As surprising as it may seem, the thing that made The Shadow of the Gods first catch my eye was the cover art. Scrolling through social media and it was enough to make me look a little deeper. I then learned about John Gwynne as an author and read the synopsis for the book, andContinue reading “The Shadow of the Gods, The Bloodsworn Saga 1 BOOK REVIEW”

A Court of Silver Flames, ACOTAR 4 BOOK REVIEW
In the longest and potentially most vibrant work of Sarah J. Maas’ I have read, A Court of Silver Flames bursts with color and emotion from the first pages. Returning to the land of Prythian is familiar, but in stepping away from the similarly familiar perspectives of Feyre and Rhysand, the story takes a differentContinue reading “A Court of Silver Flames, ACOTAR 4 BOOK REVIEW”
A Court of Frost and Starlight, ACOTAR Novella BOOK REVIEW
In what be my favorite showing from Sarah J. Maas in this series thus far, A Court of Frost and Starlight takes a slower, more personal, and frankly enjoyable look at Feyre and her family in the days after the end of the war with Hybern and the events of A Court of Wings andContinue reading “A Court of Frost and Starlight, ACOTAR Novella BOOK REVIEW”

A Court of Wings and Ruin, ACOTAR 3 BOOK REVIEW
After the high stakes climax of A Court of Mist and Fury, the third book in Sarah J. Maas’ beloved series drops right into the loaded circumstances Feyre Archeron has landed herself in.

A Court of Mist and Fury, ACOTAR 2 BOOK REVIEW
Upping the ante from A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury flexes the worldbuilding and complex characters that have defined Sarah J. Maas’ works. Where the first book stood largely on its own, completing its narrative arc while keeping threads and potential for subsequent books, Book 2 in the seriesContinue reading “A Court of Mist and Fury, ACOTAR 2 BOOK REVIEW”
A Court of Thorns and Roses, ACOTAR 1 BOOK REVIEW
A Court of Thorns and Roses is a book that was not written for me. In that, I mean I’m not the primary intended audience, at least not on the surface. I’m a man and I love epic fantasy. And while a well-written romance arc in a story can be great, books with a strong,Continue reading “A Court of Thorns and Roses, ACOTAR 1 BOOK REVIEW”
