Holy. SHIT. Dude. This book. This is the kind of story I dream of finding every time I open a new book (and rarely find). This book GRABBED me from the very first page and never let go! I was hopelessly hooked, and I knew in the first handful of pages that this was going to be a 5 star read for me as well as a new favorite. And I was sooo not wrong! I fucking LOVED every single […]
This was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! I wanted SO badly to get on the Illumicrate sub for this book, but I was on the waitlist for months and missed it (I missed Song of Silver, too *cries*). Then, after it was released, I had a hard time getting my hands on it. There’s no audio available in the US (which is odd)… I guess it doesn’t release here until September. There’s no ebook, either (also not out […]
I had pretty mixed feelings about this book. Overall, I really enjoyed it. It had very strong Red Rising vibes, but was still totally unique in its own way. Fair warning: this book is heavy. It’s full of racism and misogyny and is quite brutal. I went back and forth between “yeah, this is awesome!!” to “ehh maybe it’s a little over the top” with both the brutality of the book and Kenna’s personality. I like dark and brutal, but there […]
I didn’t love this as much as I thought I was going to. I adored Squirrelflight’s Hope, even though I don’t usually care for side stories when I already know the outcome, so I was really hoping to love this one too. I mean, Firestar is an old fave and will always be special, so I was looking forward to being back in his head for a bit. And I did enjoy it, but it was extreeemely slow paced. Almost […]
Wow, this book was so powerful! It takes a hard look at the relationships between women – at the empowerment of sisterhood, but also at the power that women have to tear each other down (and how patriarchy pits us against one another). That we are stronger together instead of against one another. It’s been a while since I read a dystopian I enjoyed this much! It had a very Lord of the Flies feel when we were seeing the […]
This story was BEAUTIFUL!! This is probably one of the most unique books I’ve read in some time. I absolutely loved the world – I wanted to crawl into the pages and live there, it’s so magical! The cover is stunning and the story inside absolutely matches the cover. The fast pacing makes this book a quick and easy read, and the enchanting quality of the story keeps you turning pages. I gobbled this story up! You don’t know very […]
