CBR 13 BINGO: Flora square (along top and right edge of cover) Somehow I missed this one when it was favorably (and unfavorably) reviewed a while back, but I follow some Instagram accounts that were raving about this series so I got curious. After a war between human mortals and faeries, the world is split. A wall is erected and humans are pushed behind it into the southlands. Generations of stories about powerful fae creatures that enslave, murder, and eat humans are handed down. Occasionally even stories […]

Coping with this book via Pros and Cons.

A Court of Silver Flames (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #4) by Sarah J. Maas

This is a book I’ve been avoiding reviewing because I have so many complicated thoughts and feelings about it; it’s overwhelming. Does SJM not provoke complicated feelings in everyone? I feel like she’s very divisive, and it’s not always clear where all the animosity is coming from* (or rather, ‘why’ it’s coming; people who hate her and her books are VERY loud about it, so in that sense it’s very easy to see from whence said animosity is being hurled). And yeah, Maas makes some, […]

So, it’s March! And this is my first review! Which tells you a lot about how my reading has been going this year. I hit a major slump just after Christmas (and in fact, still haven’t finished reading the book I was really into at that time). So I picked a book that I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy, but was pretty sure I would have Thoughts on: A Court of Silver Flames, by Sarah J. Maas. I’m trying to make this one relatively spoiler […]

Oh, Sarah J. Maas, I cannot quit you. I thought I was done with A Court of Thorns and Roses but then I found people who love/hate it as much as I do, I bullied a friend into reading it, and I got stuck without a book so I ended up rereading the entire series. I KNOW. Anyway. Here we are. I reread all three and then zipped right through the latest, all 768 pages of it. Is Sarah J. Maas more than one person, James […]

Here follows a roundup (still 250 words average for each book) of some adventures into the world of super sexy YA fantasy. *cracks knuckles* Let’s go. Spoilers for ALL these entries abound, because let’s face it, anyone who reads this review will probably just read it to see if I felt the same as them, not if they should pick it up. (But if you like YA fantasy, DEFINITELY pick up Holly Black’s trilogy).   A Court of Wings and Fury, Sarah J. Maas (2.5 […]
