Book Review: Black Dagger Brotherhood (#11 - #12)

"Long Live The King"

OMG! Finally! After half a year waiting, I finally finished The King book of Black Dagger Brotherhood series!!! I am in euphoria. In heaven. On cloud nine. Over the moon. I mean like, that is the sweetest ending EVER!! (Oh and, SPOILERS ALERT!)

         Okay, before that, let's talk about the eleventh book first. Lover At Last (#11). This book is about Qhuinn and Blay. Qhuinn impregnated Chosen Layla in Lover Reborn (#10) and in here, Layla is expecting a child. And Phury, the Primale of the Chosen, was umm... furious when he heard the news. The thing was, although both of them expecting a child on the way, they were platonic with each other. Like very platonic. However, I'm not touching that part of the story yet. At first, I thought that maybe Qhuinn will not end up with Blay and maybe moved on with Layla since they were expecting a child. BUT NO!

         There was BLness in this book, people. Freaking BL! For someone who breathed on BLness a year ago, I found it a little disturbing when I read homosexuality in books like this. I dunno where things changed or since when BUT I am a strict straight girl now. Homosexuality didn't bring me the same exhilaration like it did a year ago. Man, things have changed so much since then. I realized that I like heterosexual men only these days. No more BL. Not that I grow sick of them, it's just that the spark when I read same-sex-love didn't seem appealing to me anymore. I guess I move on from that phase.

        At the end, I gave the story a 3 star out of 5 since it was an enjoyable read.

        Okay, NOW PEOPLE! Let's talk about Wrath, son of Wrath. OH EM GEE!!! Wrath, I freaking miss you!!!

         Okay okay.. Be rational, Lils. The King is the story of Wrath and Beth, the couple from the first book of Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Dark Lover (#1). In this entire series, Wrath and Beth is my favourite couple of all (next favourite couple is Vishous and Jane). I love them so much in this book. Gosh, they are the perfect couple EVER!

         However, you know, there is one thing that extremely ticks me off about THE KING book. There were too many of side characters' stories in this book. I meant no harm but I wanted to read Wrath and Beth's story. Not these side characters. All in all, I think only a quarter of this book was dedicated to the pairing. Other stories were non-consequential to the pairing. So, I don't get why JR Ward put so many extra stories when this book is supposed to be about Wrath and Beth.


        Anyhow, I still love Wrath and Beth's story. They are the best couple EVER! (Did I say that already?) Oh and, the cover is FREAKING GORGEOUS!

        In this book, it was about Beth undergone her needing (her fertility period) and later she got pregnant with Little Wrath. Wrath was pretty mad at first since he really didn't want a child and Beth, on the other hand, was adamant about having one. But later, life threw them the curve ball which was Beth was already pregnant before her needing started. My favourite scene in this book is when Wrath found out he was going to have a son. Oh gosh, I can help but think that he was so cute. He was extremely excited about the baby.
“A soooooooooooooooooooooon! I'm having a sooooooooooooooooooooooooon!” - Wrath, The King.
        I was grinning like a lunatic all those times. My next favourite scene was Wrath and Beth had their human marriage and Lassiter dressed up in an Elvis suit. It was freaking hilarious! Best wedding ever!
“Okay, so, Beth, follow me. 'I, Beth, a totally awesome chick ...'"
Beth barked out a giggle. "I, Beth ..."
"Where's the 'awesome chick' part? What? Come on, I have a license from the Internet. I know what I'm doing."
Wrath nodded at his leehan. "He's right. You are, in fact, awesome. I think we need to hear it."
"Can I get an amen!" Lassiter shouted.
"Ammmmmmmmmen!" echoed throughout the mansion.
"Fine, fine, fine," she said. "I, Beth, a totally awesome chick ..."
"'... take this meathead, Wrath ...'"
"... take this meathead, Wrath ..."
"'... as my husband to have and to hold from this day forward...” - The King.
         And there was this short sweet scene between Wrath and his son that I also love.
“I’m going to give you everything I can,” Wrath said gruffly, glad no one else was around. “Anything you need, I shall provide. And I’m going to love you until my last dying breath.” - The King.
          Overall, I gave this story a 5 star although there were some annoying stones and sticks along the proverbial road when I read this book that sometimes irked me and bored me to death. But the moments between Wrath and Beth worth all the troubles. Now, I can finally rest in peace (well, actually not yet. Not until Fifty Shades comes out next year).

         Anyhow, that is all that I could share this time. I need to get on my reading wagon after this. Bye!

Satisfied and In Peace,
Liely

Shopping Trip: Part Two

I just got back from another shopping trip of mine. This time, I went to buy some pens and my school bag. I just realized that this would be my last school shopping because next year I would be in my last form. I had no idea what to do next. I'm reconsidering to take Form Six somehow. Hmmm... Faber Castell pens         Anyway I bought a lot of pens. I love pen. It is my favourite thing to buy whenever I went into a shop. If I'm not mistaken, I bought 21 pens and one mechanical pencil. I feel satisfied! My favourite pencil brand is Faber Castell. I've used it since I was very young. My first story, ' Fairies and Warriors' was written by that pencil back in 2005. I want to keep using it until I'm dead tired of it!          Actually, that is not my real attention when I start to write this post. I'm actually want to talk about MANGA (what else?). When I was roaming the mall alone, I encountered a secluded section where there was many MA...

Nodame Cantabile: First Impression

Yes. That's what I'm reading right now. Nodame Cantabile had been in my wish list for more than a year before I decided to read the manga (though I did watch some of its anime). But, to compare the manga and anime, I think the anime deserves it better. Why? Because when I'm reading the manga, I can never know the sound of Mozart's, Beethoven, nor Liszt. But I do appreciate the humour. In fact, I love the humour. Nodame and her Ship-wrecked Home          Before that, let me tell you a little bit about Nodame Cantabile . It is a story about a girl named Noda Megumi a.k.a. Nodame that is a quirky character. She's very good in playing the piano (but she can't read the notes). Her house was like a shipwrecked and she loves to eat. Next door, there was a handsome guy (Chiaki) who also went to the same music academy as she did. Due to a fateful coincidence, they managed to become a good friend, except for Nodame's straightforward confession to him where Chia...

First Week In KMM

Hi there, peeps! I'm back from Kolej Matrikulasi Melaka (KMM) after a torturous week of orientation. (well, it's not that torturous, I'm just exaggerating.) You know, on the very first day of orientation week, everything was still seemed so unreal to me. I can't grasp the idea that I will be living on my own and there would be no more television or lying on my bed while reading books on my mobile. It wasn't until the second day that I suddenly felt homesick. Anyway, I'll get back on that later. In the car, on the way to KMM.         On the very first day, we went to KMM around 10 in the morning and the traffic was horrible. There were so~ many people there. Oh well, everyone from the whole peninsular Malaysia went there, so of course, there were thousands of people.           The registration process went kinda well. There wasn't any big trouble on the way. My family left me there around 3 in the evening. By the way, my dorm block i...
