After hearing all the raves on The Wrath and the Dawn, I wanted to love it so much. But why do I have to overthink things? Why can’t I just enjoy a story for what it is? There were so many things that irked me about this book. Let’s start with the good bit. The sumptuous, atmospheric Arabian nights […]
For a book about assassins, I would’ve expected more assassinating. Set in a fervently religious world where killing each other is normal, Assassin’s Heart featured more telling than showing. The world in Assassin’s Heart made no sense to me whatsoever. Built upon a world with nine families worshipping a death god, the Saldana family are the most powerful and […]
Burning Midnight gave me fond memories of Pokemon, with people trying to find the rarest spheres and collecting them. The coloured spheres have different abilities that get progressively cooler depending on how rare they are. Want to become better looking, improve your hearing, get a higher IQ or my favourite – read faster? There’s a sphere for everything. The […]
How can I possibly write a review that does justice to this book? It was, simply put, absolutely epic. It also seems to be a hit-or-miss book. I’ve read reviews where people DNF Sword and Verse, and reviews where they were quite “meh” with it. I’m totally on the opposite spectrum: I pretty much loved […]
Set in the Grisha universe where magic and science mesh upon a rich fantasy world, Six of Crows is an impossible heist story that brings together a colourful cast of unlikely criminals. From nonstop action, to fantastic dialogue and characters, to a well constructed world, Six of Crows ticks all the boxes. Not being entirely familiar with the Grisha […]
The Cracks in the Kingdom was a fun sequel to A Corner of White. The book picks up where the first book left off and we get a glimpse of what the missing Royal family has been doing for the past year. Meanwhile, the last remaining member of the Royal family, Princess Ko, must try […]
A Corner of White is a great blend of the contemporary and fantasy genres. The book reads like a contemporary novel but is set partially in a fantasy world. In this novel, we follow two teenagers and their coming of age stories. Both Madeleine and Elliot are going through a tough time. Elliot’s father has been […]
So we all have so many feels from reading Carry On that we all just need to share them! #SnowBaz is seriously the cutest couple that we’ve met in a while and we all loved them. Our first discussion was so much fun! I hope you enjoy it – contains spoilers for Carry On. On […]
I love the blend of witches and alternate dimensions in this series, but Firewalker wasn’t as good as the first book. A few scenes had me suspending my disbelief and the whole book lacked emotional connection. Connecting to the main character is a major part of enjoying a book, and even in the second book, I still […]
