Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife

I found this book very  difficult to read because it uses a lot of medical terms and definitions. I struggled in the beginning and at the end. Overall I enjoyed the book. It really give a new perspective on the afterlife and if there really is one.  I give this a 3.5/5 stars.

Wake by Lisa McMann

This was a very good book. I loved the way it was written. I wouldn't recommend this for younger readers because it does use a lot of swear words in it. The premise of the story was something I had heard of before, but told in the way Lisa tells it. I give this a 5/5 stars.

The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater

This was absolutely the best way to end the series. It was filled with passion, adventure, and was very intense. The ending was beautiful and it was not what you would expect. I wanted to cry, but yet I was filled with extreme joy as I closed the book. I will definitely be re-reading this entire series in the future. This was the best ending I could have hoped for. I give a 5/5 stars.

Uprooted by Naomi Novik

I absolutely loved this book. It just grabbed me from the start. I was a bit disappointed in the way it ended though because it didn't give me the answer I wanted for certain. It hints at it, but it doesn't out right with it. Also there were sometime points in the book were I wanted to go in and strangle the characters because they seemed to complacent or they were to flaccid. Even with these disappointments, I still devoured the book. I read almost the entire book in one day, but left the last few pages for the next day. I give this a 4.5/5 stars.
