Most of the fantasy novels I’ve read have mostly ended up being these epic adventures on massive scales. But every so often there are stories that are on a smaller scale that’s more relatable and grounded with a touch of magic. Despite the terrifying fate hanging over Meg Raspberry’s head from the start of the … Continue reading Book Review: Once Upon a Witch’s Death Vol 1: The Tale of the One Thousand Tears of Joy by Saka

Book Review: The Reckoning of Roku by Randy Ribay
The Chronicles of the Avatar has been book series I’ve found really compelling for a while now. It’s no secret that Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of my favorite stories of all time for how well written the characters are and for having one of the best redemption arcs in all of media. The … Continue reading Book Review: The Reckoning of Roku by Randy Ribay
Book Re-Review: Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa (Shadow of the Fox #1)
I was wondering for the longest time why someone would read a book they’ve already read. It always felt like something that was ruined simply because you already knew the ending. But I thought I would give it a try seeing as it’s been quite a while since I’ve read my favorite series and, in … Continue reading Book Re-Review: Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa (Shadow of the Fox #1)
Book Review: Forest of Ruin by Kelley Armstrong
With how the second book ended on a rather surprising cliffhanger, I couldn’t help but wonder how Armstrong would continue the story in book 3 and end her trilogy. In a sense, the cliffhanger worked as it grabbed my attention since I needed to know what happened next. But that also created higher expectations as … Continue reading Book Review: Forest of Ruin by Kelley Armstrong
Book Review: Empire of Night by Kelley Armstrong
After how intriguing and surprising I found the first book, Sea of Shadows, I wanted to continue the series and see how Armstrong continues her well written and rather unpredictably good and engaging story. There’s a lot of tropes that are often the bane of YA Fantasies. I often find I get uneasy as soon … Continue reading Book Review: Empire of Night by Kelley Armstrong
Book Review: Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong
A confession of sorts, I often have a lot of apprehension reading novels from authors I’m unfamiliar with. There’s always a risk the story could be disappointing in a number of ways and the time it takes to finish a book always makes it feel a bit risky. But it’s also a mindset I’m trying … Continue reading Book Review: Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong
Book Review: Harley Merlin #9 – Harley Merlin and The Mortal Pact by Bella Forrest
It’s been quite a while since I’ve read the Harley Merlin series by Bella Forrest. Part of that was because the 9th book disappeared from online stores and my local bookstore but part of it was also a lack of excitement admittedly. The 8th book felt like it took forever to get to but it … Continue reading Book Review: Harley Merlin #9 – Harley Merlin and The Mortal Pact by Bella Forrest
Book Review: Skyward #4 – Defiant by Brandon Sanderson
I remember as soon as I saw this book listed I preordered it as soon as I could. I can’t remember the last time I was so excited for a book to arrive. I haven’t been moved by a series like this since The Shadow of the Fox series by Julie Kagawa. The Skyward series … Continue reading Book Review: Skyward #4 – Defiant by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter – A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson
Another of Brandon Sanderson’s Secret Project books, I was curious to see how this one would turn out. While I didn’t much care for The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook, I absolutely loved Tress of the Emerald Sea so I had mixed expectations going into this. The premise was interesting and considering the creativity in the first … Continue reading Book Review: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter – A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review: Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan
Romance novels were never really stories I had taken much interest in. While I do appreciate romance in stories I’ve read, I’ve always stayed clear of romance centered novels as they often tend to focus more on the physical side of romance while I prefer the tender and sentimental moments instead. With that being said, … Continue reading Book Review: Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan
