Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim

5.0

I absolutely adored this book! I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn't put it down!

Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

3.0

I really did enjoy this book however the end didn't seem right to me. It just felt a bit rushed. The beginning and climax of the story was fantastic, but for me the ending just didn't live up to my expectations.

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

5.0

I absolutely loved this book! I will admit it took me a couple of chapters to get into it but after that it was amazing. The world building is so beautiful and I was in love with the characters. The ending was perfect and beautiful written.

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

5.0

This is definitely one of the best books I've ever read. The plot twists were very unexpected and left me so shocked. It was wonderful and heartbreaking to see the protagonist work through her grief but it was so well done, I just could not put this book down. I can't wait to read the sequel once it's released!

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

4.0

I thought this was an enjoyable YA read. It was not the best book I've ever read, but I am interested in the story and the characters so I will read the other Grishaverse books.

Caraval by Stephanie Garber

4.0

It was a good read but I got frustrated a lot at some of the characters. They just got really annoying and I wanted to throw the book across my room. However I did enjoy the world of Caraval. I have never read a book in this type of setting before and I loved it! I was amazed at all the twists, turns and the magic. I never knew what was going on and what was true or not but I did enjoy it.

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

1.0

I couldn't finish this book, it was so boring. I googled a summary of what the end of the book was and it didn't seem very climatic for me.

The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall

2.0

It was a decent read but I found some parts of the story really boring and I was really struggling to carry on with this book. I just felt there wasn't much their for me to get hooked and invested in the story or it's characters.

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

4.0

I read this book when I was younger and decided to re-read it. It was just as magical as I remember. I loved the plot and learning about how Jude survived in faerie. I also loved the political side of the story, when Jude decides to fight back and not take anymore nonsense! I also thought the description of faerie was amazing it created a hauntingly beautiful picture in my head.

The Wicked King by Holly Black

4.0

I loved this book! It was so much better than the first one. Again I loved exploring the world of faerie. That ending though was absolutely heartbreaking! I was stunned into silence and so shocked. I did not see that coming at all, can't wait to see what Jude does next! Will she stay in the human world or go back and claim her right to the throne in faerie?
