I love The Lunar Chronicles and I love food, so I was pretty excited to read Heartless. Going into the book, it’s best to detach yourself from the Lunar Chronicles, because it’s more of a straight retelling of Alice in Wonderland than a story that’s inspired by fairy tales. From the Mad Hatter’s tea party, to the invisible Chesire […]
I’m so glad I decided to pick this book up! The plot really kept me on my toes, and the characters were such a delight to read about. For me, the characters of a story are what makes or breaks the book, and the ones in this book were just fantabulous. Written in alternating first […]
This review does not contain spoilers for Crooked Kingdom (but does for Six of Crows). I’m the worst at writing reviews for books I absolutely LOVED, they just end up being a fangirling mess, so here we go again. Crooked Kingdom is the best book I’ve read this year, if not ever. I delved into […]
If you think you’ve read all the stories featuring kids with magical powers, think again. The haunting, secret world in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, the peculiar children’s abilities, the creepy photographs, time travel and a character with a strong bond with his grandfather tells a unique and wonderfully whimsical story. At it’s foundation, this is a story of […]
Emerging from my Empire of Storms slumber, I rise and attempt to tell you my jumbled thoughts about it. I’m constantly in awe of this expansive fantasy world that Sarah J Maas has created, filled with wyverns, magic, fae lords, witches, pirate lords, hidden armies and evil. Following multiple characters across Erilea, we see witches fighting for their […]

That’s why I put together this list to tell you what I loved about it! Also everyone loves lists right? #helpful 1. School of Witchcraft […]
After the striking cliffhanger of Court of Fives, I was very excited to start this sequel! I thought it was definitely an underrated fantasy published last year that more readers should check out. We start immediately after when the first book ended, and readers are instantly thrown into the midst of plotting and schemes throughout the […]
Two enchanting opponents, each with their unique powers pitted against a stunning Russian backdrop – what’s not to love about The Crown’s Game? Apparently a lot, judging from my initial comedown after finishing the book. There was a lot I did enjoy about the book – the interactions between Nikolai and Vika, historical look at Saint Petersburg and Russian royalty, […]
