’d ever admit. But it isn’t long before he reveals the truth: Wendy is a changeling who was switched at birth—and he’s come to take her home.

Now Wendy’s about to journey to a magical world she never knew existed, one that’s both beautiful and frightening. And where she must leave her old life behind to discover who she’s meant to become…

So a lot has happened since the last time I posted something, a month ago. I've been really busy with school, having started this International Baccalaureate thing that's taking all of my time, because I have to read all these books for school and don't have much time for read what I really like. So this is just a review about a book I read this summer.

I have this friend who strongly recommended me this series, so I had to listen to her, because she's one of those who know how and what to read. So I bought the book as soon as I found it and read it in a couple of days. 

I loved it! I mean, I didn't expect as much as I usually do, because my hopes usually get turned down lately... But I really liked it. It kind of surprised me that a topic like that could be treated as good as Amanda Hocking did. So after the first five chapters or so, which were more or less the introduction to the series, I started liking it more and more. I like Finn, he's a really nice guy, really good and charming. He's not one of those book-guys I will always be in love with, like Dimitri Belikov and Damon Salvatore, to mention only some, but he's nice enough to make the love story in the book work. And about Wendy... I don't know. I don't usually like the main female characters, but Wendy is a nice girl. And I've noticed that I'm saying "nice" all the time... But that's what I think, even if it's been two months since I read it. And I don't know why, but every time I think of the book the word "innocent" comes to my mind. No idea why. I have to think about it... 

So the story is not bad, the characters could be much better, but they're fine. The plot seems weird at first (with the troll thing, which sounds bad but it's not), but then it just reminds me of books I've read before, with that kind of society divided into classes, such as the Wings series, which is a lot alike, now that I think of it. That's become typical, lately. And in my opinion, the author writes with a natural language, not particularly amazing but good. 

So the book totally deserves to be read, and I personally can't wait to read the other two and finish the series. So read it. Give it a try.
