Zeus (Jupiter) : God of the sky and thunder / King of the gods
Favourite book (choose your own category!)
How do I even choose? Well, I know my favourite category is Fantasy, but which book from it? Ah, I know! I adore A Court of Mist and Fury, which I thought was so good. It was packed with action, world building, plot twists... Everything I need! :)

Hera (Juno) : Goddess of marriage and fertility
Cutest book couple
How can I choose? I have so many OTPs, but I think the one that rises above the rest is Percabeth. No arguments there. All the sass and banter is so fun to read about. Oh yes, and Solangelo ;)

Poseidon (Neptune) : God of the seas and earthquakes
Book that drowned you in feels
I think we can all agree that Clockwork Princess was filled to the rim with feels and angst. The love triangle, JEM, WILL, basically everything. UGH :(

Athena (Minerva) : Goddess of wisdom, handicraft and strategic warfare
Series with the best world building
The Grisha series. One of the best world building I've read. Would you want to live there? I'd like to be a Grisha, it seems so cool. Who hasn't dreamed of having special powers?
Hades (Pluto) : God of the Underworld
Favourite book with dark/ominous plot
Asylum by Madeleine Roux, which kind of reminds me of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, especially because it also has many creepy photos inside. I always love books with mental asylums in it, so that was a bonus as well.

Aphrodite (Venus) : Goddess of love and beauty
Most beautiful cover on a 2016 release
Ares (Mars) : God of war and bloodshed
Most violent book you've ever read
I don't think I've read a book with as much violence as As I Darken by Kiersten White. It is a retelling of Vlad the Impaler, so no surprises there about the amount of bloodshed.

Hephaestus (Vulcan) : God of blacksmiths and fire
Scorching hot swoon worthy character
Can I choose Will Herondale? He's so sarcastic and sassy all the time. ;)

Artemis (Diana) : Goddess of the hunt and virginity
Favourite kick-ass heroine
My favourite heroine is and will always be Katniss Everdeen. She's strong, ruthless when needs to be but also isn't afraid to show her emotions.

Phoebus Apollo (Apollo) : God of light and healing
Sequel that redeemed the series
I think this will fall to Her Dark Curiosity by Megan Shepherd. I did enjoy The Madman's Daughter, but I thought the second book really did push the series even further, so that it was even more intriguing.

Hermes (Mercury) : Messenger god of thieves and commerce
Book with best message
There Will Be Lies by Nick Lane is one of the best contemporary-mystery books I've ever read. The plot, the style, the character development, everything. I recommend you to read it right now.

Hestia (Vesta) : Goddess of the hearth and home
Book with most relatable story
Book with the most relatable story? I think this would fall into the Contemporary book category, therefore: The Lucy Variations by Sara Zarr. I find it relatable because it's all about classical music and piano, another one of my interest! ;D

Demeter (Ceres) : Goddess of fertility and agriculture
Favourite bookish setting
The Londons in A Darker Shade of Magic. Who doesn't like the idea of different Londons? As I've said before, Red London seems to be the best to live in.

I totally agree with all of these! The Grisha series has such a beautiful world. I mean, who wouldn't want to live there? Just the thought of living there makes me happy :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I'd love to be in the Grisha world and BE a Grisha as well! :)
DeletePercabeth and Solangelo are the cutest! Also the Grishaverse has a really really amazing world building! It's like Leigh Bardugo invents its own folktales, cultures, language... it's one of the most complex world building I've read about.
ReplyDeleteI know! Most authors botch up the world building, but Leigh Bardugo does it perfectly! Not too little detail, but not too much either or else it would be too boring! She's made the perfect balance.
DeleteI was looking at this tag thinking ‘this is so cool! I might just steal it and say ‘i wasn’t tagged but whatever’’. Then I was tagged! o.o!! Thank you! :D Can’t wait to do it, hahahah.
ReplyDeleteGemina yes! I pre-ordered a signed copy and I’m so excited! :D
And of course I agree with Clockwork Princess. That book crushed me in so many ways, and now the whole series is one of my favorites just because what Cassandra Clare managed to write and to make me feel was phenomenal!
