I was incredibly excited for Lease on Love and even preordered the novel. Sadly, there wasn’t much that I really liked about it… and I found the novel lacking in depth in every aspect. I thought Lease on Love would be right up my alley based on the synopsis but unfortunately, there really wasn’t very much plot for […]
After the disappointment that was Blood & Honey, where did we go wrong with this series? I truly had higher expectations for this one, given how long, draggy and unnecessary many of the plot points where in Blood & Honey. Except for the last few chapters and the epilogue, Gods & Monsters was a mess […]
I really really wanted to love Meet Cute Diary. I love meet cute stories and when I heard that the main character is mixed-race and transgender, I leapt at the chance to read this novel. Unfortunately, despite loving the fantastic exploration of gender and identity in this book, Noah, the main character, just irked me throughout the […]
I absolutely loved the hate to love romance in Serpent & Dove last year, especially the memorable characters and the witchy atmosphere within it. Blood & Honey was one of my most anticipated reads this year, how does it stack up as a sequel? Before diving into Blood & Honey, I read the official recap for the first […]
It’s been a few days since I’ve finished Infinity Son and let it sink in, and I’ve finally decided on my thoughts on it. There’s a lot to like about this book, but there’s also a lot that I didn’t really like. Which is really disappointing, because I have loved Adam Silvera’s other books. But […]
As someone who enjoyed The Night Circus, with its enchanting imagery and whimsical storytelling, I was excited about The Starless Sea, particularly after reading the intriguing synopsis. It sounded completely magical as an ode to storytelling and the tales that are told, with a labyrinth filled with secrets. Sadly, the reading experience didn’t quite match up […]
As someone who loves fantasy and diverse reads, the premise of Nocturna really interested me: a Latinx inspired world, a faceless thief and a prince with dark magic. I was definitely intrigued and really keen to pick this up for The Name of the Book club. The beginning of the book starts with a bang, […]
If you were drawn by the cover of this title, DON’T FALL FOR THE TRAP. Seriously, I love a good rebellion story and a beautiful crown on the cover. But Ash Princess did not deliver on many of its promised components, and I ultimately found it a very boring read. I feel like the book […]
Disclaimer: If you like Kingdom of Ash I definitely don’t hold it against you, but these thoughts are mine and mine alone and not everyone can like the same books, which is why this community is amazing. I hope you’ll be able to read this with an open mind and not hold it against me for […]
