The Finder of the Lucky Devil by Megan Mackie Review/No spoilers.


       The Finder of the Lucky Devil is a book by Megan Mackie that was released May, 29, 2017, and takes place in a futuristic society where magic and technology go hand in hand. It is the story of Rune who owns a bar called The Lucky Devil, and she is trying to find jobs to pay off mortgage. But, then she meets St. Benedict who wants to find someone, who is her.
       This book is very nice and would make a great series. This is a great introduction, and Rune is a good main character. She is rather easy to relate to, in my opinion, and she is in a tight spot. If you are someone who is having a bad time right now, she is a character that they need. I won't spoil her past, but you can learn everything you need in the Prologue, it is possibly the only prologue I actually read through and got me excited for the book.
       The next main character is St. Benedict. He is a sly person, who is considerable one of my favorite characters in the book. If people like characters who are completely honest. He will literally tell you that he will kill you. He is also kind of cybernetic, which adds to the future feel of the book. He just enters the scene meaning business. And, we only learn a few things about him in the book.
        Next, is the villains, which I just have to say meh. The lady, who I believe is never really named, is kind of terrifying. Another villain, mostly for St. Benedict, is another Saint, but let me tell you. This is just a title given to them to show they are high in what they do, they won't hesitate to murder you if you get in their way, if a saint in your opinion is someone who is pure, kind, and won't sin, then you are wrong.
       Another good thing with this book is that it sets up a universe. With fallen Faerie Courts, to learning of how they identify each other with technology. Showing both the use of technology and magic in the society.
       One of the low points, I suppose, is the villains, for some reason I wanted more from the lady, and more about her point of view, and more on the others.
        But, if you enjoy fantasy and (or) technology themed books. This is the one for. I rate it 9/10. It is a great read and I'll post a spoilers review later. Bye~

More Stuff for School Part something.

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place. And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love. Always choose love.”                   This was an excerpt from Daniel's Story , a book that my class is reading on the topic of the Holocaust, and this is the quote about love, something very dire and strict nowadays. A loving person can come in many forms or shapes, it can come in my imagination of someone who will listen, it can be a thought of love that has taken shape in your mind, and it can be all the other things that people may believe.                    What I am told to write about today is of someone in my life who has chosen love, whether they are in the movie or in real life. It will be hard to pick...

Well, this is a problem that I'd like to say. I'm sick.                               You would think that someone with an illness would be taken care of, yet I feel not being taken care of. I am stuck drinking evil medicine tea, headaches, and listening ...

My graduation speech

(I am about to graduate from middle school, and we got an assignment to post a speech on our blogs, so here!)             Here we are, getting ready to go to high school. We are all now looking behind in the past while still looking at the future. Planning on what we are going to do with our lives. But, I have just one message to tell you that involves to everyone in this room. Make something new. If this is the one thing that you remember about me, that would be great.            In this world that we are living in today, people tell us multiple times that we should get some sort of job that we hear constantly. When we ask their reasoning behind it, they say, "It has the best payment," or "You will have a good life." The people that want to have these jobs are excited to hear this, but the others? We should all know that we are not going to live forever that we are all going to die one day. There are two types of people, t...
