The Lights of Prague – Spoiler Free Review

Happy Thursday book friends! It is time for another review, and this time it’s of a book I picked up randomly at the book store because the cover was pretty. But also because I’ve seen it around quite often. The Lights of Prague by Nicole Jarvis landed in my shopping basket when I went to Rotterdam last week. Rotterdam has a very large bookstore, but to be honest, I still find their English department lacking. Or maybe I’m just spoiled being used to Barnes & Noble. Either way, I’m glad I was able to pick up this book, even if…

May Wrap Up – Finishing My Grishaverse Binge

To be honest everything in May went better than expected, so now let’s hope I don’t jinx it somehow… I read six books in May, and most of those were Grishaverse books. Like I said last time, I dedicated some time to rereading all the Grishaverse books in anticipation of the show and Rule of Wolves.

Rule of Wolves – Spoiler Free Review

Guess who finally finished her Grishaverse binge? This girl! Sometime yesterday night I finished Rule of Wolves, and I think I have lots to say about this book. It had some ups and downs for me I’d like to discuss. Mostly ups though. I’m very glad I decided to do a Grishaverse reread. I reread all the Shadow and Bone books, the Six of Crows duology, and King of Scars. All in anticipation of both the show and Rule of Wolves. Especially King of Scars was important for me to reread, because I had forgotten basically everything about it. Read…
