The Good Things YA fantasy/ post-apocalyptic novel that’s been on my TBR pile for years. I’m glad I finally read it. Loved the blend of genres. There were parts that felt more post-apocalyptic, some high fantasy elements, and others urban fantasy. The main character has time magic! I really enjoyed the brief tournament and hidden […]
The Good Things This book pleasantly surprised me! I thought I would find it mediocre (not sure why) but it was SO GOOD!! It helped pull me out of a mild depressed slump. YA post-apocalyptic standalone from an Aussie author! There is a really strong sense of suspense! The entire book is a race against […]
This review may contain spoilers for the rest of the Arc of the Scythe series. Read reviews here for Scythe and Thunderhead. It’s always satisfying and slightly terrifying delving into a series ender, especially one that I’ve loved as much as the rest of the Arc of the Scythe series.

Government has disbanded, with governance that is left to a higher being called the Thunderhead. This world has become dull and lifeless, because no one can […]
You know when you finish a book and it leaves you without an impression? That’s how I feel about The 5th Wave. It was actually quite a long and convoluted book, with many varying points of views (some completely unnecessary and which did not impact the story at all). But upon finishing, I didn’t get the answers […]
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 […]
