3.5 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: This Savage Song (3.5 stars), Our Dark Duet (3 stars), by Victoria Schwab In the world of Verity, evil has a consequence: it spawns monsters.

4 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Rule of Wolves, by Leigh Bardugo (King of Scars #2) When Zoya became my favorite character in King of Scars, I knew that Leigh Bardugo could really do anything. When I read Rule of Wolves, high on the binged achievement of "Shadow and Bone"'s Netflix mashup, it made a … Continue reading Review: Rule of Wolves

Review: Buried Heart

August 3, 2020Leave a comment

3.75 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Buried Heart, by Kate Elliott (Court of Fives #3) I confess to being a little confused by the end of the Court of Fives trilogy.

Review: Call Down the Hawk

May 21, 2020Leave a comment

4 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Call Down the Hawk, by Maggie Stiefvater (Dreamer Trilogy #1) I adore Maggie Steifvater's writing. In her gorgeous prose, the language is art, flowing in surprising surges like over a waterfall. Call Down the Hawk is no different. In fact, there are times where she's over-describing, where another analogy … Continue reading Review: Call Down the Hawk
