“You refuse all help, reject all hope, and seem intent on living the most abject existence possible. If anyone is punishing you, look inward, not upward.” Abomination – Review at KatsCannon Preface in the name of transparency – I won this book as part of a GoodReads giveaway, courtesy of Inkshares. Free books in any capacity, be they giveaways, ARCs, or what have you, are awesome and I try not to let that influence my review, but I always like to be upfront about […]
A great addition to the Throne of Glass Series
“Life isn’t easy, no matter where you are. You’ll make choices you think are right, and then suffer for them.” The Assassin’s Blade – Review on KatsCannon This review is my longest to date, I believe, and filled with spoilers for people who haven’t read any of Throne of Glass. Looking through it, there’s really only spoilers about Sam, and some hints of spoilers about later things. But if you are worried about any spoilers, just skip this one. Just know that these novellas are awesome […]
Frenemies Forever
The Best of Enemies – Review on KatsCannon I went into this book knowing I love Jen Lancaster. I have read several of her books, but this was the first one that was fiction.

And, reader beware, GoodReads does not show you genres on it’s app. You must do your due diligence! Go forth […]
Music connects us all
“Life is a big, long free fall, and the sooner you can embrace what is beautiful about that, the sooner you will start to enjoy the ride.” Sounds Like Me: My Life (so far) in Song – Review on KatsCannon Some important information before I dive into this review. I’m a singer, I have a degree in Music with a concentration in musical theatre, and I love Sara Bareilles’ music with my whole heart. This memoir, as Lani Diane Rich from StoryWonk would say, was […]
In which our heroine changes everything
Queen of Shadows – Reviewed on KatsCannon “She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph.” I have completely failed to review any of this brilliant series on this blog. You’ll have to search this website to find some other reviews. Suffice it to say that while I will not discuss major spoilers from this volume here (or will properly hide them […]
