Why Did I Read? I loved the Grisha trilogy and loved Six of Crows and Leigh is one of my favorite authors! Of course I was going to read it! My Thoughts: A few things first: I absolutely love Leigh’s writing. She’s one of my favorite fantasy authors because her writing is amazing and draws me in. Her story telling is also amazing.

My Thoughts: I have finally found a new series to fall in love with! So Aileana Kameron is […]

It’s totally something I’d be into. Unfortunately, this did not work out for me. And I tried really hard to push through. First of all, the tense it’s written in really threw me. It’s written in 3rd person present tense and I struggled with this. It kept jolting […]
