Review of Six of Crows



I am giving this book 4.5 stars!

 Let's start with Kaz frickin' BREKKER! I absolutely love how smart and strategic he is. How street smart he is blows my not so street smart mind haha. I LOVE IT! I need more. I also can't believe Kaz and his band of misfits are all around my age, and are looking to make so much money. The things they can do makes me wish I could do all of that while I'm still young.

 We get a hate to love romance and a friend to love romance, which I find to be really cool! When the book is written in one perspective, you might not notice the romance for other characters. Bardugo wrote in multiple perspectives. We get to read the romance in the two people it involves, and the characters that get to watch it unfold. So watching the romance play out for multiple people added a special spark to it for me. 

Inej and Kaz. I love them. They broke my heart. I love how their romance isn't central for them. It's an extra little something on the side. It's very realistic, which I don't think we get enough of in this genre. Nina and her drüskelle. I *really* like them. I think Bardugo did a great job with them. And near the end of the book, with all those events... you know how I feel if you've read the book...

 I love how each character is good at something and not everything. They are all needed for their specific skills and they make up for where the others lack. It's truly a group effort and cannot be done as a one man show. I really liked seeing characters that weren't overpowered and had weaknesses or lack of skill. I also love how each character has their own dreams that drives them, and a past that still haunts, but leads them. They are more than just the main heist and story. They are each their own individual person and it added a realistic touch.
This review is also on Goodreads and Bookbub!

Review of Heir of Fire

I am giving this book 4.5/5 stars! In this book, we meet multiple new people, more answers are given, and more questions are left unanswered. I think this is the book where things really start to go down and get interesting. It's a turning point, not just for the characters, but for the story as a whole. Even the feel of the book is different. As I was reading, I felt like Chaol and Dorian's point of view was providing a slice of the past books, Manon's point of view was providing a slice of the future and where the series is heading, and Celaena's point of view was providing the transition from past to future. I really like Manon, more than I had anticipated. She brings something good to the table and the story and I can't wait to see how she continues to develop as a character. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she plays a bigger role in Celaena's story later on! I teared up a few times because OOOHHH MYYYY GOODNESS I am speechless with how the s...

Review of The Queen of Nothing (SPOILER FREE)

This review is the SPOILER FREE version. I am giving this book 5/5 stars! GUYS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER! I DON'T WANT IT TO END! I really enjoyed reading this book, and I wish there were more books to come. I definitely think that there could be more if Holly Black wanted to make it happen. I live for Jude and Cardan's relationship, and their own personalities. I love these two so much. They are so skillfully crafted and have many layers to their personalities. There is more than just the sad, drunk boy, more than just the strong, power hungry girl. Their relationship grows (in a good or a bad way, you will find out) in this book and it tore me up! Many questions that had been unanswered in the second book are answered in this book. I feel like there are questions I still have that this book brought up, but it's nothing big that will eat at me for all eternity... I like the first half, but I really like the second half of the book. So much happene...

Review of Rise of the Phoenix

I am giving this book 4/5 stars! I received a copy of the book from the author. Thank you again Isajanyan for the copy and writing a great book!!  If you like books with the chosen one, born solely for this event type of books, this is the book for you! This book was creative from the beginning with the brilliant writing style. In some movies, there is a prophecy or story from the past that they will describe and talk about. This book was written like someone was telling the prophecy, and I found that creative because this whole book starts with just that.  There was a lot of information in the beginning, it was a bit overwhelming and may have contributed to me having a hard time getting into it at first. That also may have contributed to me feeling as though some things were being repeated. While that may be the case, as I continued reading it got better. I was starting to get attached to the characters and story. So I highly recommend sticking around and reading it...
