YA Review: Siren’s Fury by Mary Weber

There’s nothing better to me than a high fantasy. Very rarely do they ever fall short in my eyes, and I assume that’s because a publisher can usually pick out the good from the bad pretty easily when deciding whether to publish. So what makes a good high fantasy? World-building: a book in this genre […]

Review: Inheritance by Chris..

Review: Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

So here we are, the final book. All three previous books are leading up to an culminating in this big, green monstrosity. And yes, it is huge. Sometimes I wonder if this book really needs to be as massive as it is. One of the biggest criticisms of this book that I had heard in […]

YA Review: The Evolution of Mara Dyer

Why did I ever wait to read this series? With each book I read in this series I fall deeper in love with its characters.  That’s pretty funny considering this book was once on my “probably-never-going-to-read” list. Yes, I came very close to missing out on the conundrum that is Mara Dyer. And now I […]

DNF Review: The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh

DNF- 189 Pages   Boring. If I had to pick one word to describe this book it would be boring. I made it to nearly 200 pages, twice the time I usually give a book before I throw in the towel. Admittedly, part of this may just be mood related. With some stuff going on […]

YA Review: Cruel Crown by Victoria Aveyard

If you knew me when Red Queen came out you probably saw me freaking out about how much I enjoyed it. Ever since I’ve been obsessed with the idea of book two. Thankfully to tide us over until then, Harper has released a couple of novella. First came Queen’s Song, which I immediately got on […]
