• 12 to 22 Review

  You might be able to guess from the title but this middle grade book brings its own tiktok take on the feel-good movie, 13 Going on 30. I’m surprised it hasn’t been done before since it’s so beloved. At least it’s something new from the constant variations of Freaky Friday. Harper Lancaster is thrilled that…

• Ranking Finishing School

  1. Etiquette & Espionage: Now I’ll admit maybe this series would have been more enjoyable to me if I had read the Parasoul Protectorate first, I mean I was a bit confused that this was steampunk London and vampires/werewolves exist? It was all a surprise but that’s why the first book in the series gets…

• Top 5 Bella Sara

  1. Nike’s Great Race: This one gets number one because I just love pegasuses. Pegusi? Either way, they’re just so cool and I love the flowy scarfs and such that’s decorated on Nike too. Really, I love the cover illustration. As for the plot, I do enjoy Marta’s story as she defends her family home…

• Ranking Fairygodmother Academy

  1. Kerka’s Book. Kerka is the latest in the line of her family to undergo the journey to Aventurine and wield the Kalis sticks. She’s thrilled as it is a family honor but that adventure is dimmed by the recent loss of her mother and the distance between her and her sisters. In fact, her…

  Three years since the martyrdom of the Sun Summoner, the death of the Darkling and Nikolai’s accesion to the throne Ravka is in deep trouble. Because it’s Ravka, there is always something.

• Grishaverse: Crooked Kingdom Review

  The Crows had been left in dire straits but just a few weeks later, new plans are in place and Kaz is sure that not only will be able to get the original windfall that Van Eck had promised them, but retrieve Inej from his Van Eck’s hiding place, save Grisha refugees and get Kuwei…

• Grishaverse: Six of Crows Review

  I know Six of Crows is highly-regarded and I’m pleased to see that it lived up to its hype. After all the premise is centered around a Oceans 8-esque heist that seems impossible to accomplish but will yield so many rewards if they succeed. And certain death if they fail. The goal is to retrieve…

• Grishaverse: Ruin and Rising Review

  Ah the final book in the Grisha trilogy. This one I cannot keep my thoughts on the ending spoiler free but that will be under the cut. What I will say is that the book starts off strong. Since the climax of Seige and Storm, Alina has been weak and her power faltering. A position…
