Oh my goodness there are quite a few disclaimers for this book. First and foremost the ending does have spoilers for The Heroes of Olympus series. I believe now that Riordan intended for his audience to read the books in order so I won’t be finishing the series until I read the previous series unfortunately. … Continue reading Book Review: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard – The Hammer of Thor

Book Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
The first book in the series, Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, is one of my favorite books of all time. It was so different from the traditional Young Adult books and dealt with very serious issues of PTSD and emotional scarring. What made it even more impactful were how endearing the characters were and how invested … Continue reading Book Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review: Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff has been a book on my to-read list for a while now. Reading the book blurb, it was hard not to not to be excited for it.

Book Review: The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
Fantasy has always felt like the more entertaining genre for young adult fiction. There’s been several stories that have focused on the post-apocalyptic or dystopian narrative for teen/young adult fiction that have, for the most part, felt rather bland in my opinion. While The Maze Runner was a fantastic book that felt refreshing and unique, … Continue reading Book Review: The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
