Term One - Ms Gay's Reading Challenge - Response 5

Relic

Over the past few weeks, I've been reading Relic by Renee Collins. This could potentially be my last blog post on this book so if you want to find out the full story read it for yourself. Here are the main things that have happened in the story so far: I left the story off when Maggie jumped onto the carriage containing the Hacienda. The carriage almost arrived at the Hacienda's massive mansion but the security in the carriage noticed Maggie and pulled over. She was detained and put in a jail cell, she was treated very poorly (spat at, verbally abused, sexual jokes made etc.). The Hacienda arrived to visit Maggie and noticed what was happening. He fired his guards and allowed Maggie to stay at his to make up for what had happened, and Maggie told him about her sister. He got Ella to the mansion immediately and tried healing her (with the Unicorn relic), the Hacienda tried his hardest... but it didn't work, he gave it to Maggie to try and it worked! Ella was healed but she was still weak and needed to rest. I think this is a good place to and hopefully these blog posts have enticed you enough to read the book for yourself.

Relic

Over the past few weeks, I've been reading Relic by Renee Collins. Here are the main things that have happened in the story so far: I left the story off when Maggie checked Ella's pulse when she was attacked by two Rock-devils. The story picks up with Maggie racing Ella back to where they're staying (Maggie's old school). Maggie and Landon make it back and attempt to gather assistance/help immediately. Maggie knew who she needed, the man who offered her the job at the saloon was a very powerful, wealthy, generous man (he is a very rich Hacienda), and when they previously meet Maggie accidentally healed a wound with his very rare, expensive, powerful unicorn relic. But then she remembered that it was Yahn's hanging the same day as well. She decided to go to Yahn's hanging first. She notices the Hacienda out of the corner of her eye. She had to make a decision on who was more important, Yahn or Ella. She shed a tear and made her way to the Hacienda. He was just about to leave on his carriage. She chased him down and somehow jumped onto the carriage without anyone noticing. Read my next post to find out more.
