I gave this one a 4.1/5 stars. The visual world building of this book and whole trilogy was absolutely superb. I had so many feelings of outrage in the third book which means even if there were parts I didn’t like, the fact that it created so much emotion out of me is a plus.Continue reading “Review #346”

Review #345
I gave this YA fantasy sequel a 4.5/5 stars. It felt unfinished. Yes there’s a 3rd book, but the goal and arc for this sequel is sliding into the third and didn’t have a separate resolution in this second book of the series. Here’s my live thoughts while reading, starting from the beginning: So itContinue reading “Review #345”

4.95 stars out of 5!!! I almost gave this YA fantasy a perfect score. Here’s my thoughts while reading: So Scarlett is our heroine (third person past tense) and has been writing letters to the Caraval master to visit their town for years. Weeks before her wedding to a stranger, she received a magical ticketContinue reading “Review #344”
DNF – Crossings
The preface was one of the most unique openings of a book I’ve ever read. And then the note to the reader gave two ways to read this book, from page 1-end as typical or in a specific sequence shown by codes and page numbers at the end of certain sections. Apparently the choice changesContinue reading “DNF – Crossings”

I loved this sequel and gave it a 4.4/5 stars. When it comes to characters, unique magic, world building, and relationships it was perfect. I scraped a few points off the total score because of its length, slow pace in middle and 5 POV head hopped within chapters. Overall, I absolutely love this group ofContinue reading “Review #342”

Loathe to Love you is three short stories that starts with “Under One Roof.” I rated the first one 4.5/5 stars. Stay tuned for info on the others. I don’t think the prologue was necessary since it felt more like a spoiler. Even though we all know what’s going to happen in HEA anyways. TheirContinue reading “Review #341”
The Sea Witch
I rated this one a 3/5 but Katee Robert is so popular that everyone who is a fan and craves her books gives her a 5/5! (First person present tense, dual POV) Once upon a time, I met a man who stole my heart. In my desperation to reunite with him, I have nowhere toContinue reading “The Sea Witch”

My first February book complete! I loved loved this book. 4.9/5 stars. The author was so clever with how she included the elements of Snow White’s love for animals and the mirror theme. I wish I had thought of it first. I cant wait for “A Dream So Wicked” for the Sleeping Beauty story. Here’sContinue reading “Review #340”
