The Death Cure Review
The final book in the trilogy has a very apt name as Thomas, and the Gladers seem to have finally reached the end of their journey with WICKED. Their minds will be removed of the Swipe, the cure is near. But it is WICKED, and Thomas, Newt and Minho don’t plan to accept their explanations…

The Scorch Trials Review
Thomas and the rest of the Gladers had thought that things were going to be okay now that they got out of the Maze. But after only 24 hours of rest, they are thrust into a new trials because it turns WICKED’s machinations turn out to be less than altrustic. What do you expect with…

The Maze Runner Review
I had thought I completed my 2000s dystopian binge when I finished the Matched trilogy but I realized I would be remissed if I hadn’t read The Maze Runner. So in I go to the maze with very little idea of what it is really about. Only to find Dashner’s world to be a dangerous…

The School for Good and Evil: One True King Review
The End of Ends have finally come. To keep things simple, the minor spoilers are under the cut but lets get to characterization and plot first. Since Tedros was revealed to have the final ring, and the wedding crashing went wrong, King Arthur’s ghost comes in with a deus ex machina to give his son…

The School for Good and Evil: A Crystal of Time Review
Remember in the last review when I said that I thought I knew the villain. . . Yeah, I was so wrong. Once again, Chainani subverts all my expectations as the Snake and the Lion switch sides (or do they?) just as all the rest of the Evers are scrambling to fight back against a…

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Review
This book was certainly full of surprises. I’ll admit, I didn’t read this when it first came out because it seemed unnecessary. I mean who wanted a book about President Snow? And about yet another District 12 tribute, especially as we already know what will happen? But those low expectations were probably a good thing…

An Island Princess Starts a Scandal Review
The second book is always interesting to read as you may encounter sophmore slump after the dazzling debut or it exceeds expectations. Herrera’s novel, of course, is the latter as it is just as layered and wonderful as the first in Las Leonas series. Anyone who loves historical romance should go read it and this…

Avalon High Review
Since reading School for Good and Evil (and my roommate binging Merlin) I got interested in the story of Arthur, Camelot and all that jazz. I don’t know why it never interested me before but it’s actually really cool! I mean the big prophecy, shady relatives and a sizzling love triangle. So I headed right…

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner Review
Alright, I lied in the previous review when I said I was done with the series. There’s one more piece of the larger Twilight universe. A non essential piece technically as it has no bearing on Bella’s story in the big picture but provides an interesting glimpse into the life of newborns. The novella follows…
