Book Review: Sunbolt

Hello guys!

I don’t do much reviewing on my blog here, yes I talk books when the chance comes, like here and here. In fact the only book I officially reviewed was The Hobbit. And that was because I was enamored. A result of various reasons including my incurable crush on the Baggins Boys. Ehem. Anyway I wanted to read Sunbolt for a while now, and also promised the very nice and talented IntisarKhanani I would review it in celebration of the upcoming release of the sequel or the second book of The Sunbolt Chonicles; Memoriesof Ash (on May 30) so here we are. 

Your Captain: The THEME revealer!

State Of Day. Notice I changed decoration? That is what I was talking about back in August 2015.

Why Hello there everyone!

I cut this strategic withdrawal to present you with my 2016 A to Z challenge Theme. Now I wish I can say I’m all free and we can chat like we used to do before but alas, I thought I will be through with my research this March but now even April is taken into the loop.
or is it out of the equation?

Good news is–isha’Allah- I will be joining you all in the marathonic A to Z challenge. I would not miss it for the world. Now I doubt I will be as active as last year but I will do my best. Hoping only to keep posting until day Zero.

R = RED & Reading with a hint of Football

Wishing for this to happen again tonight

(MSN) celebrating with a goal for each

State Of Day. PSG are the opponent tonight, Champions League, 2^nd leg, home. After the victorious 3 – 0 in the 1^st leg FC Barcelona is pretty close to reaching the semifinals after this match, unless of course we shoot ourselves in the foot, which is something the team historically prevails in doing.

But no, no, no bad vibes, today is the day of positive energy.

Visca Barca.

L = Lighthouse (like Duh!) + The Lighthouse by Karen Heard too :D

State Of Day. So How To Train Your Dragon 2 was fun to watch. I liked the mirroring that was there between Hiccup and Toothless story arcs. And the younger characters were made much likable than they were in the first movie. I literary hated Astrid, now I think the mature Astrid is interesting. But come on! These boys are in their twenties, you can’t possibly convince me they haven’t got facial hair yet :|

5 STARS - LOVED it

So this is my first review on my blog, and I think it ran a little wild, sorry but the Hobbit is Sick dude!

You can’t accuse a Sudanese girl born in Saudi Arabia in the eighties of living in a bomb shelter for not coming across The Hobbit, more than you can accuse Harry & Hermione of that since they knew nothing about the tales of Beedle the Bard. The brothers Grimm stories were the European classics I knew but Tolkien books? No! sorry doesn’t ring a bell, you hit me in a blank place. Should I say more?

What can I say about The Hobbit? Such a perfect book that happens to be the Lord of The Rings on a smaller scale.

The best dialogue ever with catchy lines and everything, best descriptions, wonderful creatures, swords with ancient histories and songs

Poetry people Poetry!

I loved the maps and moon letters, and elf cities and dark woods, and different languages Ah!

(Elrond, graceful as usual makes a tomboy girl like me too ashamed to speak)

I LOVE FANTASY!

Remember in The Two Towers movie, the battle of Helms Deep when Legolas skates down the stairs on a shield shooting arrows at Orks? Well I remember saying to Strategykid that this is how skateboarding was invented. It was a joke of course, I had no idea that Tolkien have mentioned the invention of golf and well known proverbs in his book, 

That was SO cool :D
