Tress of the Emerald Sea – Spoiler Free Review

Hello book friends! As some of you may know, Brandon Sanderson is set to release a couple of secret projects. Tress of the Emerald Sea is the first one, and while I didn’t quite have the cash to fund the kickstarter, I did have the cash to buy the regular book a few months later. So by now I’ve read it, obviously. As a side note, if someone ever decides to sell their kickstarter edition, I will likely throw money at them real fast. With that said, the regular edition looks really good on my shelves, too.Tress of the Emerald…

Quarterly Reading Check-In

Hello book friends! Long time no post, I know. I really need to figure out a way to work full time, read as much as I want to, and also blog regularly… Perhaps putting down my phone more often would help… Oh well, since I haven’t posted any reading wrap ups for February and March, I thought it would be fun to do a quarterly reading check in! I’ve been quite busy with life-stuff lately, so I’ll update on that too of course. quarterly reading check in January Yes I know I’m repeating January. But it’s not really a quarterly…

Happy Monday all! I hope this week will bring you many exciting things and that one of those things is this review.?

When I posted my review of This Woven Kingdom there was still zero info available on its sequel. I actually thought this was gonna be a duology but it isn’t, and guess what?? Zero info available on book three! I’m gonna cry. Anyway, if you haven’t read This…

January 2023 Reading Wrap Up

Happy February peeps! Did January go by super fast for anyone else? Normally I feel like it’s the slowest month of the year, but this time it flew by for me. Probably because I actually had a busy schedule for a change… And because I was so busy, I unfortunately did not have time to read as much as I would’ve liked. I had set a tentative TBR for this month, which included The City of Dusk, Heart of the Sun Warrior, The Awakening, The Gilded Cage, Hell Bent, A Light in the Flame, and Ocean’s Echo. I managed to…

Hell Bent – Spoiler Free Review

Hiya book friends! It’s my first review of the year already, I’m so proud of myself. Obviously as soon as Hell Bent came out I had to read it, because three and a half years between books is more than long enough. Best pray for a quick third book, because I will likely not survive another wait that long. I actually have a review for Ninth House on here as well, which you can find here! This review is so old that it’s still written in my old style and it doesn’t even come with content warnings… Hell Bent does,…
