Book Review | Star Wars The High Republic: Into the Dark by Claudia Gray

01.22.2021 by Kari // Leave a Comment

***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Star Wars The High Republic: Into the Dark by Claudia Gray from NetGalley through Disney Lucasfilm Press for review purposes. Thank you so much for opportunity.

I’ve been in such a Star Wars mood lately! All thanks to my husband, who is making his way chronologically through every Star Wars book. We also watched Clone Wars and Rebels rather recently and the stories in those really got my hooked as well.

I haven’t had the pleasure of reading Claudia Gray’s other Star Wars books, however, this one has definitely sealed my fate.

Book Review | The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

09.01.2020 by Kari // 1 Comment

This book had been on my TBR pile for a few years, ever since I heard Lin-Manuel Miranda was supposed to have a hand in a TV adaptation of it. I am a sucker for LMM and would listen to him perform the dictionary because he could rock that. (I don’t actually know if this still a thing, but at the time it was.)

I was pleasantly surprised to see how popular this was on bookstagram! It took me about three years to finally get to it and about five months to actually read it, but it was definitely worth it! I’m so excited to continue the series.

Blog Tour | Review – Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles

08.26.2020 by Kari // Leave a Comment

***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles from NetGalley through Wednesday Books for review purposes. Thank you to Wednesday Books for the opportunity!

For an excerpt of this amazing book, be sure to check the end of the post!

I’ve heard this book be compared to Moulin Rouge and Caraval mixed together. While I haven’t read Caraval yet (I know, I know it’s on my TBR!), you had me at that comparison! This definitely did not disappoint!

Book Review | The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

08.24.2020 by Kari // Leave a Comment

***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones from NetGalley and Gallery/Saga Press for review purposes. Thank you very much!

I really love a good horror story and it’s sometimes difficult to find horror books because they are mixed in with general fiction. Thankfully, I follow some amazing people on bookstagram that can give me recommendations. I’m actually proud of myself because I saw this one myself and had to give it a try… I was not disappointed!

Book Review | Ruthless Gods by Emily A. Duncan

06.08.2020 by Kari // Leave a Comment

***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Ruthless Gods by Emily A. Duncan from NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for review purposes. Thank you so much!

I was able to get an early look at Wicked Saints last year, so I’m so grateful that I was able to get to do the same with the sequel! The first book was super enjoyable, however, I believe this time the sequel was even better.

 There will be slight spoilers in this review.

Book Review | The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller

05.15.2020 by Kari // Leave a Comment

The fact that anyone can pass up a story that is described as a “Slytherin romance” is beyond me. Maybe it’s a guilty pleasure, but all I know is that it’s fun and enjoyable, and that’s all that matters.

I really enjoyed Daughter of the Pirate King. While Levenseller’s other books are on my ongoing TBR list, this book reminded me of how fun her writing is while simultaneously reminding me that I need to read her other two books as soon as possible!

Book Review | Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

05.12.2020 by Kari // Leave a Comment

815DVMYkIIL I love Sarah J. Maas. I am #maastrash, but not as big as some people are. Yet I will read pretty much anything she puts out.

My first series of hers was actually ACOTAR because I started reading last year around the time A Court of Frost and Starlight came out. I finally made my way to Throne of Glass last year and I recent reread via Audible made me want want to write this review. It reminded me of how much I love the world Maas built and the awesomeness that is Celaena Sardothien.
