You know how some anthologies have hit or misses? In a mix of so many authors, there are bound to be better ones than others. This was not the case with this anthology. I can safely say that I loved all the short stories in A Thousand Beginnings and Endings. This anthology features 15 short […]
There’s honestly so much that happens in this book that I have to kind of summarize in this review, so bear with me if you’re willing to stick with an in-depth review. (There may be slight spoilers, but just enough to give readers an idea of really what’s going, because there’s just SO MUCH to […]
The thing with the fantasy genre is that it’s hard to make a plot that has been written millions of times before unique. Onyx and Ivory has great writing, pretty swell characters, and a decent setting, but its major drawback was how predictable the plot was. It follows many traits of the numerous fantasies I’ve […]
I’ve heard nothing but great things about this book, so obviously I had to pick it up the moment it came out! To Kill A Kingdom really holds up to its promises – a dark atmosphere, heartless heroine, and swoon-worthy slow-burn romance. I enjoyed the book from beginning to end, and it’s awesome to hear […]
I was beyond prepared for this book, from its dazzling cover to the tremendous praise it got from well-known authors. While I really enjoyed Sky in the Deep, it reads more of a lighter YA fantasy than anything. It’s very easy to get swept up with the characters’ emotions, and the heavy focus on family […]
I would described Emergency Contact as the “h” in the word “hipster.” It is a hit or miss book and I would only recommend it to a specific niche of readers. Emergency Contact isn’t a light, fluffy rom-com. There are pretty intense elements of the story that gives it an almost bittersweet vibe to it. […]
American Panda is a novel that I have been eagerly awaiting since I first saw the cover reveal and learned about the book. It’s about a Taiwanese girl, Mei, with huge pressure from her family to become a doctor and marry a high-achieving Chinese guy (preferably a doctor), despite the fact that Mei is afraid of […]
THIS. BOOK. Has left me raw. Gutted. It’s been a while since a sci-fi set in space has dug its way into my heart like that. Honestly though, I’m extremely weak to family settings on a spacecraft and romances that make my chest burn and nonstop action. IT JUST HAD ALL MY WEAKNESSES, OKAY? I […]
I enjoyed Ink, Iron, and Glass! It comes off as a bit of a quieter historical fantasy, but it promises nonstop adventure and a cast of delightful characters that work together to pretty much save the world. The setting was pretty extraordinary: we’re looking at the Victorian era of Italy, around the late 1800’s, where […]
