Review: Unearthed by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
The bulk of Unearthed was only so-so for me, which was pretty disappointing given how much I lusted after this book at BookExpo. I did like both of the main characters, so that was a plus. I didn’t love the romance though. I think because […]
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black — I’m so glad I stuck around for this one!
I was a bit worried when I first started The Cruel Prince. Its depiction of fae being dark and twisted isn’t my favourite. It’s Wonderland-esque. I prefer “light”, principled, honour-bound fae.
Review: The Sea King (Weathermages of Mystral #2) by C.L. Wilson
I really enjoyed The Sea King, but I’ll confess I’m disappointed I wasn’t able to give it 5 stars. I had to dock a star for two key reasons…

There’s Nothing Worse Than Being Disappointed in a Dragon Book
Well shit. I’m sad I didn’t love this. 🙁 It had so much potential and I was SO excited. But it ended up falling kind of flat for me. By the time I got to the end, I was doing a lot of skimming just […]
Review: Warcross by Marie Lu
Warcross was FANTASTIC! It was the first book I read from BookExpo 2017 and it was everything I hoped it would be. It had already gotten a lot of hype so I was very pleased that it didn’t disappoint. Things I LOVED The main character. […]
