This was definitely a fun novel! A light academia novel set in veterinary school with a rivals to lovers romance. The added bonus of magical creatures (both familiars and mythical) made it even better, although I do wish there were more discussion of them. The entire plot revolves around Gwen and Harrisford (did anyone else […]
I debated for a day whether to rate this two point something stars or just round up to three. The reason I did round up to three is that overall, I did enjoy the book plus the writing was absolutely lyrical and beautiful. Sadly, there was just a few things (well, more than a few) […]
I don’t know what it is about romantasy that falls flat for me most of the time. I really, really wanted to love this book and actually expected this to be a 4 or 5 star read. But sadly, that is not the case. The characters themselves were quite boring, as was the relationship. I […]
I have mixed feelings about this book. Overall, the book is an enjoyable, escapist book. I’m going to start with the parts I didn’t like and end with what was done well. This review is not spoiler free, so proceed at your own risk! First off, I don’t understand all the questions that were in […]
Oh, the pining! Such perfection that it’s pretty closely tied for my favorite India Holton novel The League of Gentlewomen Witches. Having geography be the study of magic and magical disasters was such a fun twist to the academic profession. The characters were all such wonderfully written, from the two main characters to even the […]
India Holton’s books are always such a romp of a good time! They’re lighthearted, adventurous, and absurdist while also having a realness to them at the same time. With The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love, there’s Beth and Devon who are both so wonderful as characters and as a couple. I always love a good […]
Such a thought-provoking book on gender and identity, an epic look into a world that doesn’t have gender. The world-building is probably the biggest focus for people but everything else works in the background and slowly sneaks up on you. Not realizing how emotionally I was invested in all of this til near the end. […]
I actually found out about R.M. Virtues Gods of Hunger series because I was looking for a romance where Aphrodite and Hephaestus are actually in love with each other. I found Keep Me Close by R.M. Virtues. I immediately read it and fell in love with Virtues’s writing, characters, everything! I’m now kicking myself for […]
Okay, this is going to sound weird with my star rating, but I absolutely loved this book! Such a fun time, and the banter between Adrian and Isolde was everything! So, why did I rate it 3.5 stars? Well…that’s due to the plot. The story itself just felt pretty basic. Of course, romance and fantasy […]
You know those books that you just want to wrap yourself in and escape the real world into? This is definitely one of them for me! The whole Dangerous Damsels series is a world I would love to live in and befriend Charlotte, Cecilia, Alex, and Ned. As with the first one, this is definitely […]
