I kept hearing about this book over and over, and even though this isn’t my typical genre (I am a SFF girlie, through and through lol), I wanted to know what the fuss was about. I was on the fence going into this, and trying to keep my expectations low, because let’s face it – BookTok has let me down before (side eyeing you, Quicksilver). Surprisingly, this one worked for me! I’m quite shocked I enjoyed it, lmao. Not gonna […]
This book is rather hard for me to review, because my feelings about it are so hot and cold that I have trouble pinning down exactly how I felt about it. In the first half, I was hooked. I absolutely LOVED the world and mythology! It had strong Inuyasha vibes, and I was intrigued. I also really loved the idea of the immortality trial. However, right around the halfway mark, it started losing me. I began to get frustrated and […]
This is rather hard for me to review, as I had mixed feelings about it. I absolutely LOVED Karen’s Fever series – namely, books 1-5. After that, the series kind of lost me. I mostly enjoyed books 6-8, but they started to feel a little monotonous and I never continued past that. I enjoyed most of the Highlander series, too, although Immortal Highlander is my favorite far above all the rest (ADAM BLACK!!). So, when I saw that she was […]
I had pretty mixed feelings on this book. While I did enjoy it overall, there were some things that seriously bugged me. I’ll start with the good first. The concept is fantastic! I loved the idea of a bookstore – possibly the last bookstore – being open during the apocalypse, trading goods for books. Because even in the apocalypse, literature is relevant. Also, there’s something about a post-apocalyptic book that I just love. I don’t know why; I wouldn’t want to […]
Oh look, yet another wildly popular book that I didn’t enjoy. Baa. Not to say it was all terrible. There were some things I liked: namely, Father/Samson and the Wildfolk. I thought the magic/lore side of the story was really cool, and I enjoyed those parts. However, I wasn’t a huge fan of Abitha’s parts. Or Abitha’s character. Actually, I found all the characters to be rather flat, and didn’t connect with any of them. Not to mention there were […]
A HUGE thank you to St. Martin’s Press for sending me an early copy of the book! “Sunset waits for no saint, and the Dead run quick.” I. JUST. WOW, YA’LL. I daresay Damned was even better than Empire. This book rocked my fuckin’ socks off! Something I adore about Jay Kristoff is that he is a PRO at middle books. No second book syndrome here! (Actually, I think the second book has been my favorite in all of his trilogies!) […]
