Absolutely amazing. I'm completely in love with this book. Alosa and Riden’s journey together feels almost magical—their growth throughout the story is so genuine, so relatable. The way the threads between the Pirate King, the Siren Queen, and their daughter come together is nothing short of a must-read. The ending? Perfect. This duology is magnificent, and honestly, it was the perfect palate cleanser after two heavy reads.
I'm totally fangirling—and even though it’s technically a duology, I need more. I can’t wait to dive into Sorinda’s spin-off!

Este libro me rompió el corazón. Sabía de la masacre, claro, pero no había comprendido el verdadero horror hasta leer el relato de la única sobreviviente. Cada página pesa. Cada palabra duele. Como salvadoreña, me duele aún más ver cómo estas historias se callan o se olvidan, cuando deberían ser parte de nuestra memoria colectiva. La Fuerza Armada cometió crímenes atroces durante el conflicto armado, y aún hoy, demasiadas verdades son borradas o blanqueadas. Rufina Amaya no solo cuenta su historia—grita la verdad al mundo, sin miedo, sin filtros. Este libro no se lee; se siente. Y es absolutamente necesario.

A heavy, unforgettable read—easily one of the best books I've ever picked up. Watching Winston Smith's journey from defiance to... what he becomes by the end, felt like living through a slow, crushing heartbreak. 1984 made me angry, sad, and achingly hopeless. This isn’t just fiction—it’s a warning. And the real fear? Knowing Orwell wrote this in 1949, and realizing how much closer we've drifted to the nightmare he imagined.

This was a brief read to wrap up the month. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped. There were several typos and editing mistakes that left me confused at times. Daisy Fortune comes across as rather insufferable, but we have no choice but to deal with her. Overall, it was just okay, but I don’t plan to read the next book in the series.

I saw the movie years ago and always wanted to read the book but never got around to it until now. I enjoyed it immensely. It's a fantastic story, and I can't wait to read the rest of the saga and immerse myself in the magical world of Narnia.

Oh my... This one was a little different. If I can be honest, it felt like a deux ex machina since the end doesn't really make sense like in other books, but I have to admit that I still enjoyed it. Here we focus on Sir Charles Cartwright and Mr Satterthwaite trying to resolve the crime while having the help of the beautiful "Egg" and consultation from Hercule Poirot himself. Watching the characters try to resolve the crime was a little weird but I still enjoyed it, though I would have prefer more Poirot participation. Over all, a good book but not one of Christie's best.

The ending of the book was good. It focused on Lala (Draculaura) but felt like something was missing, even though it was still decent. I’m happy for Billy, but I’m sad about Jackson. What he did wasn’t love, and Melody doesn’t deserve him; I will never forgive her for that. It left me feeling disappointed. Overall, I enjoyed the series, but I don’t think it will stay with me for long.

We’ve finished book 3 in the series and are now focusing on Clawdeen Wolf. I love her sassiness, but Cleo is still my favorite character. In this installment, the normies are opposing the RADs, and Melody comes up with a plan to make them leave their differences behind. Meanwhile, Billy and Brent are "fighting" for Frankie’s affection. Frankie frustrates me; she’s my least favorite character. Despite having access to the internet, she still makes decisions like a clueless teenager. Overall, we’re moving along smoothly. I was surprised by the revelations about Melody's backstory—I absolutely love her! I can’t wait for the next book.
Who would have guessed that a Sassy Sixteen party could bring normies and RADs together?

What can I say about this book? Aside from the random chapters featuring Melody, it primarily focuses on Cleo de Nile, who is my favorite character from the group. I enjoyed this book more than the first one, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. It's a good read for Monster High fans who want to learn more about the characters that inspired the dolls and the series, but that's about it. I have to admit, though, Melody's lore is becoming increasingly interesting.

I'm so happy! I really loved this book. I need to watch "Tinker Bell and the Secret of the Wings" again because this book filled my heart with so much love. I had been waiting for the story of Queen Clarion and Lord Milori for years, and I finally have it, and it didn't disappoint. I highly recommend it to everyone who loved Queen Clarion and Lord Milori's story from the Tinker Bell movie, as well as anyone who enjoys romantic Disney stories in general. It was absolutely amazing! The writing was on point and highly descriptive, making you feel like part of the story. The ending was a bit painful, but knowing that they get back together in the movie makes it all worth it.
