Why Did I Read? I’ve been meaning to read this for so long! My Secret Sister got it for me and I read it with Racquel and Betty! My Thoughts: This is everything I love about fantasy! There are different kingdoms and there are things called Graces that people can be born with. You can be Graced with an extraordinary ability to cook, or to fight, or to sew. When your Grace manifests, your eyes also change color — each […]

Why Did I Read? I got an ARC of this from BEA and the cover is gorgeous! The premise also sounded so interesting – sci fi with zodiac houses? Cool, right? My Thoughts: Unfortunately, I really didn’t like this book. I almost DNFed it but for some reason I kept thinking it was going to pick up. But it didn’t. Basically the main character, Rho, is thrust into a leadership position after a huge tragedy strikes, leaving thousands dead. She’s […]

Heir of Fire is very different from the first two books in the series. It’s quieter and focuses a lot on characterization […]

Here’s another fantasy to put on your radar, everyone! This was one that was on my list before I headed to BEA. The premise sounded great and I made it a priority to wait for the drop of it! (It got pretty crazy, but trust me, it was worth it!) Kelsea Glynn has lived in hiding her entire life and now that she’s turned 19, her dead Queen mother’s guard shows up to take her back to her throne. Her […]

Perfection. Utter perfection. How was Ruin and Rising so brilliantly perfect?? Did I just use the word perfect three times in three sentences? Sorry not sorry. I have to admit, I started this with a twinge of nervousness. Series enders are tricky and I have been disappointed by trilogy enders before! I didn’t need to worry because I adored this! First of all, the Grisha world with its Russian themes is freaking awesome. The world building is astounding, as I’m […]
