I‘ve read so many amazing books lately! I can‘t wait to share my April/May reading wrap up.

For now here is my most recent 5 star read. The cast of characters were enchanting, the romance was so well done, and the plot was completely engrossing! I cannot wait for the next book

This book exceeded all of my expectations and more. It was a fun and surprising emotional romp through and well developed and original futuristic space world full of the brightest and most lovable characters. The found family aspect was by far my favorite part.
And the ending!!!!

This book made my day! It‘s been too long since I read a Marissa Meyer book and this one did not disappoint. It was definitely darker than her previous books, but I enjoyed every page! I can‘t wait for the next one!

The only word I can think of that fully describes this book is long. There were some really good parts, but they were so few and far between it was hard to enjoy.

Heir of Fire is my absolute favorite book in this series! There are so many new and amazing characters, and the old characters were explored in completely new ways. I was in love with Dorian‘s storyline. And the ending completely blew me away. The last line had me in literal tears!

I just realized I never reviewed this fantastic duololgy (it seems like it will be a trilogy but nothings been released yet). These books are so amazingly incredible and I would highly recommend them!

This book was a little bit disappointing. It was too long and winding, in my opinion, and the middle got pretty boring. But, the ending was so good. It blew my mind!

Starting my reading of the Throne of Glass series with two four star reviews! Throne of Glass was so much better after having read The Assassin‘s Blade.

I recently finished this wonderful series and I couldn‘t be happier with it! The characters were stunning and the plot was so exciting. And despite how big they are, all three books make for very quick reads.

I really enjoyed this book. It was told in a dual timeline and they eventually blended into each other which was pretty cool. I definitely enjoyed the past timeline more than I enjoyed the present one. Overall it was an interesting read, but I wasn‘t wowed.

This book was really cute. I was a little worried it would have to much of the “I‘m not like other girls” trope, but after the first chapter that mostly recedes. I‘m willing to look past it though because the love interest, Wallace, was amazing and the whole fandom/webcomic aspect was really cool. And I loved that the book integrated art from the comic!

This is one of the better mysteries I‘ve read! I loved that it was based off of the breakfast club and the characters were perfect. It was one of the few mysteries that actually got me worried that everything wouldn‘t work out.

August reading wrap up! I started school this month so I didn‘t get as much reading or reviewing done as I had wanted to. I‘ve also decided to stop reading the Ember in the Ashes series. It was a big disappointment. 😢

I liked this book, just not as much as I thought I would. The beginning was great! The middle got a little slow. Nothing really happened for the first few years of the war. Then, when things picked up at the end, I started really disliking Achilles. Thus, the ending didn‘t pack very much punch.

Nevertheless, I did enjoy this book.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

#historicalfiction #romance #retelling #summerread

This was wasn‘t the best book I‘ve ever read, but it was entertaining. The romance was predictable but sweet and I really enjoyed the narration, especially in the second half. My main complaint is that all of the unnecessary clothing descriptions and pop culture referenced pulled me out of the story.

I‘ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately, so I‘ve turned to two of my favorite Marissa Meyer stories. If you haven‘t read the Renegades trilogy or the Lunar Chronicles yet, you need to stop what you are doing and read them now. 100 stars out of five.

This book was so slow. It had a great concept, great characters, and a great climax. However, I was contemplating DNFing it for the first 250 pages. I probably won‘t read the sequel.

I just finished the first draft of my first novel! Now it‘s time to finally finish Save the Cat in an attempt to make the draft resemble a pile of trash slightly less.

If anyone out there has written a book or is in the stages of writing one, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This book was so good! I LOVED Maritza. She‘s one of my new favorite characters. The romance was also absolutely adorable. I highly recommend this one. It‘s very unique.

I‘m still trying to let this book sink in. It was was a lot, but it was really good. I loved the premise, especially the whole “old gods” thing. And I really loved and related to Henry. The ending wasn‘t bad, I was just left a little bit disappointed. I don‘t know, it was just different than I thought it would be.

This books was nothing spectacular, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The romance kept me on my toes and I really enjoyed all of the different family dynamics. It‘s a really unique book.

I don‘t have much to say about this book other than it was fine. The concept was really cool, but the execution wasn‘t anything special.

#ya #fantasy #yafantasy #seananmcguire #everyheartadoorway

This book was VERY long. The first hundred pages or so could have been completely cut and it wouldn‘t have changed the story whatsoever. That being said, the ending picked up steam again. I fell back in love with the characters and the pacing was much better. Warning: the end of this book shattered my heart into a million pieces.

This book is definitely worth the hype. I loved the characters and the overall concept! And, I don‘t usually love love triangles but this one seems like it will be very well executed. I can‘t wait to read the rest of this series! ❤️

This might be one of the first magical realism book I‘ve ever read, and I wasn‘t a huge fan. I just felt like the parts where she was chasing down the bird really dragged out the plot. However, I loved the character development and the ending was so sweet.

I am looking for someone to beta read/edit two short stories that I am planning on submitting towards the end of this month. I know this is short notice, but if anyone is willing please comment an email address I can send them to. The edits can be anything from a few sentence to close line by line editing. I would be grateful for even the smallest effort. They are both about five pages long. Thank you so much!

#writing #editing #shortstories #ya

I‘ll be the first to admit the the beginning of this book was just average, especially for a Marissa Meyer book. However, the rest of this beautiful book could not have been any more perfect. The romance was swoon-worthy and the characters were adorable. I‘ve said it once and I‘ll say it again, Marissa Meyer is the queen of adorable romance! ❤️

This series went downhill fast. The characters seriously lacked depth and the plot felt as though it had no stakes. I didn‘t understand what was going on half the time and the other half of the time I didn‘t care.

Book 2: ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2
Book 3: ⭐️ (DNF)
