• King’s Cage Review

  Since Mare’s surrender, she has been living her own personal hell as Maven’s glorified doll. Chained up with manacles of Silent Stone and accompained by three Arwens at all times, she’s been forced to speak treason against the Scarlet Guard to weaken their morale, paraded about as a symbol of Maven’s might and to writhe…

• Red Queen Review

  In a world divided by blood, Mare Barrow is nothing special. As a Red (blood), she’s believed that jer place is to serve, to fight, and to die at the whim of the supernaturally powerful Silver (bloods). She’s even less special in her family, a disappointment really as her only skill is a thief compared…

• July Books

  Queen Charlotte by Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes Although I finished the Brigderton series the other year, I am a completist so I had to read this companion book even though it is connected more to the tv series than the original novels. I’ll admit, since it said companion I thought it would be more…

• 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 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…

• Ranking The Friendship Ring

  This 1998-2000 series precisely disects, and relives to the messiness of friendship and adolescence. As the first protagonist introduces the series, seventh grade is where hormones hit you and you end up crying on the bathroom floor over nothing. Something Zoe Grandon thought she’d never do. But then again, she never thought she’d get a…
