  Add Six of Crows to your for later shelf

  As far as dangerous missions undertaken to achieve near impossible goals are concerned, Kaz Brekker is certainly no novice. However, when he is approached by one of the most influential merchants in the bustling city of Ketterdam, Kaz is tasked with…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• A Court of Frost and Starlight

  Maas, Sarah J.,

  Add A Court of Frost and Starlight to your for later shelf

  I don’t understand why this novella exists. Any work of fiction, from short story to epic, needs a beginning, middle and end. A Court of Frost and Starlight fails to have even the basic structure that would render it a complete story. There’s no…Read moreRead more of this annotation

  Crooked Kingdom is the second book in Leigh Bardugo’s popular Six of Crows Duology. Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a near impossible heist. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they’re right back at fighting for their lives.…Read moreRead more of this annotation

  Add Rampage to your for later shelf

• Throne of Glass

  Maas, Sarah J.

  Add Throne of Glass to your for later shelf

  Throne of Glass has a lot going for it. Its packed full of action, mystery, decent characters and witty dialogue. On the flip side, this book made me want to rip my hair out because of the overused tropes that were included in this novel: the love…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Crown of Midnight

  Maas, Sarah J.,

  Add Crown of Midnight to your for later shelf

  Crown of Midnight had everything that the first book didn’t. It focused less on what Celaena was wearing, less on romance, more on magic, and had a bunch of death. Basically, Crown of Midnight was what I wanted in a book. It just had a few basic…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Heir of Fire

  Maas, Sarah J.,

  Add Heir of Fire to your for later shelf

  Heir of Fire gives us much more of a grapple on the world of magic in the Throne of Glass series and starts to plant the seeds of the rebellion that will hopefully come to fruition in later novels. I loved the friendship between Rowan and Aelin and…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Queen of Shadows

  Maas, Sarah J.

  Add Queen of Shadows to your for later shelf

  Queen of Shadows had me extremely conflicted. I hated half the things that happened but loved the other half. I was going to let myself give it 5 stars just for the awesome ending, but the first part was unbearable. There are so many pages in this…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Empire of Storms

  Maas, Sarah J.,

  Add Empire of Storms to your for later shelf

  Empire of Storms was an absolute disaster. It is very different from the other novels Sarah has sold. The rating should be changed to New Adult (NA) instead of Young Adult (YA) because she included a very explicit scene that would be found in NA…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• A Court of Thorns and Roses

  Maas, Sarah J.

  Add A Court of Thorns and Roses to your for later shelf

  This book frustrated me. The first half of this novel was horrible. It was slow and there was no plot to be found. The main character, Feyre, also annoyed me. From page 1 to about 200, Feyre is an annoying, blindingly thoughtless and an obstinate…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• A Court of Mist and Fury

  Maas, Sarah J.

  Add A Court of Mist and Fury to your for later shelf

  This book was amazing. I’ve never been happier with a sequel. Feyre’s character growth is incredible and it was one of my favorite parts in the novel. I wasn’t a huge fan of her in A Court of Thorns and Roses, but now she is learning to respect…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• A Court of Wings and Ruin

  Maas, Sarah J,

  Add A Court of Wings and Ruin to your for later shelf

  I wish I could say I liked this book…but I didn’t. I had so much hope for this book after reading A Court of Mist and Fury, but it was smashed into little pieces. I struggled with this book from the beginning. From pacing issues to awkward intimate…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Clockwork Angel

  Clare, Cassandra,

  Add Clockwork Angel to your for later shelf

  The book was a lot better than what I’m used to when it comes to Cassandra Clare and her Shadowhunters. The world building was good and seemed somewhat accurate with its time frame of the Victorian Era. The characters were pretty good and well…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Clockwork Prince

  Clare, Cassandra

  Add Clockwork Prince to your for later shelf

  This series makes me want to cry because of how fantastic it is. I was worried that this novel would be like the last one (slightly problematic) but I was wrong. This novel was so much better! There was so much character development between Will,…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Clockwork Princess

  Clare, Cassandra

  Add Clockwork Princess to your for later shelf

  Clockwork Princess was a solid finale to this series. The characters are unique and enjoyable in their own way, and I loved the Victorian atmosphere. I do wish that there had been a bit more focus on the plot with Mortmain and his infernal devices…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Romeo & Juliet

  Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616

  Add Romeo & Juliet to your for later shelf

  I’d never thought I’d enjoy this book/play, let alone read it. After being forced to read it in English class, I found myself surprised on how much I loved Shakespeare’s writing. I never found myself enjoying Shakespearean writing as I found it…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Shadow and Bone

  Bardugo, Leigh,

  Add Shadow and Bone to your for later shelf

  I had so much fun while reading this book. I absolutely flew through the book, it was such a quick and easy read. I loved the world and I’m so intrigued by the magic system and characters. I also really enjoyed Leigh Bardugo’s writing, it was simple…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Siege and Storm

  Bardugo, Leigh,

  Add Siege and Storm to your for later shelf

  The book was so slow, and nothing seemed to happen for most of it. While this was an informative middle chapter to the trilogy, I can't help but be slightly disappointed that there just wasn't more. I found myself really excited in the final…Read moreRead more of this annotation
