This review does not contain spoilers for Crooked Kingdom (but does for Six of Crows). I’m the worst at writing reviews for books I absolutely LOVED, they just end up being a fangirling mess, so here we go again. Crooked Kingdom is the best book I’ve read this year, if not ever. I delved into […]
I picked this one up mostly because the cover drew my eye like a moth to flame. Plus, fantasy. Anyways, the purple/blue color scheme features my favorite colors of all time, and the mentions of all these different fairy tales lumped together sounded like a fun ride. Although Kingdom of Ash and Briars was extremely […]
Emerging from my Empire of Storms slumber, I rise and attempt to tell you my jumbled thoughts about it. I’m constantly in awe of this expansive fantasy world that Sarah J Maas has created, filled with wyverns, magic, fae lords, witches, pirate lords, hidden armies and evil. Following multiple characters across Erilea, we see witches fighting for their […]
You know that blissful, happy feeling after you’ve finished an awesome book and you have no words to describe it? That’s me right now. I got so absorbed in Nevernight I forgot how to review. That’s why I put together this list to tell you what I loved about it! Also everyone loves lists right? #helpful 1. School of Witchcraft […]
Newt’s Emerald was nothing like what I expected from Garth Nix. It’s a charming and fun Regency romance with a sprinkle (or two) of magic. What I loved most about this book was the great balance between romance, mystery and adventure. This story is about Lady Truthful Newington who finds herself the victim of a theft when […]
Like most readers, I’ve been highly anticipating Harry Potter and the Cursed Child since I first heard that the script was going to be released in book form. But I actually knew nothing about the plot going into the story and I think that worked in my favour. I had very few expectations and I […]
Two enchanting opponents, each with their unique powers pitted against a stunning Russian backdrop – what’s not to love about The Crown’s Game? Apparently a lot, judging from my initial comedown after finishing the book. There was a lot I did enjoy about the book – the interactions between Nikolai and Vika, historical look at Saint Petersburg and Russian royalty, […]
Snow Like Ashes started out on rough footing for me. It took me a while to warm to Meira, due to her immaturity and rash decision-making. There was also the love triangle which it launches into straight away, with Meira having unrequited feelings for her best friend and future Winterian King, and then becoming betrothed […]
I’m not entirely sure what happened here, but Glass Sword felt very different to Red Queen. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a lot of angst in the romance and it still feels like it’s based off Xmen, Hunger Games and Red Rising. While Red Queen built up to it’s peak and had some great twists in the end, Glass Sword was just long-winded and […]
