• R.F. Kuang’s The Burning God Ripped My Heart Out

  This militaristic political fantasy has run laps over my heart, giving it such pleasure with the rich description and detail of the story world, characters, and action, while also pummelling it to pieces because of said description, characters, and action. The Burning God is the third tier and the cherry on the top of the…

• The Perfect Small Town Romance is Emily Henry’s Funny Story

  Funny Story by Emily Henry meets my approval, in case anyone was waiting for me to say it. The short of it – it’s great, you’ll love it. The long of it, well, it’s a good thing I have a whole review to fit it all in because there are so many things I love…

• Things We Hide From The Light – Trauma and Vulnerability in Romance

  Lucy Score’s second book in the Knockemout series, Things We Hide From The Light, touches on the raw and vulnerable aspects of relationships – the slow opening up after years of taking romance casually, the sensitivity toward trauma and how that can forg relationships in its own way, and the pure want to have someone…

• My Brain Hurts After Reading Janice Hallett’s The Examiner

  I’m in shock after reading Janice Hallett’s The Examiner, in part due of how creative and immersive it is and in part because of all the layers and how they culminate in a wild, tension-filled conclusion. I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up this dark academia crime novel, but it certainly wasn’t…

• Insightful Self-Discovery Romance in Hannah Bonam-Young’s Out of the Woods

  I love a good romance that can touch the reader even when the circumstances are not the same. What’s more, I love a good romance that showcases the good, the bad, and the ugly of relationships, especially marriage. Out of the Woods by Hannah Bonam-Young does just that, and even if I did read this…

• The Beginning of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher Novels Falls Flat

  At last, I have begun the full-length novels in the Witcher series, starting with The Blood of Elves. I admit, I am a little disappointed with the shift in energy and grit this novel has taken from the short stories The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. While the short stories held a lot of…

• Nerds in Love in Shameez Patel’s Playing Flirty

  It’s about time that I picked up a romance featuring board game rivals who tread the line of love and hate and Shameez Patel’s Playing Flirty is all that and more. We have a best friend’s brother trope, as well as the sunshine-grumpy trope to an extent, but overall it is just too adorable and…

• Horrifying Literary Fiction in Han Kang’s The Vegetarian

  Han Kang’s literary prowess has been a point of interest of mine for the last few months, with Humans Acts and The White Book coming across my recent reads and now The Vegetarian making it to the list. The Vegetarian, like her other works, is not a light-hearted story, nor is it a simple read.…

• More Sci-Fi Magnificence in Artificial Condition by Martha Wells

  Artificial Condition by Martha Wells, the second instalment in The Murderbot Diaries, is just as humorous, emotional, relatable, and incredible as All Systems Red. The more I read this series, the more I love Martha Wells and her glorious brain, but the more I also find my appreciation for sci-fi growing. It has a dark…
