There’s honestly so much that happens in this book that I have to kind of summarize in this review, so bear with me if you’re willing to stick with an in-depth review. (There may be slight spoilers, but just enough to give readers an idea of really what’s going, because there’s just SO MUCH to […]
The thing with the fantasy genre is that it’s hard to make a plot that has been written millions of times before unique. Onyx and Ivory has great writing, pretty swell characters, and a decent setting, but its major drawback was how predictable the plot was. It follows many traits of the numerous fantasies I’ve […]
I’ve heard nothing but great things about this book, so obviously I had to pick it up the moment it came out! To Kill A Kingdom really holds up to its promises – a dark atmosphere, heartless heroine, and swoon-worthy slow-burn romance. I enjoyed the book from beginning to end, and it’s awesome to hear […]
I was beyond prepared for this book, from its dazzling cover to the tremendous praise it got from well-known authors. While I really enjoyed Sky in the Deep, it reads more of a lighter YA fantasy than anything. It’s very easy to get swept up with the characters’ emotions, and the heavy focus on family […]
Hero at the Fall is the sequel to Rebel of the Sands and Traitor to the Throne. This review may contain minor spoilers for the previous books. You know that feeling when you get to the end of a really fantastic series, and you’re just basking in a warm glow afterwards? That’s me right now […]
THIS. BOOK. Has left me raw. Gutted. It’s been a while since a sci-fi set in space has dug its way into my heart like that. Honestly though, I’m extremely weak to family settings on a spacecraft and romances that make my chest burn and nonstop action. IT JUST HAD ALL MY WEAKNESSES, OKAY? I […]
I enjoyed Ink, Iron, and Glass! It comes off as a bit of a quieter historical fantasy, but it promises nonstop adventure and a cast of delightful characters that work together to pretty much save the world. The setting was pretty extraordinary: we’re looking at the Victorian era of Italy, around the late 1800’s, where […]
We’re so used to seeing Batman as an adult, fighting crime from behind the shadows of Gotham City. That’s why I was so excited to read Batman: Nightwalker, that follows Bruce Wayne as an 18 year old teenager. As this is an origin story, we don’t see the caped crusader at all in this book, or his […]
Note: The author has content warning posted on her Tumblr, which you can find here. Mask of Shadows contains violence, abuse, PTSD, displacement, misgendering, and self-harm. Please be aware of this before reading! After searching relentlessly for a fantasy that would capture my attention from beginning to end, I finally found it in Mask of […]
