Children of Blood and Bone deals with some really heavy, intense issues. There are huge topics like privilege, family vs “what’s right”, oppression, and more. It’s not a lighthearted book, and that’s what I loved about it.

Review: The Queen’s Rising by Rebecca Ross
The Queen’s Rising is an interesting kingdom/rebellion story, which thankfully reads like a standalone!
Reign the Earth was everything I hoped it would be!
To be honest, I don’t want to review Reign the Earth. For me it was one of those books that was so perfect that I don’t even want to sit and be objective about it. I don’t want to go over details and pick it apart. I just want to bask in its amazingness and all the beautiful feelings I have about the book.

Review: Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
I need to say right off the bat that THE ENDING KICKS ASS!! It was so exciting, intense, and full of death! OMG! Aaaanyway! There was a bit of a romance/love triangle in Red Queen but it was subtle. I was glad for that because […]
How Could I Have Almost Not Read The Book of Ivy?
I LOVE it when I give a book five stars without hesitation. And to think that I almost didn’t read The Book of Ivy. I saw it on NetGalley. Pass. I saw it in Entangled Teen’s newsletter. Pass. Why the bloody hell did I keep […]
Review: Captive by Aimée Carter
For the most part, I really liked Captive. It was a really good second book in a series and actually felt important (unlike most second books). We had an intense story about Elsewhere, which was really cool to read about! Plus there were more secrets, […]
