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!) […]
This is one of those kinds of books that I enjoy while reading, but forget about entirely in a short amount of time. It’s not a story that will stick with me. I liked the way all three women’s stories tied together, as well as the history of the Weyward women and the magic they possessed. The connections were the driving point for this book, because there really wasn’t much else going on plot-wise. This book is more or less […]
TW: Rape and sexual assault, child molestation, physical abuse I’m not gonna lie, I probably never would have picked this up if my book twin Christy hadn’t recommended it. That cover is awful, sorry. But I’m glad I did give it a try! This book had some major A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder vibes, which is the kind of mystery I’ve been after ever since I read it. It even featured the same narrator, Bailey Carr (who is fantastic, […]
This book was SO BLAND. There was really nothing special about the writing or the characters. The concept was interesting, and was about the only thing this book really had going for it. But honestly? It just felt like a straight rip off of Darkest Minds. An adult version, and not nearly as good of one. The characters are all flat with no personality to speak of, and I didn’t care about any of them or anything that was happening. Color […]
Okay, so this book took me foreeeever. I started this behemoth September 20th. Didn’t finish until November freaking 22nd. TWO. MONTHS. To be fair, I was planning my wedding and was balls deep in wedding stuff (which was November 6th, and my glorious husband messaged Jay about it and he actually recorded a “happy marriage” video for me *insert squealing, puppy eyes, and tears*) so I didn’t have much time to read. Plus, this book is HEAVY. It probably took […]
CAUTION: SPOILERS FOR GODSGRAVE I am the war you cannot win. Holy SHIT. I basically sobbed through the last like quarter of this book, heh. This book wrecked my feels! Jay, you’ve done it yet again!! We all knew going in that Mia was going to die in the end. However, we didn’t know the deets, and I’m quite happy with how everything played out. It was bittersweet! “You kiss like you kill, Mia Corvere.” “And how’s that?” “With finesse.” […]
