Why Did I Read? The Grisha trilogy is one of my favorite fantasy series so I was beyond excited when I heard that there was going to be a new series set in the Grishaverse! My Thoughts: Leigh has a way with words! Her writing is amazing.

My Thoughts: So basically I should go watch Veronica Mars and Scandal ASAP because I really enjoyed this one! And if those two comparisons are accurate, then I bet I’d love those shows too! In The Fixer, Tess is shuttled off to live with her sister in DC. The change is abrupt and she’s not a fan of […]
