A Reading Journal
TL;DR: A bit long and drawn out, this read very episodic and fairly disconnected. Source: Netgalley! Thank you to the publisher! Plot: Divided into three parts we follow post robbery, with a cult, and running/back to the cult. It felt a little drawn out to be honest. Characters: I didn’t end up very connected to...

Source: NetGalley, thank you to the publisher!TL;DR: A rather dull main character and an incredibly toxic and red flag covered romance killed this for me. Plot: Started out a mystery and quickly devolved into just bad decisions after bad decisions and 'Do I love the Red Flag Princess?'.Characters: The MC was a wet noodle, the... Continue Reading →
TL;DR: I haven’t laughed this hard at a book in a hot minute. Definitely not for people who don’t like humor or sarcasm in their books book definitely for me. Source: NetGalley, thank you so, so much to the publisher! Plot: Davi is stuck in a loop of ‘Wake up and try to save the... Continue Reading →

He finds one of those... Continue Reading →
Source: NetGalley - Thank you to the publisher!TL;DR: A fun collection overall with a few standouts and only two big disappointments. Collection: For the most part the collection felt cohesive but there were two jarringly dark stories I didn't care for.Characters: A fun and diverse cast, none of them stood out, but I enjoyed them...

Source: NetGalley - thank you to Tor for the advanced copy!TL;DR: I was scared TJ Klune couldn't pull it off after destroying me with Wolfsong but here we are. Gordo is the most grumpy, precious witch in the world. I loved it. Plot: This one is covers both the time that Gordo and the others... Continue Reading →
Source: NetGalley - Thank you Tor for the arc!TL;DR: An absolutely magical adventure novel about a young girl trying to save her family. Highly recommend. Plot: There are two distinct halves to the story, but it seems natural and reasonable for the setup. I liked that a lot, the plot is solid and well stitched... Continue Reading →
Source: NetGalley - so many thanks to the publisher, but I also purchased a copy prior to reading it so thank you to past me!TL;DR: A big win for me - I will be this series for sure and likely rereading this one as well. Loved this. Plot: A bit slow to build but once... Continue Reading →
Source: Netgalley - many thanks to the publisher!TL;DR: A great many strengths with a few weakness I hope to see remedied in the future. Fantastic if you love hand-to-hand combat. Plot: Slow for a good portion, has some very intense 'school' setting feelings in the bulk of the book.Characters: Murray and Cego are interesting but... Continue Reading →
