Guys, this book had everything a true fantasy novel needs: magical world, kingdoms and errant princes, and a good mystery. I certainly would recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy. I wouldn’t necessarily describe it as an “omg you have to read this book” type of story, but it had a solid plot nonetheless. ToContinue reading “Onyx and Ivory: A Solid Fantasy Read for a Rainy Day”

Ruin and Rising: A Ruin of My Expectations
Well. I’m feeling… irked. Honestly, this series didn’t live up to the expectations I had after finishing the first book. If you want to see the visual definition of a “bummer”, go read my very first review of Shadow and Bone… and watch my hope for this series get crushed. I’m still glad that IContinue reading “Ruin and Rising: A Ruin of My Expectations”
Siege and Storm: Lukewarm At Best
Hmmmmmmm… head full, many thoughts. I once again read through Siege and Storm with the same manic ferocity as I did with Shadow and Bone, and I can assure you I’ve already begun Ruin and Rising… though I can’t quite put my finger on what is exactly pulling me into this series. I felt likeContinue reading “Siege and Storm: Lukewarm At Best”
Shadow and Bone Review: Getting into the Grishaverse
Wow, was this a fast read. Maybe I’ve become a little too acclimated to large books, but I felt like I flew through this one. The intriguing characters and the breakneck plot definitely helped keep me on my toes. I have to say, the Six of Crows duology was my first dip into the Grishaverse…Continue reading “Shadow and Bone Review: Getting into the Grishaverse”
Children of Virtue and Vengeance Review
I don’t know if I’ve ever been more saddened and frustrated while reading a book. Maybe saddened isn’t the right word to describe my feelings… melancholy might be better. Children of Virtue and Vengeance was a rough ride for each and every character; it felt like they would finally reach a breakthrough in their fightContinue reading “Children of Virtue and Vengeance Review”
Rhapsodic Review
Hmmmmmmm. While this book was a decent light read, I’m not particularly fond of it… so buckle up for a tough review (to clarify: this isn’t a bad book, just one that I personally wasn’t a fan of. In fact, it was very quick and easy to read… almost too easy if you know whatContinue reading “Rhapsodic Review”
We Hunt the Flame Review
A Hunter? Check. An Assassin? Check. Sandy desert fight scenes? Check. A band of misfits, a race to find a mysterious magical book that could bring back magic to a corrupt and dark world, and incredible character development? CHECK, CHECK, CHECK. If you can’t tell, I loved this book. The descriptions were vivid and reallyContinue reading “We Hunt the Flame Review”
A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
Also known as: a kingdom of so much stuff happened in this book that I can’t even begin to dive into it all. Whoa… It’s been a minute since I last posted, but it really feels like it’s been ages. I don’t know about you guys, but I couldn’t get a single thing done lastContinue reading “A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire”
Ninth House: the Perfect Thriller
Happy Halloween! I figured I’d talk about a thriller in honor of one of my favorite holidays. Let me tell you guys, this book was ADDICTIVE. Definitely gave me all the spooky vibes going into Halloween, and it wasn’t just the occult fascination that kept me going (p.s. how wicked is the cover). I lovedContinue reading “Ninth House: the Perfect Thriller”
Kingsbane: A Disappointment
I really wanted to like this series. I heard so many good things about it, and I thought the plot could be very good. After finishing Furyborn, I had my doubts but I was ultimately curious to see where the story would go. Kingsbane was hard for me to finish, and I found myself almostContinue reading “Kingsbane: A Disappointment”
