Now this was a strange little novella! (And I mean that in the nicest way possible because I love strange.) If you want to read something mysterious and a bit unsettling, definitely pick up The Night Guest by Hildur Knútsdóttir. But I also recommend checking trigger warnings before reading.

Thanks Macmillan Audio for sending me a copy to review!

Thanks Macmillan Audio for sending me a copy of the audiobook! I feel like the third and final book in this series was action packed and wrapped up things nicely. If you’re looking for an epic YA fantasy that has a very interesting magic system, definitely check it this series. Especially because it’s being made into a movie!

Churo the Hutt is back and suddenly all is right in the world. Also they didn't need to go so hard on Vern & Stellan's story.

5.0

This book not only gives you a chance to reflect on the Empire and their terrible actions, but it draws a lot of comparisons to our real lives. While I think every Star Wars fan should read this, there are a loud few that really NEED to read it because it's clear where George Lucas was drawing inspiration from.
