What would you choose to be? J Bisht

 


If you could choose to be a creature of land, air or sea, what would you choose to be?


I’d choose the air , said she


Why would I not want to see the zillion glittering stars above me and below me


What would give me the same adrenaline rush as free falling and the gravity pull 


Or the peace when I view the zenith from a vantage point far above


And I can be wherever I want to be. Land or sea can be here or there, but with air i can be anywhere, everywhere.


Yes,  creature of the air is what l’d want to be, said she

The Remnant Chronicles (3 part series): Mary E. Pearson

Recommend: Yes, Spoiler: Not really This story is about a girl who wants to live life on her terms and does not apologize for making decisions (related to her life), even if they might lead to upset families, disgruntled kingdoms or potentially wars. She leaves her home a spoilt princess but her adventures help her learn about her "gift", the real problems in her and other kingdoms and also temper her biases. She meets two accomplices along the way who make her journey interesting and enable her transformation into the queen she eventually becomes :). This is a three part series and I enjoyed every moment of it.      In my ranking I would give it a 7/10 :)

The narration style was different and made it impossible to keep the book down. I ended up reading it in one sitting. But the book ended up being open ended. I don’t like open ended books. I like there to be a logical ending. However, it was a befitting ending. The other reason this left me unsettled was the shady portrayal of army. The story is based in Kashmir and takes you through the life of 4 characters who grew up together. Oubaid - the son of the shepherd related to the Puj and part Zaeldar, Tufail - son of the Zaeldar, Sabia - daughter of Puj, and Muzaffar - son of a journalist. The story reveals the deals people make that make them all accompli...
