When we think about the challenges that we face as women today, including inequality, misogyny and the gender-pay gap, it’s easy to forget how far we’ve come throughout history. Covering three different women in different historical eras, Liberty reminds us of the sheer strength of female power when fighting odds that are against them – and […]
I came into My Plain Jane with super high expectations, as I adored its predecessor My Lady Jane (which you can find my review here!). Keep in mind that these books are not connected at all, except through the focus of a woman named “Jane” and the authors writing it. You don’t need to read […]
Check out Aila’s review on Stalking Jack the Ripper, the first book in this series! You know when you delve into a series and you just know that it’s going to be for you? That was Stalking Jack the Ripper and Hunting Prince Dracula for me. Hunting Prince Dracula has really advanced when it comes to the writing and […]
This book was by no means bad. The writing was totally riveting, the first person POV narrative from Jinghua was intriguing, and the research is really well-done. Like, I read 15% into the book and have to commend the author on her knowledge about the Song/Yuan dynasty, and her placement of the Chinese songs and […]
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 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 […]
Note: This is the companion sequel to Vengeance Road, where you can find my review here. This review will not contain any spoilers. Also: There is graphic violence and deaths in this book. Please be aware! I really enjoyed Vengeance Road years ago and thought that the Western setting was refreshing and incredibly immersive. While […]
Triumphant, emotional, and fully exploring the courageous feats of female pilots during WWII in the Soviet Union, Among the Red Stars is a great historical read to pick up. I have to admit, some parts of the plot were bogged down by how it was executed, making the overall action scenes a bit underwhelming. Instead […]
Note: This is the sequel to The Girl From Everywhere and will contain minor spoilers for the first book. You can find my rap review here and Jeann’s mini-review here. This sequel was really quick-paced and covered a lot more ground than the first book. I really loved The Girl From Everywhere and this one […]
