What I liked: Very cool setting! It starts in London and moves to Hungary. Plus we see a few other places along the way (Austria). It was really interesting how magic was intertwined with the class system. The rich get magic, the poor do not. […]

I Didn’t Love Hunted – It Was Weird :(
Hunted was the first 2017 book I read, and not liking it was hugely disappointing. 🙁 Not for me This was solidly a case of “not for me”. I don’t think Hunted was objectively bad, and I’m not going to tell anyone to avoid it. […]
Long May She Reign by Rhiannon Thomas
Facts: Long May She Reign is not really a romance. There are a few bits and pieces, but it’s ultimately sooo not the focus of the story, which is kind of appropriate. It seemed like it would be a fantasy book, but it’s not really. […]
Draaaagons! (The Dragon’s Price by Bethany Wiggins)
WHAT A COOL IDEA!! ^ That’s the #1 thing I have to say about The Dragon’s Price. I looove the idea of this book. There are so many cool and exciting concepts! I won’t tell you about the most epic thing, because it’s not in […]
I Fell in Love With a Fantasy Series! (just like I hoped!)
When I talked about my reading goals for 2017 I said I wanted to fall in love with a new fantasy series… and I already have! Funnily enough, I also said this in that same post: “I’ve actually just started The Demon King, so it’s […]
Frostblood by Elly Blake (I should have loved it but I didn’t)
Objectively, Frostblood ticked so many boxes that should have made me fall in love with it. But sadly, that’s not what happened. The book missed out on that connection. I never really got invested in the characters or story. The world building was kind of […]

It took me long enough, but I finally finished The Queen of the Tearling series! This post doesn’t contain spoilers for any of the books, so you can safely read everything here even if you haven’t read the first one yet (just skip reading the […]
I Think I’m Not a Fan of Wonderland
Shortly after starting Heartless by Marissa Meyer I realized something that I probably should have known already… …I don’t like the Wonderland universe… It’s not because of Heartless at all — I just don’t like Wonderland in general. I’m just not a fan of that […]
Nemesis by Anna Banks Gave the Wrong First Impression
My first impression. The title (“Nemesis”) -> To me, screams intense, awesome, badass warrior girl on a mission for revenge. (Or maybe some kind of undercover operation.) The cover (which I love) -> Reinforces everything about the title. Kind of a stone cold killer warrior […]
It’s Kind of Exciting to Love a Book That None of Your Friends Did
I may have exaggerated a little. It’s not that none of my friends loved Legacy of Kings, but the vast majority gave it three stars or less, which to me ranges from “I didn’t like it” to “it was only okay”. But I loved it! […]
