I just wanted to say straight up that I read Warrior of the Wild over a year ago. This review is based on the notes I made while I read it, but I do admit my memory is foggy… The Good Things I will admit that I bought this at least partially for the gorgeous cover […]
Do you ever just sit there in a daze after finishing the last pages of a book, in complete awe? That was me with The City We Became. I read a lot of books, but truth be told, not many leave a lasting impact like this one. N.K. Jemisin is renowned for the Broken Earth trilogy – […]
I don’t know about you, but I’m slightly scared of hyped books in fear of it not meeting my expectations. As far as hyped books go, House of Earth & Blood is definitely one of them! The size of it was also daunting, at over 800 pages, it better be good. So it took me […]
I’ve been looking forward to a new book from Marie Rutkoski for a long time and I have some mixed feelings about The Midnight Lie. It’s set in Herrath, an island that sits in the same world as The Winner’s Trilogy and, while I loved being back in the same world and hearing mentions of some of the […]
This review may contain spoilers for other books in the Shadowhunter Chronicles, especially The Infernal Devices. Chain of Gold is the book I have been waiting years for.

Dark and Deepest Red is a magical realism story inspired by Hans Christian Anderson’s The Red Shoes and the dancing plague of 1518 in Strasbourg. Like all of Anna-Marie McLemore’s books, it’s beautifully written and incorporates elements of magical realism that makes it really delightful to read. It’s a story about embracing who you are and your […]
Darkdawn is the 3rd book in the Nevernight Chronicle. This is a spoiler free review. It’s not everyday when you go into the last book in a series knowing how it is going to end. The first few lines of Nevernight tell you that Mia is going to die, which was teased by Jay Kristoff […]
As someone who enjoyed The Night Circus, with its enchanting imagery and whimsical storytelling, I was excited about The Starless Sea, particularly after reading the intriguing synopsis. It sounded completely magical as an ode to storytelling and the tales that are told, with a labyrinth filled with secrets. Sadly, the reading experience didn’t quite match up […]
