A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

I received an e-copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence my review. After reading fangirly tweets and praise about A Darker Shade of Magic, I knew I had to pick it up. The author still refers to this book as “PIRATES, THIEVES, AND SADIST KINGS” and if that doesn’t sound appealing, I […]

Inked by Eric Smith

Inked by Eric Smith

I received an e-copy of this book from the publisher. This does not influence my review. When I heard about Inked, I was really intrigued. Unfortunately, that intrigue did not keep me reading until the end. Don’t get me wrong, I tried. I really really did. I read until 80% in, and after a week of […]

The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

I received a copy of this book at BEA 2014, this does not effect the contents of my review.  As a huge fan of Holly Black, I was super excited to read her new novel. The Darkest Part of the Forest is an interesting and intriguing novel full of awesome world-building. But that’s about all I […]

The Jewel by Amy Ewing

The Jewel by Amy Ewing

This was one of my most anticipated books from BEA and I am so sad about how it turned out. I remember seeing the cover for The Jewel for the 1st time on Tea Time and getting really excited and now, I’m just disappointed. The basic premise of this book is pretty simple. People of nobility […]

Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis

Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis

When I first heard about Otherbound,  I knew I had to request it. A LGBT book with awesome fantasy elements? Sign me up! Nolan, our main character, is a teenager who enters the mind of Amara, a young servant in a mythical land, every time he closes his eyes. Of course, Amara slowly figures out what is happening […]

Midnight Thief by Livia Blackburne

Midnight Thief by Livia Blackburne

Funny story, I didn’t plan on reading The Midnight Thief so early. And by early I mean in May (with it being released in July and all that jazz) but my “lovely” friends Crystal and Jenna basically MADE ME! And you know what? After all their taunting and pushing and talk about the book I […]

Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop

Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop

  Yeah this was pretty much me the entire 354 pages of Murder of Crows. AKA one of the best fantasy books I’ve ever read. And yes I know how dramatic that sounds but I sincerely mean every bit of that. Murder of Crows starts off just a few months after Written in Red, and things are slowly […]

Beast. Elektra. Hawkwoman. Picture them standing in the middle of your street. Now imagine them taking their various powers and destroying everything you’ve ever […]
