Welcome to my weird world!
If there’s one thing these Avatar books have taught me, or at least reminded me about, it is that our actions may not just influence today or tomorrow, but shape the world years or even generations into the future. The more power, the more it is possible, but boy, this is a complex universe, with... Continue Reading →
Avatar: The Last Airbender is my favourite cartoon TV series, and it’s really tough to imagine a cartoon ever overtaking it. I also liked the first season of the live-action adaptation quite a bit, and I know this puts me in the minority, but I also saw some real beauty in the 2010 movie. Suffice... Continue Reading →
Like a long-time running successful and beloved television show I’ve been waiting for the right time to start because of the intimidating scope that turns out to not be worth the hype…yeah, that’s what I’d describe Gone as. I’ve been eyeing Gone for years, and, well, the sheer size of the series was intimidating. Six... Continue Reading →
I’ll be thinking about this book for a long time, and probably associating it with some decisions I make for myself. Henry Denton is a teenager from a rather troublesome part of Florida. I mean, before everywhere of Florida became a cesspool thanks to DeSantis. He has a mother with a waitressing job she hates... Continue Reading →
DNF @ 40% I couldn’t finish this one. I tried to get into it and failed miserably. Which surprised me. For one, I almost never DNF books, even if they’re really tearing me down. I could count on one hand the amount of books I’ve picked up and DNFed over the last five years. And... Continue Reading →
I got exactly what I wanted out of this book, something I haven’t had much of lately. And even if I did have some recent satisfying reads, which, again, I haven’t, I’m sure Pride & Prejudice & Pittsburgh would’ve still stood out. Audrey Cameron is a teen from Pittsburgh who has dreams of going to... Continue Reading →
I read the first Serpent & Dove and devoured it. I gave it my highest grade, being one of the most fun reads in ages at the time. But Blood & Honey, despite having many similar elements, struggled to keep my attention the same way. The last Serpent & Dove was about a secret witch... Continue Reading →
I hopefully will never get tired of the YA genre, especially since a fair few are much easier to digest than adult ones. With this one, I felt a bit like I'd already read it, and with it came some fatigue, but there was enough to keep me interested. I've read better, and I've also... Continue Reading →
I've been on a big hiatus from book reviewing, and I hope to finally really get back into it. I've missed it. And let's start with this review! I'm sad to say I was looking forward to the sequel and conclusion to the Gilded duology, from one of my favourite authors, and it really disappointed... Continue Reading →
Definitely one of the most mixed experiences I've ever had with a book series, I admire Kendare Blake's Three Dark Crowns series as a whole, based on the three out of four books in the series I have read, but I also think you'd have to be a very patient and devoted reader to really...
