Book Review:The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa
Let me start off by saying that I didn’t love The Immortal Rules (TIR). I thought it was entertaining enough to finish, but the second half of that book pretty much sucked and relied on a bunch of played-out tropes. What I did like about TIR was Kanin. I love a dark, mysterious character that doesn’t have to try too hard. I thought everything that had to do with Kanin in book 1 was intriguing. I spent the rest of that book chasing the feelings I got from the first half. My excitement for The Eternity Cure was a continuation of that chase and was based on the fact that I knew Allie was going looking for Kanin. I had hoped that this sequel would have that dark quality of TIR’s first half and in some places, it did, but it was not nearly enough to make up for all the lusterless parts.

What exactly is a limited company?
A limited company is a legal business structure that is formed and registered with Companies House, the Registrar of Companies in the United Kingdom. When a business is formed through Companies House, it legally becomes an individual. As a result, because it is accountable for its own activities, finances, and responsibilities, a limited corporation is a wholly independent individual from its owners.
