After Cerulean Sea, I would have picked this up regardless (even though I wasn’t a huge fan of Under the Whispering Door); but at YALLfest I saw him on a panel where he talked about the book and said it had a sentient Roomba with anxiety. And I KNEW I needed it asap! Said Roomba and the other sidekick robot, Nurse Ratched, were by far my favorite part about this book! Rambo the vacuum was adorably anxious and needy, which […]
I expected so, so much more from this. Here I am again, the black sheep – the ratings for this book on Goodreads are fantastic (seriously, WHERE are the 1 and 2 star reviews?!), and with it being a space book? I was sure I’d love it. Womp, womp. I remember exactly nothing about the plot or what happened in this book. I remember that the writing was super bland and the story was generic AF, like a million other […]
Disclaimer: I don’t usually swear in my reviews, but there’s some colorful language in this one. Welp, there’s a reason this took me three whole years to pick up. I just want to say: I despise when a series is “finished” and the author writes another book for it years down the road. They are always, always terrible, in my opinion. I cannot think of one single series where I haven’t hated it. (*side eyeing you, Tahereh Mafi*) To me […]
This is a hard book to review for me. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this book, because overall it was just okay. The concept was really cool, but nothing about it really stood out for me and it was a pretty mediocre space opera. I think a lot of people will love this, but for someone who reads a lot of science fiction it might feel a bit generic. The main thing I have to comment […]
This book was quite a letdown for me. Not to say it was bad, but I think maybe my expectations were just too sky high going in. It was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Thankfully my library had the audiobook on Libby, so I didn’t waste any money/Audible credits on this book. It started off fairly strong. I love space books and stories set on other planets, so I was interested in the beginning. Sadly, my interest waned more […]
I am SO. SAD. that I didn’t love this one. I adored Gilded Ones, and the sequel was a highly anticipated release. However, it had a raging case of Second Book Syndrome and left me feeling extremely disappointed. I never really got into the story or the world like I did in the first book (and both of those aspects were fantastic in the first book) and felt pretty disconnected overall. It didn’t leave much of an impression on me. […]
