The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding: A Love Letter to Middle Grade
I don't talk a lot about Middle-Grade books, but I love them so much! I especially love MG books that tackle really difficult topics. One of my favorites last year was The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding. It was the first book I read by Alex Bracken, and I'm reading the sequel right now. I wanted to share some of … Continue reading The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding: A Love Letter to Middle Grade
Four Dead Queens: Too Many POVs
I received an ARC of Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte at San Diego Comic-con last summer. I was cautiously optimistic since YA and royals don't always mix well for me. Sadly, I did not end up enjoying this one and I want to talk about the reasons why, because they are things that always throw me … Continue reading Four Dead Queens: Too Many POVs
Descendant of the Crane: Netgally Review

A Curse so Dark and Lonely: Netgalley Review
I requested A Curse so Dark and Lonely from Bloomsbury to review on Netgalley. I was honestly a little hesitant about this one, I put off requesting it for a while, but Milana really loved it so I went for it! It's definitely heavy on the romance, and there a teeny bit of a love triangle. After that fizzles, I … Continue reading A Curse so Dark and Lonely: Netgalley Review
The Girl King: Netgalley Review
I requested the eARC of The Girl King from Bloomsbury on Netgalley. I saw Samantha Shannon say some great things about it, so even though I didn't know much myself I was intrigued! It's is another in a longish line of Asian inspired YA fantasy novels, which I just can't get enough of. But! I saw lots … Continue reading The Girl King: Netgalley Review
Slayer by Kiersten White|Good for fans of Buffy?
Slayer by Kiersten White sat near the very top of my want list at San Diego Comic-con last summer. I fought pretty hard to get an ARC (with some help from Christine) and I had really high hopes because I know that White is a big Buffy fan! I also read and loved The Dark Descent of … Continue reading Slayer by Kiersten White|Good for fans of Buffy?
The Wicked King: ARC Review
I picked up an arc of The Wicked King at San Diego Comic-con. Let's get right into it. The romantic relationship portrayed in this series is not desirable. Romanticising, or seeking a relationship like the one in these books is not something anyone should do. It's emotionally unhealthy, and seeing people swoon over Cardan frankly … Continue reading The Wicked King: ARC Review
