Dorothy Must Die Series Rant Review

Sigh...this is a review that I feel I have to do but one I really don't want to do. I really wanted to love this series, because I enjoyed the first book so much. If you want to hear all my positive thoughts for the first book, check out my book review on it that …

Book Review: Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

I've talked about in the past how much of a sucker I am for classic retellings. So when I saw this for $1 at my local book thrift store, I had to pick it up. I mean, it's a dark retelling of The Wizard of Oz, which I grew up with in both book and …

Book Review: Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

This is the second book of the Grisha Trilogy, and I recommend you read my review for the first book before you read this one. Even if I had mixed feelings about the first book, I am determined to finish this series. And this one, while it was hardly perfect, did fix some of the …

Book Review: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

I'm pretty sure I'm one of the last people to read this book, with how big this series has been over the last few years. It's especially gotten bigger this year with the announcement of it being adapted into a TV series on Netflix, coming in April. In said April I will be forced to …

Book Review: A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown (an unpopular opinion)

Look at me, finally reviewing a book which isn't a classic. I'm so proud of myself. Anyways, I picked this book up for two reasons. One, I mean, look at the gorgeous cover. I admit it, I'm a sucker for beautiful covers. Second, because this is a fantasy book based around West African folklore. I …

Book Review: Seven Deadly Shadows by Courtney Alameda and Valynne E. Maetani

This is the first YA book I have read in a long time (at least a couple months). I have forgotten, honestly, the common tropes and style of writing found in young adult fantasy. But I picked this one up mostly because it is filled with Japanese mythology and I love learning about mythology in …

Reading Wrap-up: November, 2019

This month I read 12 books, which isn't horrible, but I also was still finishing a lot of books for October I got for Halloween and didn't have time to finish. So this month felt like I read a mix of Halloween and Christmas-themed books, with some YA fantasy and non-fiction thrown into there. Very …

Book Review: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

This is the first book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and a series I've been wanting to read for years. So many people have compared it to the Harry Potter series, which is one of my favorite book series of all time, and yet I never read it growing up. I suppose …

Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

It seems like a long time since I read a YA fantasy, and even longer since I actually liked one. Going into this book, I basically knew only two things about it: first, it is about a heist and, second, it's set in the same universe as Bardugo's other series Shadow and Bone, which I …
