So, I was really excited to read this one. I mean, it’s a fantasy, with a girl who’s been pretending to be a boy this whole time. Not to mention, she’s supposedly an awesome fighter, on the prince’s guard and basically sounds all sorts of awesome. It definitely made me think of Mulan – pretending to be a boy, in the army, you can see where I get that – and it really had all the markings of something amazing! […]

Every single person there is there because they’ve taken their own life and now that they’re in that city, they become […]

It has been more than a full day and 1) I still haven’t finished writing this review, 2) I haven’t read anything else since then (both from lack […]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK. I find it exceptionally hard to write reviews for books that I completely fall in love with because when I think about what I want to say about it, I’m essentially just going “ahhhh SO GOOD” and “I LOVE MAL” with lots of flailing. And while that’s how I FEEL about it, I’m thinking it’s not so good to have an all caps review. =) So I will try my hardest to put coherent sentences […]
