The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson
5.0
just realised why I love Mary E Pearson's books so much! It's BECAUSE of the characters and their relationships and NOTHING ELSE;
The plot? i can't even remember it and the little i do remember was substancially meek. Lia, princess bethrothed to an enemy kingdom's prince, escapes her premeditated fate by riding off to a small village in the coutryside with the best friend. The whole book is just her daily in her new life accompagnied by meager chapters of an assassin and a prince both trying to either kill or report her to the authorities. However they both soon fall for the girl throughout the book and the internal turmoil is simply rellishingly devious as it is the only factor pushinh me to read furthor on in the night. Page after page, seeing these characters unravel and bond and discover themselves alongside the reader. I might be overexaggerating things, but truly, the remnant chronicles changed my taste in books/storytelling altogether. I thank the author for it since it was thanks to her that i got inspiration to start writing myself. (well, her and Leigh Bardugo with her riveting duology)
Every single character from this trilogy made my heart yearn for entry to their world, for just a glimpse, a momentary time gulf in which i could meet the characters that shaped me as a person today. This may turn out to be an ode rather than a review but i do not care since words cannot describe how immensly thankful i am to Mary E Pearson's books. It's atrocious how underrated her books are, how unrecognised her work is. I solely wish to have more of her work to read, more of her lush world and soothing words, more, more and more.

don't talk to me about this book.
I hated every page of it.
It's worse than the sequel to from blood and ash.
I'll just casually forget i ever read this.
(i even went through till the end cause everyone was raving about it)
note to self: never trust booktok
basically this was an aliexpress/wish version of Nina and Matthias

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan

Omg this book was epic !! I am so sad that this the end of this series ...but there still is the Trials of apollo that I should go start right away . My favourite character is Leo he is so funny !! a small anecdote : When I entered the metro (it is like a subway ) I could not find any place to sit so I leaned myself on a door . As I i kept on reading the metro got crowded and i had to squeeze my book into corner in order to keep on reading. In the chapter i had been reading i remember Leo Valdez saying a cringey ass line and i burst out laughing like a mad woman (everyone side-eyed me). To get me to have these kind of reactions IN PUBLIC is an exploit in itself.
[IC]From that day I freakin loved Leo

I HATED THIS BOOK;
even though i was intrigued and pleasantly surprised by the first book, this one disappointed me tremendously. I just can't-
no energy after A touch of darkness to actually write a coherent review or even rant. JUST DON'T READ THIS. Stick with the first book and think of it as a stand-a-lone
