I am so happy I got to finish 2021 with an amazing read. I was truly impressed with this book and I enjoyed every minute of it. I listened to it on audio and I was enjoying it so much that I went and bought a hard copy before I even finished the book, and […]
I feel like it’s been a while since the previous book in this series, but that’s incorrect. The previous book, The City of Zirdai, had its release date pushed back by a year because of the pandemic, but this book was released only 6 months after Book #2, which is awesome for me. I had […]
This review contains unmarked spoilers for the end of the book. I really enjoyed most of this book, right up until the ending. For the most part, I really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed the characterisation of our two leads, Revna and Linae: both of them absolutely furious at the world for the hypocrisy […]
I quite enjoyed A Dark and Starless Forest by Sarah Hollowell, who I followed on Twitter even before she announced her book deal. I was drawn to the concept of the creepy forest, and yes, to be honest I was also drawn to a book that dared to put a fat character front and centre, […]
I genuinely think it’s harder to write a 5 star review than it is to write a 1 star review. It’s hard to list what a book does so well when it does everything so well. I genuinely had no issues with this book at all and enjoyed every minute of it. This book is […]
Considering this was published in 2011, I’m surprised this is my first Victoria Schwab novel. What’s even weirder is that I tried so very hard to listen to this on audio but my god the narrator is so bad. She’s basically reading a list with no emotional input whatsoever. I was so frustrated listening that […]
I originally received this as an ARC that I was unable to read in 2020 due to nearly dying (my bad!). So this review is super late, however I did purchase my own physical copy. I loved how urban myths and old wives tales were woven so seamlessly into this alternate 1980s London. The worldbuilding […]
For the Wolf appears to be a Little Red Riding Hood retelling: the main character is called Red and she wears a red cloak, which is a point of interest on the cover. There’s a scary dark wood and a Big Bad Wolf. But don’t be fooled. This isn’t a cool interpretation of Little Red […]
I’m a little conflicting on how to review this book because on the one hand, I took literally forever to read it. It took me a month and a half, and I know that it’s not the book’s fault, despite it topping in at over 500 pages, because I was having a really hard time […]
I have a definite weakness, and it’s when gods appear in something akin to a human form and live among their subjects. It doesn’t matter whether you believe in them, because they’re real whether you have faith or not. It appeals to my atheist heart. So when this book was announced as Gladiator meets Avatar: […]
