I haven’t read the Captive Prince series, but I know a lot of fans are excited about this new series, so I was keen to give Dark Rise a shot due to its popularity. Dark vs light, ancient warriors, and old lords reincarnated into new people. Dark Rise is a classic YA fantasy that deals with all these […]
I’m going to call it now. I think Battle Royal is my favourite book of the year. I read it in practically one sitting and since finishing it a few weeks ago, I’ve been rereading bits of it ever since. And Lucy Parker is now firmly one of my favourite romance authors. I’ve also since read the […]
The Good things I was part of a Tandem Collective Global readalong for this book and I’m glad I was! It was a marvellous book and an interesting blend of sci fi and literary fiction. Really fascinating concept that kept me intrigued the entire way through. Each chapter felt like its own little short story, […]

A historical Chinese fantasy focusing on political warfare and intrigue, She Who Became The Sun was one of my most highly anticipated books of the year. Especially given it’s comparison to The Poppy War, which also happens to be one of my all time favourite books. So what is the book about? There are two distinct parts […]
The Good Things The final book in The Falconer trilogy, a fantastic upper YA/ New Adult historical fantasy series. Another book hangover for me, thanks Elizabeth May. I think I experienced every possible emotion reading this. Especially during the intense final chapters. I cried more than once. There was some interesting new lore and fae […]
Ever since I first heard about The Love Hypothesis early this year through Nick @ The Infinite Limits of Love, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for it to be released. The book follows Olive, who is a PhD candidate in biology, and Dr Adam Carlsen, an academic in her department, which got me super excited because […]
