A Court of Frost and Starlight is my Breaking Point
This book is the one that solidified my stance on the ACOTAR series. A Court of Frost and Starlight is the novella set after the war and as novellas are, it is a short read. Unfortunately, there are several issues such as word choice, poor sentence structure and repetition of detail and phrases that makes…

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…

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…

The Penultimate Nail-biter City of Lost Souls
It’s funny the things you remember as you’re reading something. Cassandra Clare’s City of Lost Souls, for example, is a book that was a little murky for me except for two crystal clear snippets in my mind and oh were they just as punchy as the first time. I love the relationship shifts in this…

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 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…

City of Fallen Angels is a Wild Ride
There are things I absolutely love about this books and then there’s Jace. References and relationships that made my heart flutter and then there’s Jace. Killer plot devices and action sequences. And then there’s Jace. Let me start by saying it’s not as serious of a hate as I’m painting it out to be. Jace…

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…
