The Review

Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon Book Review

3 stars

I gave the book 3 stars, but did not finish it due to struggling with the old English writing and dialogue. I found it demanding and not enjoyable for casual reading. The lack of connection to characters and plot influenced their neutral rating.

House of Flame and Shadow: Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas Book Review

3 stars / 3 spicy peppers

House of Flame and Shadows offers an entertaining ACOTAR cross-over with standout moments involving Nesta and Azriel. However, the plot suffers from abrupt character developments, unresolved storylines, and an unsatisfying ending. The central characters, Bryce and Hunt, lack depth in their relationship, and the…

House of Sky and Breath: Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas Book Review

2.5 stars / 3 spicy peppers

Honestly, I read House of Sky and Breath back in March and the only thing I remember from it are two things: 1) the major character plot twist, and 2) that it was dreadfully boring and long. I seriously cannot recall what happened in…

The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent Review

3.5 stars / 4 spicy peppers

Take The Hunger Games and make it vampires with more gore.

At least for half the premise of the book. The other half is filled with turbulent familial relationships, rebellion, and hidden motives.

Eclipse of the Crown by A.K. Caggiano Book Review

4 stars / 3 spicy peppers

This spectacular series about a silly romance has finally come to a dramatic end. The twists and turns, the romance, the prose, all of it was amazing (well for the most part).

Eclipse of the Crown is definitely weaker all around than the…

Summoned to the Wilds by A.K. Caggiano Book Review

5 stars / 2 spicy peppers

Amma becomes stronger and taps into her dark side while Damien becomes softer and gives accepts his goodness.

Summoned to the Wilds picks up right after the first book. After the reveal of Damien’s true end goal in book 1, Amma’s inter turmoil…

I cannot describe how much I loved and enjoyed this book. It was comical, mystical, and hit all my marks for a good fantasy romance. 🌹
