I’m so pissed at this book. HOW DARE YOU, BOOK. How DARE you be better than the first novel (A Darker Shade of Magic). How DARE you make me care more about the characters. How DARE you introduce even more characters I have to care about. But most of all HOW DARE YOU END ON A CLIFFHANGER. For serious, you guys, I’m so mad. Mostly because the next book isn’t out and might not even be written yet? So rude. What am I supposed to […]

The head is too wise. The heart is all fire.
Spoiler warning: This is the fourth and concluding volume in The Raven Cycle. Readers starting with this book will get very little out of it, and while I am going to try to keep this review as spoiler free as possible, it probably will reveal some things about the previous three books in the series, which may ruin your enjoyment somewhat. It’s a great series, made even better when read as a whole. The Raven Boys is the place to start – go read it […]

The more I read these books, the more I like to think it’s an adult Harry Potter.
I hope it goes without saying that, if you haven’t read these books, beware the spoilers that follow. I’ve tried to not give away major plot points for each book, but if you’re on book three, you may not want to read the following reviews. Harry Potter was one of those foundational stories, for me. It laid the groundwork for what I deem good in this world. To some degree, everything I’ve read since has been weighed against the mark left on my soul by […]
