Review: The Silvered Serpents by Roshani Chokshi
...I'm honestly kind of speechless. The Gilded Wolves was good but in a more fun kind of way. I was especially impressed by the characters, and found the rest of the story to be pretty solid and entertaining, but not much more. This book, however...wow.
Maybe for girls made of snow, love was worth the melt. But she was made of stolen bones and sleek fur, grave dirt and strange blood—her heart wasn’t even hers to give. Her soul was all she had, and no love was worth losing i

Review: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (Spoiler-Free)
It's hard to review classics, so I will keep it brief. In short, I adored the lessons learned in this book and found it extraordinary to think that the lives of those living in the 19th century can so well apply to those of the 21st.
