  • 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…

  • Warriors: Power of Three

    The third generation takes the stage and things get even darker than before. Bluestar had prophesized long ago that the kin of Firestar’s kin, a trio to be precise, would be the most powerful cats of the age. They would have the power of the stars. The thing about prophecies is that they’re oftentimes vague…

  • Warriors: The New Prophecy

    Ah, the next generation come of age and everything changes for the warrior cats. Yet some things stay the same. I had only read the first two books when I was little before abruptly stopping so this was all brand new for me, and I had no idea what would happen next. Okay, I actually…

  • Warriors: The Prophecies Begin

    So I decided to officially reread the Warriors series which should be interesting as I’ve only gotten through the first eight books so the rest of the expanded world is a whole new adventure for me to read. I’m very excited. So my first post on this will be pretty quick as I remember the…

She kindly took the time to answer my questions and divulge her early inspiration, writing process and what’s coming next. 1. What were your…

  • 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…

  • Rose Campbell and Jane Eyre

    I was reading Rose in Bloom in full (well the abridged version since the classic version sometimes gets too preachy for me) and this quote—— “My heart is my own, to dispose of as I please. Don’t shut yourself out of it by presuming too much, for you have no claim on me but that…

  • 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…

  • I enjoy Emily Starr

    I reread Emily of New Moon last month and I must say, Anne Shirley gets all the fame but I believe Emily should be the one that is praised.
