Top Ten Tuesday: Gorgeous Covers With Equally Gorgeous Stories Inside

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on January 28, 2020 | 4 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl We all know the feeling of being tricked by a gorgeous cover. You crack the book open only to find that the story inside does not match the outside. False advertisement much?! But every once in a while, you discover one that actually lives up to the stunning cover because it’s just as beautiful on the inside as it is out! Apparently I like purple or dark covers lmao. All of […]

Fear is part of life; all that matters is what we do with it. Murderous mermaids, sea monsters, and swashbuckling, oh my! This book was pitched as Caraval meets Throne of Glass, but it was literally nothing like them other than having magic in my opinion. It felt a lot like To Kill a Kingdom to me! I loved the magic system! And also the backstory. The lies and mystery and secrets connected to the kingdom and its magic were […]

Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson

Holy crap, no second book syndrome here! It’s very rare that I love a sequel almost as much as the first book, but this one really delivered. I highly suggest reading this book BEFORE reading my review – going in, you know basically nothing about the plot because the synopsis doesn’t give you much. It’s so hard to talk about this book without giving anything away! So if you want to go in blind and be surprised like I was […]

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

If you know me, you know I am a HUGE sucker for Asian Fantasy. Especially if it’s Japanese. And there’s so few of them! This had everything I love about Japanese fantasy – oni, yokai, kitsune, miko, Shinto shrines, and plenty of glorious Japanese culture. (Which I am positively obsessed with.) That was definitely my favorite part of this book! It was super easy to picture everything – you know how some books tell you they’re in a certain country/place, […]
