This review may contain minor (unintentional) spoilers for the other Shadowhunter books. Proceed with caution! I swear Cassie Clare is trying to kill us all with anticipation! I thought the end of Chain of Gold was bad for my heart but that was nothing compared to the dread I feel when I think about the rest of […]
The Good Things Such a unique world! (The grimoires! The libraries! The magic! Famous swords and demons!) I loved all of it.

I think of An Enchantment of Ravens as a lighter version of Uprooted, which I was a SUPER fan of. Seriously, every time a […]
This book reads like a folktale, has a cover that is as beautiful as its writing, and has stuck with me long after reading it. Originally I thought The Beast is an Animal was a Beauty and the Beast retelling, but I was very wrong. It has to do more with delving into your soul […]
