Celestra Knights

review 1: So Addison Moore has done it again! Every time I think this series can not get any better, she some how manages to accomplish just that. This is ethereal knights, which is a retelling of book one in her Celestra from the point of view of the two Oliver boys. It is not a new story, but since the first book only showed us things from Skyla's POV, there is so much more to be discovered. I should probably start out with the fact that I am kind of mad at Addison. I completely knew who I wanted Skyla to end up with when this series ends (there is currently one book left). She had to go and ruin it for me. Seriously, I had a strong non-love for Logan from the first book and now that I see his side of things, I am so confused. I kind of like the guy now. Uggggggg. Now I d... moreo not know who I should be cheering on! I have read the first book in this series numerous times. I tend to reread the series before a new book comes out. I thought I knew it all. If it was a category on Jeopardy I would so sweep it. Now that I have read Ethereal Knights, I realize there was so much more to the story. If you have not read Celestra, I highly recommend you pick it up. It is currently free and reading it before you read this, or at least reading it back to back will make both books so much more and considering how amazing they are, that is saying something. Here are some things I loved about this book:* This book really filled in the "I wonder why's" of what those Oliver boys did. There were many times when I just shook my head at them and tried to figure out why Skyla was even interested in them, especially *cough* Logan.* This probably does not even need to be said, but here it is anyways : Those yummy Oliver boys. Seriously, who could get enough of their yumminess. The teasers on Addison's website where little itty bitty scenes were rewritten from their point of view were not enough.* Gage's visions: I thought I knew when some of Gage's visions had come to pass, but know that I have seen a bunch of them, I realize I know nothing. Seriously, it is seriously a whole different ballgame than I thought it was. Not only did I get to see somethings that I really wanted to "see" first hand ;) . * I may complain about it, but the fact that I no longer thing Logan is unworthy (ok, I had other choice words for him) is awesome. It makes me look forward to the next book even more than I was slated to be the top of my TBR the day it was released.* Addison did not hold back. They are teenage boys and as such think about things that girls might not and she let those things show. Ok, I will just say it. Those boys did not always think with the head on their shoulders. *Even though this is a retelling, I never once felt like I was hearing the same story, different day. It was new and fresh and fun.*There is something about Addison's writing style that just connects with me. Her use of language has me constantly using my highlight feature because I want to be able to find and reread those moments. There are very few authors whose voice touches me this way.This book is amazing, covered with spectacular sauce, sprinkled with some genius and topped with wonderful. This is definitely mature YA, because let's be honest, teenage boys can be perves. If you have read and enjoyed any of this series, this book should definitely be on your TBR.
review 2: 3.5 Stars!This is one of those series that I truly love to hate. It has all the classic drama that usually makes me roll my eyes, a love triangle (okay maybe even more than a triangle at this point), teenage angst, the mean girls and the typical pretty popular girl that strings the two really great guys along and sometimes seems to toy with them. I know, I know. You are thinking, why in the world do you read this stuff, but for whatever reason, this series has sucked me in. Maybe it is the great characters, because even though they are the “typical insert whatever here” they are still fantastic. Or maybe I love the angel storyline, which okay, still doesn't make sense because most angel books and I just don't get along. I don't know. Maybe it is Moore's ability to tell a story and make the unbelievable believable. Either way, here I was super excited at the thought of reading the first book in the series Ethereal through the point of view of the two hunky Oliver boys. I mean, have you seen Logan and Gage? What's not to love about them?So, even though I had a million other books to read before this one, I made the time and read this one anyways. I couldn't help it. After all the teasers Moore posted on her blog I was dying to read this and get an inside look into what makes the Oliver boys tick. Plus okay, I wanted more of two of my favorite boys. You know, the ones I love to hate. Wait, actually I don't hate them. It is Skyla that I usually love to hate. Anyhoo, I definitely got that inside look and wow! I have to say, I love them even more now.I love that Moore listened to her fans and gave them exactly what they wanted when she created this. I can only hope that there will be many more to come because I would love more. My only disappointment was that I thought I would love Gage more after reading this and honestly, I didn't. In fact, I think maybe I loved Logan more and I really didn't want that because I am team Gage all the way. Dang Moore and her writing!This really was a great addition to the series and like I mentioned above, one I hope we get more of. less
