Completely separate from the book, but can we just talk about what a disappointment the cover is? The cover for The Gilded Ones was fire, but this? I mean, it’s not bad, but it’s nowhere near as great. This was one of my most anticipated sequels of the year, and it didn’t disappoint. Since thisRead the Post
Review: The Stardust Thief – Chelsea Abdullah
Wow. This book absolutely knocked my socks off. Much as you’d expect from a book loosely based on 1001 Nights, it’s a story about stories, about the stories we tell about ourselves and how they can constrain us or free us. Loulie survived the attack that killed the rest of her tribe, and with the helpRead the Post
Review: Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments – T.L. Huchu
T.L. Huchu’s The Library of the Dead was one of my favorite books of last year, so you better believe I went nuts when I saw that unbelievable cover. Just like the first, this book is captivating, immersing you in the world of a post-catastrophe Edinburgh through the eyes of one teen girl who can quoteRead the Post
Review: Hunt the Stars – Jessie Mihalik
I have basically two responses to a book I absolutely, ridiculously love. I either make tons of highlights because I just love every single line of prose, or I highlight almost nothing because I’m too caught up in the story. This book is definitely of the second variety. It also hits all of the rightRead the Post
Review: Love & Other Disasters – Anita Kelly
That cover is incredibly gorgeous, and it actually accurately represents the main characters! Dahlia’s hair! London’s freckles! And like the cover, this book is just plain adorable. The authenticity of their feelings was such a breath of fresh air and I loved every bit. Dahlia is still reeling from her divorce, but cooking is theRead the Post
Review: Proper Scoundrels – Allie Therin
This is a spin-off of the author’s Magic in Manhattan series, which I absolutely adored. I was a little worried about this book because it stars two somewhat villains (and afraid I would miss the characters from the previous book, Arthur and Rory) but this book is just as excellent as the previous ones. WhileRead the Post
Review: Fated Blades – Ilona Andrews
Folks, folks, folks! This is an enemies-to-lovers fated-mates trope, if the fated connection made the couple unstoppable killing machines. From the moment I heard there was a new Kinsmen novella coming out, I was ridiculously excited. And when the Luisa J. Preissler cover art came out? Pretty much incoherent (and yes, in case you wereRead the Post
Review: The Kinsmen Universe – Ilona Andrews
This is a set of two novellas and a short story all in the Kinsmen universe. These predate a lot of the Andrews’ later work, so you can see the genesis of some ideas that are refined in later work, like the concept of the kinsmen families which become the houses in Hidden Legacy, orRead the Post
Review: Spoiler Alert – Olivia Dade
First off, wow, that cover. A book featuring a clinch with a beautiful plus-sized heroine? Epically gorgeous. This is a masterwork of outgrowing toxic family, of being your true self, and a love letter to fandom. I absolutely adored it. April is simply one of my favorite heroines ever. One thing I love about OliviaRead the Post
Review: The Thief – Megan Whalen Turner
I started reading this book as a teen when I ducked into a Barnes & Noble during a rainy visit to New York City. I remember sitting spellbound in front of the shelf, highly amused at Gen’s antics, and spent much longer there than I’d intended. And of course I went home with that book!Read the Post
