I am very much a black sheep when it comes to this book and I was surprised and very sad to have to DNF it. This was one of my highly anticipated books of 2016! There is magic, Russian culture and a magical duel to the death! It sounded so epic and wonderful and I was just so excited for this story. I was sorely disappointed and no one is sadder about it than me. Firstly, I tried so hard to […]
The Sound: I really liked the audio narrators! I always like when there are two narrators for a dual POV book and I thought both did such a great job. They definitely fit how I pictured the characters to sound — for example, Luna is a bit naive and the narrator for her definitely sounded young and innocent. The Story: I had been really excited for this fantasy and I have to say… it fell a bit short for me. […]

The Story: This is my first Maggie Stiefvater book! And now I know I need to read all her books! I thought the writing in The Scorpio Races was beautiful and I adored the story! I’m a big horse person. I loved horses as a kid and […]
Why Did I Read? I was SO excited to hear that Rae Carson was coming out with a new fantasy series! I adored her Girl of Fire and Thorns series, so I could not have been more elated! My Thoughts: First off, this book was not what I expected at all. I think I was expecting a fantasy akin to Rae’s previous series but Walk On Earth A Stranger felt primarily historical fiction with just a touch of fantasy. For me, this didn’t pose a problem […]
