For those who don’t follow me on instagram, this past year I started doing some Pro vs Con style mini reviews. They’re quick and easy to write and read, so I thought I’d try posting them here too and see how they go on an actual blog. The Good Things The writing is beautiful. I […]
Note: This is the sequel and conclusion to Ignite the Stars, which you can find my glowing review over here. This review will have slight spoilers!

Fun, fascinated, and a fan of adventure: all words to describe the Lady Rogue of this book, Theodora. She’s the daughter of the first woman archaeologist to graduate from a university in Romania, as well as the grand, larger-than-life explorer, Richard Fox.
