Finishing my Reread of A Court of Wings and Ruin
At last, I have finished reading the A Court of Thorns and Roses trilogy. A Court of Thorns and Roses set up the fantasy world and introduced us to one side of the coin, A Court of Mist and Fury showed us the other side of the coin alongside another batch of characters and how…

Carrie Soto is Back Revived My Love For Tennis
This is my first Taylor Jenkins Reid book and I can happily say that I really enjoyed it. She has a keen focus on her subject matter and does the research needed to ensure she gets the authentic, appropriate language and understanding required for such a story as Carrie Soto is Back. Not a lot…

I Understand The Hype Around A Court of Mist and Fury Now
I remembered this book differently. Not to say that my opinion has shifted all that much. The aspects that I have detected and delved deeper into that didn’t catch my eye before replace the mistaken points that made up my initial assessment of Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Mist and Fury. I have discovered…

My Objective Review of A Court of Thorns and Roses
I promise I will be as objective as possible in this review. I have seen and heard of a lot of reviews on all points in the spectrum when it comes to A Court of Thorns and Roses. A lot, in all honesty, are subjective and opinionated even when they claim to be factual. You…

Divine Rivals is a Dream of a Read
I know, given how popular this book is on social media platforms, that you’ve heard all about it. You probably have had this on your TBR since the first week it popped up. I won’t take up too much of your time, but perhaps I can give you a dose of realism to take onboard…

What Makes The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue A Fan Favourite?
I was always unsure about how The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab got so much praise and was on every girl’s favourites list several years back (and even still to this day). My first read of it ended in a sentiment that it wasn’t anything special, that people may have overhyped it,…

My Thoughts on Bunny
If you’re looking for a full review, I’m sorry but this isn’t that. I wish I could provide a more in-depth review of Mona Awad’s Bunny but it didn’t quite match my expectations and while it was fun for a little bit, my preferences and specified taste in tropes and themes clashed with those found…

My Dark Naturalism Dream – One Dark Window
I seem to have found the trustworthy side of TikTok when it comes to recommendations because One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig is another popular TikTok book that I wasn’t expecting to love as much as I do. I’ve grown to take all recommendations with a grain of salt and given that romantasy has become…

The Finale I Couldn’t Finish
They say every story has a beginning, a middle, an almost-ending and the true ending. It sucks that I couldn’t even get through the middle to see how this magical world’s almost-ending or true ending panned out. Stephanie Garber’s Finale comes with a lot of threads to tie together and balls to juggle but unfortunately…

Legendary – This Book Makes Me Mad
So I finished my reread of Stephanie Garber’s Legendary, the second book in the Caraval trilogy, and I genuinely feel angry. Here is why. Warning: spoilers ahead, read at your own risk. The quality of the writing is so much better in Legendary than it was in Caraval. There was something lacking about Scarlett’s perspective,…
