I am so excited about this new fantasy world from John Gwynne. It is everything comforting and familiar and yet somehow so hard to achieve that we look for in fantasy. And the audiobook performance is stunning.
Book Review | Inferno
A quick review for a quick read. With a fantastic, high stakes, fun plot, this book manages to wrap us in the cozy ambiance of Italian art and architecture while also being an adventure worthy of the 2016 film of the same name.
May TBR
All-new! In addition to getting back to reading in June, I also got back to...adding to my TBR. As a result, here are some novels I'm super, super excited to crack open.
To Paradise (vs. A Little Life)
In To Paradise, Yanagihara has invented a newer, subtler way to torture her readers and her characters: loneliness, helplessness, and self-delusion. All afflictions that more easily land close to home than the operatic suffering of A Little Life.
June TBR
Let's see if I can finish any of the THREE novels I'm currently in the middle of reading.
May TBR
Colleen Hoover this month? Let's see! I've been meaning to read "Less" for FOREVER.
April TBR
Colleen Hoover this month? Let's see! I've been meaning to read "Less" for FOREVER.
Book Review | War of Two Queens
No one is talking about the way this novel is carried by its villain. Armentrout's tendency towards repetition is the Achilles heel of the fourth installment of the From Blood and Ash series, taking away from the magic of a fully built-up fantasy world nearing its climax. A contentious scene didn't seem all that important.
Leia Shorney | GUEST Review | House of Sky and Breath
Anything for you, Rhysand. A guest reviewer was unimpressed with the newest installment of Sarah J. Maas' Crescent City series.
March TBR
A steamy Hades & Persephone retelling, Coleen Hoover, and more!
