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”
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”
The Gilded Wolves Review
Not going to lie, this book took me a second to truly get into. Could be because I read it following Crescent City, which I still have not recovered from. Once I finally did get into it, I enjoyed the unique story it brought to life and the political undertone that it had. The storyContinue reading “The Gilded Wolves Review”
