This Is The Year by Gloria Muñoz

First off, this cover is everything. I love it so much. This is written in a mix of prose and verse, which was really interesting. Set in the near future where climate change has ravaged the earth, Juli mourns her twin sister Ofe, who passed away the year before. Juli makes a promise to herselfContinue reading “This Is The Year by Gloria Muñoz”

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

So, I wasn’t the biggest fan of this, but I didn’t hate it, and I think I’ll continue with the series. Just remember to keep in mind, there are some things in this book that haven’t aged well, given it was released in 2011. Juliette has been locked away for 264 days. She’s never knownContinue reading “Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi”

Snowglobe by Soyoung Park, Joungmin Lee Comfort (translator)

This was definitely a fun read, reminiscent of The Hunger Games. While Earth was once colorful and vibrant, the planet has now been reduced to a never ending winter, with temperatures sometimes staying as low as -70 °F. However there is one exception, a city built on a rare geothermal source called Snowglobe. To liveContinue reading “Snowglobe by Soyoung Park, Joungmin Lee Comfort (translator)”

Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White

This…is an amazing book. It was maybe a bit too gory for me, specifically, but it’s still a very good book. Benji is on the run from the cult that unleashed Armageddon and practically destroyed the world’s population. The cult that raised him. The cult that told him over and over that he was aContinue reading “Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White”

The Jewel by Amy Ewing

I…did not like this. However, I know a lot of people do. Violet is one of the select few who are able to carry the children of the royal families, which is why she and hundreds of other girls are being sold to the royal women as surrogates. Violet is sold for a huge sum,Continue reading “The Jewel by Amy Ewing”

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”

Stolen City by Elisa A. Bonnin

This book was pretty good. Lots of magical heists. Arian and her twin brother Liam are thieves. They steal magical artifacts from the Empire that occupies their city. Arian tries to forget her sorrows, like her mother is dead, her father is absent, and her brother is using magic in a city where magic isContinue reading “Stolen City by Elisa A. Bonnin”

The Selection by Kiera Cass

I didn’t go into this expecting to like it a whole lot, but it turned out to be pretty good. It’s kind of light on the plot, but it’s a fun read. In Illéa, there are eight castes, with Ones being royalty, and Eights being homeless. America and her family are Fives. America is contentContinue reading “The Selection by Kiera Cass”
