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 […]
Full disclosure: I almost didn’t read this. The first time I picked it up I was bored out of my mind with the politics and I DNFed it. It took me years, but I finally decided to give it another shot! I think listening to the audio really helped, honestly. It was much easier to get through this time around! It was still pretty slow in the beginning, but the last half really picked up. And THAT ENDING!!! I never knew […]
This was such a cute and wholesome read! I wasn’t sure if I would like it, because it’s literally just about an orc opening a coffee shop, and that’s not much of a plot. Tbh it sounded kinda boring. BUT, it definitely wasn’t! It’s true that there’s really not much of a plot going on, because the focus is all on the characters. And in a character driven novel, good characterization is so important. Thankfully, Travis pulled it off beautifully! […]
Save the king, save the island. I’m actually quite shocked that I enjoyed this book! This was only the second reverse harem I’ve ever read in my life, lol. But I do think this was a good one for a beginner to the genre because it’s not in your face smutty (which I am not a fan of) and it’s still got a great story! This book was a very quick and easy (and fun!) read. There are no white […]
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 […]
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 […]
