REVIEW | Scythe – Neal Shusterman
“But remember that good intentions pave many roads. Not all of them lead to hell.” I really enjoyed this book – the concept is fascinating, and although slow at times, I really loved the storyline. Humanity has conquered death. But space travel proved futile, and so we must subside only on planet Earth. How to Continue reading

REVIEW | Half A Soul – Olivia Atwater
“It may be true that you only have half a soul, Dora,” … “But that does not make you half a person.” I absolutely adored this story and I cannot wait for more! It was like Jane Austen combined with The Invisible Library, and I could not put it down in the slightest. The setting Continue reading

REVIEW | Last Memoria – Rachel Emma Shaw
Firstly, how gorgeous is that cover? That was the trouble with stolen memories, you could never trust them once they were yours. Oh this book! The synopsis on Goodreads compares to Joe Abercrombie, and I totally get it. Sarilla has Glokta’s dedication and ruthlessness – I’d even say Ninefingers self-destruction. I’d definitely throw this book Continue reading

REVIEW | A Discovery of Witches – Deborah Harkness
It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood and fear. It begins with a discovery of witches. Oooh, OK. So I watched the TV series before reading this book, but it has been a while. The TV show felt like it had been done so well, it kind of put me off reading Continue reading

REVIEW | Sisters of the Perilous Heart – Sandra L Vasher
Happy publication day! Set on another planet, this book has a vicious immortal race developed by humans, a magical royal family, and an intertwining storyline – following two groups of people with very different backgrounds as they deal with all this. I really enjoyed the story, however, I also feel I wanted a bit more Continue reading

REVIEW | Serpent & Dove – Shelby Mahurin
“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” I loved this book. Of course I loved it. It’s a great enemies to lovers story that unfolds slowly over the book, after our two protagonists, a witch and a witch hunter, are thrust together in a marriage of convenience. I loved Lou and Reid’s characters, but Continue reading

REVIEW | Throne of Glass – Sarah J Mass
“We all bear scars,… Mine just happen to be more visible than most.” Depending on how much you know of the series, this could be slightly spoilery for the series, as I mention how I feel about characters with later parts of the series in mind. So I’m reading this for the second time. I Continue reading

REVIEW | Last Argument of Kings – Joe Abercrombie
I’ve had this review sitting here since I read this book in December – reading the entire trilogy last year. I adored this sotry and I can’t wait to pick up the standalones this year, and finally start A Little Hatred which I’ve had since it released (of course). Proof is boring. Proof is tiresome. Continue reading

REVIEW | House of Earth and Blood – Sarah J Maas
“Through love, all is possible.” Unmistakably Sarah’s work, this book still feels very much like her ACOTAR series to me. Just with more swearing and getting to the point. But, I am totally hooked. Please give me more. I will spend all my money. With a slower start, this fantasy set in a world more Continue reading
About Me
Books and food enthusiast. I discovered a love for reading in my late teens, so you’ll see me catching up on older series quite often. I also love to travel around the UK, where I live, and picking up some crafty hobbies – I hope to share snippets of this amongst all the book content. Other interests include gaming, podcasts, drinking too much tea, and trying to personify autumn.
