Having had The City of Brass on my radar ever since it’s release, I’ve attempted to read it previously on audiobook with no success. So when we picked it for The Name of the Book Club’s August book, I was keen on finally sitting down and reading this hyped book – especially after hearing it has […]
I’ve been meaning to read The Walled City for years now, especially because I loved Wolf by Wolf and Blood for Blood so incredibly much when I read them. I love Ryan Graudin’s interesting alternate history stories and the fast-paced and thrilling nature of her plots. And The Walled City definitely didn’t disappoint for me. The Walled City is set in a fictional world […]
The Good Things Solid ending to a good YA fantasy trilogy. The pace was slower in this one compared to the first two, but I don’t think that was detrimental. The plot in this one was more focused on negotiations and wrapping things up rather than endless action and espionage. Loved that Galo and Iria […]

This review may contain minor (unintentional) spoilers for the other Shadowhunter books. Proceed with caution! I swear Cassie Clare is trying to kill us all with anticipation! I thought the end of Chain of Gold was bad for my heart but that was nothing compared to the dread I feel when I think about the rest of […]
If you’re a regular around Happy Indulgence, you’ll know that I haven’t been the biggest fan of A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Here’s my famous review about why I didn’t really enjoy A Court of Mist and Fury. But I’d be damned if I didn’t pick up a new Sarah J Maas book, so […]
Woven in Moonlight was a book that I knew I had to read as soon as I read the synopsis and saw the beautiful cover. And even though it took me almost 6 months to pick it up after purchasing it, it was on my TBR every single month in the last half of 2020. And […]
