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.

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”

Gilded by Marissa Meyer

This was great. Marissa Meyer is pretty much my favorite author. She wrote Cinder and Heartless, as well as some other books that I haven’t read just yet. Now, on to the review! Serilda was blessed—or cursed—before she was born with the power of lies and storytelling by the god of fate and fortune, Wyrdith.Continue reading “Gilded by Marissa Meyer”

We Called Them Giants by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.This was interesting. The story was a little lacking. The art style was a bit strange in my opinion. Lori is a foster kid who’s long been disillusioned with the system. Then one day she wakes to find everyone in theContinue reading “We Called Them Giants by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans”

Powerless by Lauren Roberts

I was so excited for this book, I even bought it before reading it, which I very rarely do. I was slightly disappointed, as it was very repetitive, but overall I loved it and it was a great read. Years ago, a plague swept over Ilya, granting extraordinary powers to those strong enough to survive.Continue reading “Powerless by Lauren Roberts”
