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 […]
Being the huge Grisha fan that I am, Rule of Wolves was one of my most highly anticipated reads of this year. Nina and Nikolai are my favourite characters from the series, and following their perspectives and seeing what they’re up to is always a delight. While I know some people had their reservations about King […]
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 […]
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 […]
Legendborn was legit one of the BEST books I’ve read all year!!! It’s a pretty wild mash up, you’ve got Mortal Instruments meets King Arthur, Black girl magic, trauma and grief set in college…. BUT STAY WITH ME it was done SOOOO well and everything was explored in-depth as well! I had goosebumps when I […]
I’m so glad I finally read this one after hearing mixed reviews initially! It does flip everything that we know on its head, as it mainly follows Grey, the Guard Captain and Lia Mara, an older princess from Syhl Shallow. While I was a bit disappointed that we weren’t going to see much of Harper […]
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 […]
A Deadly Education was one of my most highly anticipated reads, being a huge fan of Naomi Novik’s other works, but I was incredibly wary after some early controversy about the text. Featuring a dark magic school filled with witty characters, is this book going to be the next Harry Potter? Or is it going to offer […]
Aurora Burning is the 2nd book in the Aurora Cycle series. Check out the review on Aurora Rising (the first book in the series) here. I loved the first book in the series, so I’m completely torn about my feelings on Aurora Burning! So did I love it or not? My feelings on Aurora Burning are completely […]
