The Mermaid’s Sister by Carrie Anne Noble

I used to listen to this on audiobook as a little kid (even though it is undoubtedly a bit intense for a little kid), and I recently decided to reread it. I enjoyed it as much as—or even more than—I used to. In 1870, on a mountain in Pennsylvania, lives Auntie, Clara, and Maren. AuntieContinue reading “The Mermaid’s Sister by Carrie Anne Noble”

The Gentleman’s Guide To Vice And Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

Sorry I haven’t posted in a bit! I got sick and had a hard time focusing on reading. But anyway, this is actually pretty good. If you like YA historical fiction, you should read this. Monty has it all. His family’s part of high society, his father has a shining reputation, and Monty’s set toContinue reading “The Gentleman’s Guide To Vice And Virtue by Mackenzi Lee”

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

This was just an okay book. Though, I did enjoy the second half better than the first. The country of Ravka has long been at war, and long been divided by the Shadow Fold, a scar of darkness filled with horrifying monsters. Many people don’t survive the trip through it. Our main character, Alina, mustContinue reading “Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo”

This was so good! Zahru is normally content with working at her father’s stable, but her best friend Hen manages to convince her to sneak aboard a ship going the royal palace, for one night of wild partying. The gods have invoked The Crossing, a sometimes deadly race across the desert for the three heirsContinue reading “The Kinder Poison by Natalie Mae”

Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I’ve been meaning to read this book for a long time, and man, I’m glad I finally got around to it. This was really cool, and I may or may not have read late into the night to finish it.The year is 2380, and Tyler is top of his class in Aurora Academy. He’s preparedContinue reading “Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff”

Cold The Night, Fast The Wolves by Meg Long

I really liked this book. It was super interesting (at least to me). Sena lives on a planet covered in ice and snow, where electric storms run rampant, and crime lords rule. The only thing that makes it a popular tourist destination is the deadly sled race hosted every year, when the ice thaws justContinue reading “Cold The Night, Fast The Wolves by Meg Long”
