I adored this author’s debut, BEYOND A DARKENED SHORE. It caught me by surprise with how much I enjoyed it, and it’s a story I would reread time and time again. Because of that, I was quite excited about this companion sequel, THROUGH THE WHITE WOOD. However, I suppose my expectations were too high with […]
What a stunning fantasy debut! Seriously fantasy readers, you better have this book on your radar. The Girl King reveals a stimulating plot full of betrayal and sacrifices as characters fight their way to the top. Among the ensemble of casts is Lu, Min, and Nokhai. All three of them have very distinct POV’s that […]
Hey y’all! I’m happy to be talking about some underrated gems that I read last year. (By underrated, I mean they don’t deserve enough word-of-mouth love.) Sorry it’s a little late too haha – I’ve been super busy with life! College has been really straining but I hope to be more active this semester! This […]
This is my first Julie Kagawa book (I know – a shame considering how popular her Iron Fey series was when I was in middle school!), but certainly not my last. Shadow of the Fox is an own voices story set in feudal Japan where demons called youkai roam the land and a treasured scroll […]
Get ready for an incredible adventure and determined heroine that is unputdownable from start to finish! Fire and Heist places magical beings such as wizards and were-dragons – or wyverns – in our currently time today. The catch? No one really knows their secrets, not even Sky, whose family used to be on the council […]
Note: This is the sequel and conclusion to a duology, which you can find my review of the first book here. This review will contain minor spoilers! After reading and really enjoying Rosemarked by Livia Blackburne, I was super ready for Umbertouched! I couldn’t wait to dive back into Dineas and Zivah’s world and the […]
What happens when you get a fantasy story that’s bogged down with lore and plot elements and explanations? Well… Shimmer and Burn happens. And honestly, it’s a decent book. The world-building is quite descriptive, and the plot twists will keep readers on their toes. But maybe it’s the writing and me that just didn’t agree (or […]
Beautiful cover, and beautiful stories to match the outside! I really enjoyed Unbroken: 13 Stories Starring Disabled Teens. While all the authors are disabled, I’m not 100% sure their characters follow the exact disability. Either way, I love the intersections of the characters and the vast range of writing styles. They’re all written with care […]
Wow, this book… it was deliciously dark. Schaeffer brings readers into a tantalizing world where supernatural beings called unnaturals roam the earth and are mistrusted by the rest of the humans. Some of them are benign, such as fluffy dacts that are kept as pets, while some are dangerous, such as unicorns that suck the […]
