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 […]

I am Ilsaletta Redtide. My father is Admiral Redtide of the Kingdom of Cragspear. I will not die as a mouse in the darkness. This book started off STRONG! In the beginning, I was hooked. It was also very quotable – I highlighted so many passages! But sadly, by the end I had very mixed feelings about it because it went downhill in the last half. The main thing that I enjoyed about this book was the concept. It was […]

Mini Reviews: Coven, Serpent & Wings of Night

I had really high hopes for this book. (Also, that cover is STUNNING!!) While it didn’t quite live up to my expectations, I did still enjoy it for the most part. The world was interesting – I liked the dark academia setting and the structure of the society. However, I didn’t care a whole lot for the romance. (And I say romance loosely; it’s not romantic at all, it’s purely sexual.) I’m usually a hardcore fan of morally grey MMCs, […]

Mini Audio Reviews: What Lies in the Woods, Flicker in the Dark

This was an atmospheric and entertaining read! I don’t have much to say about it other than I enjoyed it. The narration was really good – I found the narrator to be engaging and she did a great job bringing the story to life. The air of mystery kept me invested, and there were plenty of twists along the way to keep me on my toes. I like that things were revealed slowly, giving just enough to keep you intrigued […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Sea of Tranquility, Outsider, Book Thief

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 15, 2023 | 0 Comments

Won’t most of us die in fairly unclimactic ways, our passing unremarked by almost everyone, our deaths becoming plot points in the narrative around us? I don’t have a whole lot to say about this book, but between FANTASTIC narration and one of the single most mind blowing twists I’ve ever read, I really enjoyed it! It reminded me a lot of Cloud Atlas, spanning multiple stories across multiple timelines that all interconnect and come together in the end in […]

Audiobook Review: The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence

I had really high hopes for this one, but in the end I think my expectations were just too high. The ratings for this book are crazy high, and I was hoping to be blown away. Sadly, I felt pretty ‘meh’ about this book. I wanted SO badly to love this book. Baa, baa, black sheep. The concept is where this book really shines. It’s SO cool! The premise is wholly unique, and the atmosphere is inviting and uncanny. It’s […]
