How We Fall Apart is a YA mystery thriller with Asian main characters, and I really enjoyed it! Set at an elite private school, it explores the immense pressure of academic performance on students, in particular Asian students. It touches on important themes such as friendship rivalry, classism and the illusion of being perfect, mental […]
The Good Things I knew I would enjoy this one. I’m glad it lived up to my expectations. Upper YA/ NA historical fantasy. Wrath is my favourite. His sarcasm and banter was beautiful. Slow-burn enemies-to-lovers who can’t help but antagonise each other as they work together. I loved the banter and tension. I appreciated the […]
The Good Things This book is SO GOOD. You all need to read it. I procrastinated uni assignments to binge read this in a single setting. And then I immediately ordered a physical copy and pre-ordered the sequel as soon as I finished it. Honestly, it was everything I wanted FBAA to be. Good writing, […]
The Good Things A reread for me! I first read this series when they were being released (starting back in 2011-ish). I’ve been filled with so much nostalgia rereading. I do recommend this if you enjoy steampunk! There are some really fun inventions in this one. And this was set in New York, which was […]
The Good Things This is such a fun YA historical fantasy series and a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde retelling (or at least a story inspired by it) It’s actually a reread for me! I first read The Girl in the Steel Corset back in 2011 when it was released. I’m rereading so I […]
The Good Things The final book in The Elementals Trilogy. I was so excited and terrified going into this. There were so many prophecies and predictions set in the earlier books that had yet to unfold. I was so scared for my favourite characters. The action gets going from the very first chapter! The story […]
This year has flown by so quickly for me, despite spending a good 5 months in hard lockdown. Thankfully it meant that I had a lot of time to read (and I actually did use the time to read, unlike last year). This year, I also managed to complete my Goodreads goal of 100 books […]
The Good Things: The second book in Sherry Thomas’s YA historical fantasy series, The Elemental Trilogy, and a fantastic sequel. There are so many things I want to gush about. What I’m most pleased about is the fact that The Perilous Sea actually did an amnesia plotline well! I’m usually frustrated when an amnesia trope […]
The Good Things The first book in a YA historical fantasy series and a reread for me! I first read this back in 2014. It’s filled with some of my favourite fantasy tropes: a chosen one/ prophecy, elemental magic, a big evil, a world with brewing rebellion, and characters in disguise. I loved the magical […]
