my life production through the pages
I never thought I’d say this, but I think Demon Bound was too fast paced for my tastes. There was solid characters, and the plot was exciting. However, when put all together, there was too much happening at one time for me to really immerse myself in their world and connect with Meena and Jake. […]
Uprooted by Naomi Novik was a beautifully written and fairly popular fantasy novel. While I thoroughly enjoyed reading Uprooted, I didn’t quite love it. The plot was interesting, but the character development felt a bit flat. The plot of Uprooted was unique and unfolded in a manner, which kept me on my toes. I truly didn’t know how […]
**SPOILER ALERT: This review may contain spoilers for the first book in the series. Please do not read this review if you have not yet read Flame in the Mist. You may click here for my review of Flame in the Mist. I think I would have enjoyed Smoke in the Sun by Renee Ahdieh more if […]
I wanted to love We Hunt the Flame. Hafsah Faizal has been a part of the YA bookish community for a very long time, and I remember being very excited for her release. Unfortunately, for me, We Hunt the Flame simply did not live up to the excitement. “People lived because she killed.” “People died because […]
I didn’t know what to expect going into Smoke and Key by Kelsey Sutton. The synopsis sounded interesting, and I assumed it would wind up with Smoke and Key together based upon the title. It truly turned out to be a page-turner. Sutton crafted a mysterious story that makes the reader wonder what happened before all the […]
I thoroughly enjoyed Brenda Drake’s Library Jumpers series. (If you haven’t read that series yet, I highly recommend it!) So I was more than excited to have the opportunity to read her upcoming release Analiese Rising. Analiese Rising follows Analiese or Ana for short who unknowingly has the powers to raise the dead and turn them into […]
I finally read Flame in the Mist. It’s been on my TBR for ages, and I finally got a copy through my library to read. I’m so glad that I took the time to delve into the world of Flame in the Mist. I absolutely loved the Feudal Japan era and the Japanese characters. It’s been so […]
Maggie Stiefvater’s All the Crooked Saints was very unique. It’s about the miracles the Soria family perform, the pilgrims that come for miracles, and a boy that has come to work for the Soria family in exchange for a box truck. To start off, All the Crooked Saints has the very typical Maggie Stiefvater writing style, which […]
I recently finished reading the six book series Codex Alera by Jim Butcher. It was a fantastic fantasy series with tons of action (there are quite a few wars that occur) and also some great quotes. I highly recommend reading it! I notated my favorite quotes in my book journal and thought I’d share a few […]
**SPOILER ALERT: This review may contain spoilers for the Codex Alera series, including First Lord’s Fury. Please do not read this review if you do not wish to have any spoilers. I did it, guys! I finished the Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher. Six long books. For the most part, I absolutely loved this fantasy series. […]
