Welcome to my weird world!
I'm glad I'm only now picking up this series. If I'd started it a year or two earlier, I think I'd be driving myself crazy anticipating the next instalment. Maybe for my own sanity I should lay off from The Shadow Wand for a while. Elloren Gardner's come a long way since her relaxing youth... Continue Reading →
Will Marissa Meyer ever write a bad book? Ever? Her first contemporary book (well, sorta) takes place at Fortuna Beach, California, a coastal town where it's summer all year and you can always enjoy the ocean waves, unless you have a phobia of sharks like Prudence Barnett or nearly drowned as a child like a...

I now look towards Sabaa Tahir’s series if I need inspiring on how to make the characters in my books frightened and truly “scarred”. A Reaper at the Gates is the third installment in the Ember in the Ashes series. And at the end of the last book, Laia of Serra was finally able to... Continue Reading →
Update for you guys: I'm going to be bringing you guys some of my old reviews, and this is one. It's also an example of when I might become quite harsh. It took me two weeks to finish this book. There have been books I’ve read that have taken about as long, but many of... Continue Reading →

Then again...let's face it, that was a pretty terrible piece of poetry. I'm often impatient and want to get on... Continue Reading →
When I was reading this book, I was surprised this was a debut. It has the aura of an author really immersed in the spirit of teen fiction. Meet Leona D'Auron. She's the queen of Erenen, where, as she puts it, killing is their source of income. They basically have no trade agreements with outside... Continue Reading →
I read this back when everything began closing down from the virus and I had final assignments for my final semester of university, so it was kind of a stressful time. Due to that, after my final grade of Shadowshaper was quite negative (1.5 stars out of 4), I didn't end up writing a review... Continue Reading →
After some time off to focus on school, I now have more time for book and movie blogging, finally. And the book I just finished was based off of time. I love coincidences sometimes. Jules Ember, originally from the kingdom of Everless, had to run away from her home and the name Liam Gerling was... Continue Reading →
