I have read the Shadow and Bone trilogy, the Six of Crows duology, and the King of Scars duology, and now it is time to review Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse as a whole. It has been some time since I last read the King of Scars duology, so I have not done a duology review for…

My Series Review of Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows Duology
Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows duology, including the powerhouses Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, are two of the most popular YA books of the last decade. You can’t go on fantasy Bookstagram or BookTok and not come across them at some point, whether they’re directly mentioned or prominently displayed on the shelves. Herein lies…

My Shadow and Bone Trilogy Review
Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone Trilogy is a YA staple for many, introducing the fantastical world of the Grisha, the small science, and the Darkling to its many readers. My recent reread of the trilogy has changed my opinion of the books, so here I will discuss the overall impact of the trilogy and my…

The Lies of Locke Lamora is High Fantasy Gold
Scott Lynch’s Gentleman Bastard Sequence is vivid, gripping and immersive, making for an incredibly detailed and compelling world. The Lies of Locke Lamora, the first in the trilogy, features an intriguing plot, an interesting and different narrative style, and characters that are complex and brimming with personality. I shouldn’t have expected anything less in an…

My Favourite Book Characters Part Three – The Tortured Souls
Tortured characters seem to be a soft spot for many readers, especially those who fall into the “I can fix them” category (we’ve all been there, haven’t we?). It shouldn’t be any surprise that I’ve compiled a short list of my favourite characters for this list. Ruby Daly, The Darkest Minds Ruby Daly is perhaps…
