After reading and loving Reign the Earth last year, which focused on female strength against domestic abuse, I was heavily anticipating Imprison the Sky as a follow up. Upon picking it up however, I found it was a very different story to Reign the Earth, both in tone and subject matter – and I definitely preferred the former. It’s […]
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 […]
I have a penchant for devouring YA thrillers, so when I heard about the mystery behind The Leaving, I had to pick it up. Five teenagers get dropped off home with no knowledge for the past 11 years. They have procedural memory, but they have no memory of their relationships with each other, or what they’ve done […]
The Bone Season is one of my favourite fantasy series, and I cannot wait until The Song Rising is released! With thanks to Bloomsbury Australia, I’m sharing with you the prelude to The Song Rising, which is released on March 7, 2017. I want it now! Prelude 2 November, 2059 The lights scalded my borrowed eyes. I was still […]
Star Struck, the fourth book in Jenny McLachlan’s companion series, is a very fast-paced and easy contemporary read. If you’re looking for something quick to read, with some good character development, you should check out these companion novels. I’ve previously read Sunkissed (The Ladybirds #3) and also enjoyed the character development and female friendships in […]
This rant contains spoilers for the first book. I never thought I’d say this about a Sarah J. Maas book – but A Court of Mist and Fury really pissed me off. I knew it was going to be a Feyre/Rhysand book going in, but unfortunately, the book ended up pissing me off in a multitude […]
This book contains spoilers for the previous books. It’s like I’m always fated to dislike the end of trilogies, no matter what goes down and how perfectly it ends. That’s what happened with The Winner’s Kiss – while I liked the last 150 pages or so, the rest of the book was a total, cliched drag which […]
Today I am launching the blog tour for The Mime Order, which is now out on paperback! I’ve just started reading The Mime Order and it is fantastic – it really builds upon the world set in Bone Season on voyants, an alternate London ruled by Mime-Lords and the unusual Rephaites wanting to take over. I’ll be […]
This Aussie YA read is a mix between psychological thriller and dystopian, and I’m glad I ended up sticking through the series with Reckoning. Pan has learnt to harness her abilities for the greater good, convincing the student body that they need to escape. She really grows in her confidence and her ability to convince people, and I liked […]
