Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (Spoiler-Free)
Reread 2019:
Still 5 stars and it might now be worth 10 stars, or a million stars. I will never be over this book and these characters. 🌟 When I love a book this much I cannot write a proper review of it that conveys all my feelings to the extent that I feel like it should. Other people could put the greatness of this book into words in ways that I can’t, so I would recommend that you read their reviews instead about this absolute masterpiece. The only other thing I can t

Review: The Wicked King by Holly Black (Spoiler Alert)
** spoiler alert ** My immediate reaction to finishing this book:
No. N-O. NOOOOOOOOOO. How could it end like this??? How am I supposed to wait a whole year, AGAIN, for the sequel and resolution to that CLIFFHANGER??????????

Review: Forever by Maggie Stiefvater (Spoiler-Free)
Let me preface this review by describing how much this book exceeded my expectations: I went into this book convinced that I would enjoy it, but not necessarily love it, and that finishing the series would be a bit of a chore. I had a plan to just read this book as the end of the trilogy and not bother with Sinner. That plan has now been shattered to pieces.

Review: The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi (Spoiler-Free)
Note: If you want to read a discussion with my spoilery thoughts, head on over to my GoodReads page here. Also, thank you so much to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press Wednesday Books for supplying me with an ARC (advanced reader's copy) of this book for review. RELEASE DATE: January 15, 2019 This was quite great, and I was not expecting that. I have no idea why, but I went into this book expecting not to like it that much, probably because of the time period it takes place in.
