So you’re probably thinking, “Another rebellion, Aila?! When will you get over these things.” The answer is: NEVER. I love revolution, innovation, and movements. I love seeing changes and the way small feats can make grand progress. In the midst of all these magical rebellions and ending the ways of a social hierarchy, what makes […]
While I thoroughly enjoyed the first book to this series of interconnected books, The Shadow Queen, I adored this one even more! You don’t see many retellings of Rumpelstiltskin, and Redwine really adds great dimension and twists to the characters and plot, making for an exciting read despite the familiar story. I’ve been loving this […]
While this book was a fun, magical ride, it also didn’t really impress me that much. The premise is super unique, as the main character Amy discovers that she can jump into the stories of books, and her family has a duty to preserve those stories. The setting is on a picturesque island, away from […]

The novel begins when our main character, Autumn, is locked inside her local library after using the bathroom. Her belongings and […]

Caraval is every bit as spellbinding as is advertised […]
You know what’s worse than intense dislike for a book? Intense apathy. I’m a weak reader for rebels and revolution, but unfortunately Gilded Cage fall under the “miss” category for me. With all those high ratings and wonderful feedback, I hope my review will share a bit of information that you won’t find in the […]
Pandemonium, that’s what. Mimosa has grown up surrounded by plants and aromas – basic components of aromateurs, who use their heightened sense of smell to direct the way of people falling in love. However, with that power comes rules that Mim will see inevitably broken throughout the course of this book. From the very beginning, […]
