I’m giving this five stars even though I didn’t love it as much as The Dead Romantics because I do love Ashley Poston, there was absolutely nothing wrong with this book and many, many things that were very good. However I think that the reason I didn’t love it as much as The Dead Romantics […]
The thing about this book, about a girl who is sick of people being sexually assaulted by their peers, is that the main character was already super-capable before the book even started. And because of that, she reminded me too much of other super-capable (read: boring) heroines like Celeana Sardothian, so tough that no one […]
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 […]
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’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 never before in my life skipped parts of a book and still finished. This book was such a conundrum! The good parts were enjoyable, but I literally skipped some boring parts and didn’t miss anything. There were a lot of points of view in this novel. And I mean, like, the blurb doesn’t […]
This book is about a young girl discovering her power when she breaks the rules to ‘get back’ at bullies. The story is about a 14 year old Canadian girl Stevie from a ‘broken’ home – her dad left when she was 12, although sometimes the timelines and flashbacks will have you guessing about the […]
If you’ve read and enjoyed Maria Snyder’s books before, then I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy Defending the Galaxy. There’s an excellent recap at the start of the book, so although you might want to re-read the first two books if you’ve left some time between this one, you absolutely do not have to. It has […]
To be completely honest with you (and that’s the only way to be when writing a book review), I requested this book for review from Netgalley because I mistook the author for someone else: someone whose books I had previously enjoyed and whose other books were on my to-read list. I was so wrong. I’ve […]
Chasing the Shadows is Book #2 in the Sentinels of the Galaxy series by Maria V Snyder. I’ll be honest, the first part of the novel was kind of hard for me to get in to. There was an overhanging threat over everyone’s heads, but it wasn’t immediate enough to be particularly concerned for Lyra […]
