These Hollow Vows – Spoiler Free Review

Am I posting two reviews in a row? Yes, I am. I’ve been making good progress reading some of my most anticipated releases of this year, one of which was These Hollow Vows. These Hollow Vows has actually been out for a while now. Actually it’s been out so long that there’s already a cover and release date for its sequel. This series is a duology, so that sequel will be the final book. I’m already excited for it, though!

Thronebreakers – Spoiler Free Review

Happy Sunday book friends! And long time no see. In all honesty, I’ve been absent because I was too lazy to write anything. I haven’t even read a lot lately either. I did go on a city trip for like a week, but still. Maybe you noticed that I changed my blog theme to winter! These changes always make me excited to write again. I actually finished Thronebreakers on October 29th, and I’m only just now sitting down to review it. Good thing I’ve read exactly two books since then, because otherwise I would’ve never remembered the details. This book…

Iron Widow – Spoiler Free Review

Happy Sunday book friends! I finally decided to start reading through my NetGalley arcs, and I have no regrets that I chose Iron Widow first. It also comes out within a month, so it was probably time I started that one anyway.

Basically, the author has described it as taking place in a separate sci-fi world, with a society very loosely based on Chinese history. So it’s not to be taken as…

Small Favors – Spoiler Free Review

Happy Sunday book friends! Last week I started and finished Small Favors with hardly any sleep in between. I don’t know what it is, but I could not stop reading. I had the same thing with this author’s other book, House of Salt and Sorrows. Obviously this is very positive! Small Favors was one of my most anticipated releases of this year and I seriously enjoyed it. It kind of gave me “The Village” vibes (not that I’ve even seen that movie), and it was so atmospheric. There are definitely some content warnings for this book though, so read those…

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…
