forget whimsically quoting a poet as you gaze up at the stars, I long for quoting a poet whilst standing against discrimination

Aurora might be one of the strongest characters I've read in a long while, she's bold and unafraid to keep fighting for what matters, all the while having so much heart for the people surrounding her—a lot of these characters do. Its one of the central structures of this book and I adore it so heavily

There's many details to this dystopian world to unpack: new themes, new rules and all their risks. As you discover each of them you're gripping to know more, which is perfect for a fast pacing novel full of adventure 🥹

Itchikan is a wonderful debut novel, and I'm so curious for its second instalment!! I just know I'm not gonna know what's coming 😭❤️‍🩹

Drop Dead Like Flies by Portia Stanton-Noble

dark funny mysterious tense fast-paced

3.5

3.5 for this murder mystery, thrilling as it was chilling. Not as much heart in the characters as the last two books, this one definitely carried a much colder touch but I'm relieved to hear there is another installment coming!! I do enjoy them
