The Good Things YA fantasy/ post-apocalyptic novel that’s been on my TBR pile for years. I’m glad I finally read it. Loved the blend of genres. There were parts that felt more post-apocalyptic, some high fantasy elements, and others urban fantasy. The main character has time magic! I really enjoyed the brief tournament and hidden […]
This review may contain spoilers for the rest of the Arc of the Scythe series. Read reviews here for Scythe and Thunderhead. It’s always satisfying and slightly terrifying delving into a series ender, especially one that I’ve loved as much as the rest of the Arc of the Scythe series. But when The Toll turned up on my doorstep, […]
What an unexpected surprise! I was completely hooked from beginning to end with Hive, as we find out about the cult-like world that Hayley lives in. It starts with a bee going where it shouldn’t, a drip from the ceiling and secrets that shouldn’t be told, and from there, Hayley’s life is thrown into turmoil. […]
My abeulo says that there are people who belong to the earth, and others, like us Martinezes, belong to the sky. The Last 8 is a dazzling, sky-soaring debut from Laura Pohl. Featuring a Latina main character who is bisexual and aromatic (like me!!), it promises a fast-paced, stand-alone sci-fi adventure where eight teens are […]
This review contains minor reviews for Scythe (the first book in the series). Check out my review for Scythe here, if you haven’t read it. I didn’t realise how much I had missed this world under I picked up Thunderhead, which definitely doesn’t disappoint as a sequel to Scythe, one of my favourite books of 2017. Thunderhead delves […]

Government has disbanded, with governance that is left to a higher being called the Thunderhead. This world has become dull and lifeless, because no one can […]
Only countries destroy other countries. Only selfishness breeds selfish actions. Without nationhood, there is no war. Without nationhood, there is only peace. Unity in all things; humanity above monstrous division. Step into a dazzling, yet conflicting world where war propaganda runs rampant, and the Eastern Asian countries have come together to form a Neo Alliance […]
Apparently this book has been optioned for film, which I believe is a waste of time after finishing it. The Sandcastle Empire unfortunately rubbed me in all the wrong ways, and I wouldn’t really recommend it to readers looking for something with substance. The only thing it has going is the story of survival and […]
You know what’s worse than intense dislike for a book? Intense apathy. I’m a weak reader for rebels and revolution, but unfortunately Gilded Cage fall under the “miss” category for me. With all those high ratings and wonderful feedback, I hope my review will share a bit of information that you won’t find in the […]
