4.5 out of 5 stars My entire imagination could fit on one page of a Leigh Bardugo book. Goodreads.com: Seige and Storm, by Leigh Bardugo (The Grishaverse #2) This is a 5-star book if you haven't read the Six of Crows duology. Set in the same world, the Grishaverse trilogy is the timeless, sweeping legend behind … Continue reading Review: Seige and Storm
4 out of 5 stars Better than the book before it, Queen of Shadows really - finally - gets us somewhere. Goodreads.com: Queen of Shadows, by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #4) I'm not usually one to binge a series, and feel like I've been carrying Aelin and Co around for ages. Perhaps I … Continue reading Review: Queen of Shadows
3.75 out of 5 stars Assassins, magic, girl power, and the required YA love triangle done quite well, thankyouverymuch. I'm so late to the cool kids club, last fangirl on Earth to read Throne of Glass. Goodreads.com: Throne of Glass, by Sarah J. Mass (Throne of Glass #1) I'm going through this series so quickly, it's … Continue reading Review: Throne of Glass
4 out of 5 stars It's a dark and stormy world inside The Diviners series, on both the mortal plane and beyond. Goodreads.com: Before the Devil Breaks You, by Libba Bray (The Diviners #3) The good-timey, gin-soaked razzmatazz of the 1920s has worn off for our gifted heroes, and the Diviner's New York has become … Continue reading Review: Before the Devil Breaks You
3.5 out of 5 stars It's hard to explain the genius of Rick Riordan. Is it the humor that makes his books so great? The piling of so much modernity atop such ancient stories, and making it work? The speed and wackiness of it all? Goodreads.com: The Dark Prophecy, by Rick Riordan (The Trials of … Continue reading Review: The Dark Prophecy
4 out of 5 stars If this were the first Leigh Bardgo book I’d read, it would get 4.5 stars (.5 off only for being too short). But as stunning as this is, I’ve read Six of Crows, so I know what she can really do. Goodreads.com: Shadow and Bone, by Leigh Bardugo (The Grishaverse … Continue reading Review: Shadow and Bone
2.5 out of 5 stars Some things are better (steadier and more heartfelt), some things are worse (so many monkeys): The Dorothy Must Die series still isn't wow-ing me. Goodreads.com: The Wicked Will Rise, by Danielle Paige (Dorothy Must Die #2) First book SPOILERS right off the bat, y'all. Read Dorothy Must Die first. The … Continue reading Review: The Wicked Will Rise
