Filled with political intrigue, morally grey characters and lots of yearning, He Who Drowned the World offered a fantastic follow up to the first book. As a gender queer retelling of the Ming Dynasty’s ruler, there’s enough twists and turns here as the three main characters vy for the throne. The three characters are Zhu, […]
In the Atlas Six series, you’ve got 6 powerful magicians with the ability to not only take over the universe, but to form and shape new worlds. In the Atlas Six, we met them. In The Atlas Paradox, we got to know them deeper along with the caretaker. In Atlas Complex, we see their end […]
After the disappointment that was Blood & Honey, where did we go wrong with this series? I truly had higher expectations for this one, given how long, draggy and unnecessary many of the plot points where in Blood & Honey. Except for the last few chapters and the epilogue, Gods & Monsters was a mess […]
Being the huge Grisha fan that I am, Rule of Wolves was one of my most highly anticipated reads of this year. Nina and Nikolai are my favourite characters from the series, and following their perspectives and seeing what they’re up to is always a delight. While I know some people had their reservations about King […]

Legendborn was legit one of the BEST books I’ve read all year!!! It’s a pretty wild mash up, you’ve got Mortal Instruments meets King Arthur, Black girl magic, trauma and grief set in college…. BUT STAY WITH ME it was done SOOOO well and everything was explored in-depth as well! I had goosebumps when I […]
I’m so glad I finally read this one after hearing mixed reviews initially! It does flip everything that we know on its head, as it mainly follows Grey, the Guard Captain and Lia Mara, an older princess from Syhl Shallow. While I was a bit disappointed that we weren’t going to see much of Harper […]
I absolutely loved the hate to love romance in Serpent & Dove last year, especially the memorable characters and the witchy atmosphere within it. Blood & Honey was one of my most anticipated reads this year, how does it stack up as a sequel? Before diving into Blood & Honey, I read the official recap for the first […]
