Unfortunately, this mess of a book gave us many of the answers we had such a good time over the last few years theorizing about. It's a fun read—kind of, if you've been drinking generously of the Sarah J. Maas cool-aid, which don't get me wrong, is a tasty, sugary drink, but it's starting to feel less and less nutritious.
Book Review | The Hurricane Wars
Book review: The Hurricane Wars. Despite having creative concepts and much-loved tropes, this enemies-to-lovers romantasy is a clunky, forgettable read.

ACOTAR Group Read: DAY 9
This is officially the last day of the reread for the first book in the series! I finished late last night because I wanted to pop in and write down my thoughts upon finishing the first book. It's going to be a chaotic stream of consciousness—but better than nothing! LUCIEN! I have spent years feeling … Continue reading ACOTAR Group Read: DAY 9
ACOTAR Group Read: DAY 3
I would like to dedicate day 3 of the reread to the Suriel. However, I must say that I have been thinking of the Suriel, in its fame in the fandom, as anything but a he. I now see the error of my ways but can't help wondering if Miss Maas might have made an … Continue reading ACOTAR Group Read: DAY 3
ACOTAR Group Read: DAY 2
Welcome to the Day 1 roundup! I got up to page 116 yesterday--which is saying something, because no, there isn't a chapter break or even a scene break there. I just wasn't interested enough, so I stopped. That said, I do have one big note. Feyre is now staying at Tamlin's court and we're getting … Continue reading ACOTAR Group Read: DAY 2
ACOTAR Group Read: DAY 1!
Welcome to the Day 1 roundup! I got through 54 pages yesterday (that is, yesterday night) and here are all the things I noticed. First of all, Feyre's sisters are so much worse than I remember. I've spent an embarrassing amount of time defending the two of them (later on in the series), so I … Continue reading ACOTAR Group Read: DAY 1!
ACOTAR & CRESCENT CITY Group Reread
Ahead of Sarah J. Maas' highly anticipated next book House of Flame and Shadow, come reread (or read for the first time!) all the books that lead up to this point! A Court of Thorns and Roses is so so popular for a reason—and now, for the first time in years, we're getting a relevant … Continue reading ACOTAR & CRESCENT CITY Group Reread
Book Review | Fourth Wing | The Most-Hyped Book of the Year
Pride and Prejudice only has a 4.2. Lord of the Rings has a 4.4. A Court of Thorns and Roses, which is oft-compared to Fourth Wing (a comparison about which I have MANY opinions) has a 4.2. What in the world is up with all this hype for Fourth Wing??
June Wrap Up | 10 Books
For my Storygraph reading goal this year, I went even more conservative than I was last year. And after a slump of zero books finished in March, I am now 15 books ahead of my goal. Is this partly due to not-so-great romance novels? Sure. But it's equally thanks to great series like Temeraire and, now, The Stormlight Archive.
