by Emily A. Duncan DISCLAIMER: It has come to my attention since posting this blog that this author has been identified as problematic. After doing my own research, that you can find as a report here, I have come to the same conclusion. Rather than take down this review, which I don’t believe adds anyContinue reading “Ruthless Gods”

Wicked As You Wish
Wicked As You Wish by Rin Chupeco book review
The Starless Sea
by Erin Morgenstern Much like in my review of The Night Circus, I didn’t really know what to expect from The Starless Sea except that everyone was obsessed and excited for it. And, again, I expected it to grip me because a lot of people said they liked The Starless Sea better than The NightContinue reading “The Starless Sea”
Queen of Nothing
The Folk of the Air, Book #3, by Holly Black This was a big 2019 release for many people [it was overshadowed for me by the release of DarkDawn, but I hadn’t gotten into The Folk of the Air series until not long before the release of The Queen of Nothing], so I had highContinue reading “Queen of Nothing”
Obsidio
The Illuminae Files, Book #3, by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman And now for the conclusion to this crazy-awesome trilogy, Obsidio! I never, ever expected to read a YA sci-fi book that was based in an enemy/war-occupational setting, but HOLY CRAP, it’s so well done! Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman have managed to capture elementsContinue reading “Obsidio”
Gemina
The Illuminae Files, Book #2, by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman Gemina was a must-read-immediately following Illuminae. The format of Illuminae is consistent throughout the series, so Gemina is no different. [Do I even need to post my recommendation again? I will: “If you’re looking for a new YA sci-fi series that pushes the envelopeContinue reading “Gemina”
Illuminae
The Illuminae Files, Book #1, by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman So, Illuminae had been sitting on my shelf and TBR list for awhile. I had heard wonderful things about it, but I hadn’t been able to make time to pick it up. After DarkDawn and a few other post-Nevernight-Chronicles-destruction reads, I decided to giveContinue reading “Illuminae”
The Night Circus
by Erin Morgenstern I really don’t know what I expected from The Night Circus. Everyone seemed to love it and was obsessed with it, so I guess I expected a book that would grip me, either from the beginning or once I got into it, and make me not want to put it down. ItContinue reading “The Night Circus”
A Heart So Fierce And Broken
by Brigid Kemmerer I had to immediately pick up this sequel, and I’m so, so glad I waited to read A Curse So Dark And Lonely until I had my hands on A Heart So Fierce And Broken because – what an ending! As always, the first part will be spoiler free, aside from whatContinue reading “A Heart So Fierce And Broken”
A Curse So Dark And Lonely
by Brigid Kemmerer I expected a typical, but modern, twist on Beauty and the Beast for this book. Everyone who read it before me insisted it wasn’t, but I was very, very skeptical. Beauty and the Beast is a special story for me, and I think that makes it take a lot to surprise -andContinue reading “A Curse So Dark And Lonely”
