okay i did not expect that
alina awakens after her last fight with the darkling to find that she can't summon the sun anymore, but maybe a third amplifier can help her defeat him?
contrary to other books, i loved this one until the end jsjsj. it felt a tiny bit rushed as i read it, but now that i think about it, it seemed reasonable. also how come mal became a good character near the end when he had threeeeee books to do that. huh? tbh i really liked this magic system, a bit overdone and not the most original, but i thought the amplifiers were good.
honestly, for plot, this book would get like 3 stars maybe, but i'm giving it 4 stars because leigh bardugo got me so attached to the characters that they almost felt real. i teared up a few times. i don't have the words to say how much i missed magical fights istg. it's one of my favorite aspects of fantasy, and this book certainly served with it at the end.
the darkling is by far one of the best villains i have read in a while. he will literally not stop until he gets what he wants, and that makes him very frightening, in my opinion. the way baghra's story makes perfect sense with how the darkling sees the world around him and interacts with it definitely helped me understand his character. i think i could write a whole essay about him tbh.
i will say tho, i hate the "it was lost but we found it again" trope. if someone dies, leave them dead. if someone loses their abilities, don't just give them back to them. (view spoiler)[ i hated alina losing her powers at the end, just why? (hide spoiler)]
don't get me wrong, the series is good, but i think tiktok definitely overhyped it :P similarly to The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, which i didn't love

"A man so obsessed with holy fire should pay more attention to the smoke."
"In the end, maybe love just meant longing for something impossibly bright and forever out of reach."
"It may well take me another lifetime to break you, Alina, but I will put my mind to the task."
"How could he be so cruel and still so human?"
"I taught him the lesson my mother and father had taught me: to rely on no one. That love- fragile and fickle and raw- was nothing compared to power."

so, alina is away from ravka but not for long. she realizes she will have to be back in order to defeat the darkling, but who exactly would support a little girl who doesn't know half of what she's doing? pirates, that's right. nikolai says he's not a pirate but to me every time there's people fighting on boats, they're pirates (i'm aware that that's not how it works). this book is also v funny, there's moments where i literally stop to laugh before i continue reading. but you know what wasn't funny? whatever the darkling did to genya. i hate him so much istg.
anyways, after my extensive research (it wasn't extensive), i can see the way this book is inspired by russia n its culture n such. it's cool until you realise that you are rooting for the wrong side bc russia didn't fare well in the 1910's. but they didn't have alina so it's different. i'm excited for the firebird.
i was very much in a rush bc i have to leave in 30 mins and can't take books with me :P

i certainly enjoyed these more than i thought i would, and as i've said before, the book is beautifully illustrated, literally a work of art. i would recommend to all who loved the folk of the air trilogy and who loved cardan even more, i think it definitely provides some more depth to his character, and i really want to give him a hug. like a big one. plot-wise, nothing happens, so if you are debating whether you should read this book only on the chance that you'll see plot development, take that into consideration. i really loved this though. 3 stars because it wasn't complex or anything, it was something to read in one sitting (took me a bit less than an hour) for fun.

i will start by saying that the characters i loved (with the exception of one) died, so without further ado
Kell is one of the last Antari's, magiciansi will start by saying that the characters i loved (with the exception of one) died, so without further ado
Kell is one of the last Antari's, magicians able to travel across the different worlds/Londons. He has a bad habit of smuggling things in between his royal travels, which is sorta dangerous because the reason the worlds are closed off is bc otherwise they'd die, but he still does it. because why shouldn't he? this book is the answer to that question. turns out he smuggles something he really shouldn't have, and now he has to fix that, but our second protagonist, Lila Bard, gets involved right when it gets messy.
overall it's cool, sort of boring until the end. didn't stop me from reading it but didn't encourage me either, yk? characters felt a little 2D for my liking, but since it's a trilogy i'm hoping to see some improvement.

I did not see that coming. At all. I am still very much in shock. Taryn, I really really really dislike you. Anyways, this picked up in a sort of difficult situation from the past book and it did so wonderfully. Jude is by far one of the best characters I've read about, she's smart enough to (basically) rule Faerie, but still makes stupid mistakes like traveling alone and letting Locke live (I hate him too). Now, her relationship with Cardan is so complicated that I am starving for more, to see how they fix this and what becomes of them. I can't believe I pushed this series back so many time, when now it is certainly one of the best I have read and one of my favorites.

do not kill me, but the first half was worldbuilding and i was poking my eyes out of boredom.
anyways, SaB is about a girl called Alina who discovers late in her life that she has powers (i am not a fan of the "chosen one" trope and this felt like it so i'm not madly in love). she also discovers that not everything is what it seems, there's some boy-drama in the middle, and a plot twist i was expecting, but not like that.
i feel so manipulated and betrayed bksfiudaljdew. listen y'all, this is how you write a villain. the hatred i have for the darkling is unmatched. i do hope to see like why he is such a bitch but i am pretty content with his villainess(?).
"Fine, make me your villain."
↑ you've all seen that quote before so don't come crying saying i spoiled the book okay
I do have to say that at the begining this felt like any other fantasy book, and i felt like it didn't have anything that set it apart from other books, like maybe the grishas, but then i researched like all the words i didn't understand and found that "Instead of taking cues from western medieval fantasy stories, the Grishaverse is heavily influenced by Tsarist Russian and Slavic cultures and the historical “magic” of science and alchemy." i saw russia in world history, but the only thing i identified was that they called the queen "tsaritsa", sorry ale :P
i truly hope this series picks up in the next book pls. also mal is mid, i said what i said.
"We all did our part to bring about the end of the world."
"And mercy was something the Darkling would never understand."
"Do you think the world cares if you do your best? Do it again and do it right."
"'I've been waiting for you for a long time, Alina,' he said. 'You and I are going to change the world.'"
"I sometimes wonder how much we really understand our own gifts."
"I'm not Grisha. I'm a mapmaker. I'm not even a very good mapmaker."
Fahrenheit 451 is often heralded as a classic that critiques society, particularly regarding censorship and the dangerswhat. a. disappointing. ending.
Fahrenheit 451 is often heralded as a classic that critiques society, particularly regarding censorship and the dangers of a superficial, media-driven world. while i appreciate the attempt to tackle such significant themes, i found the execution lacking and, at times, problematic.
the story follows guy montag, a fireman whose job is to burn books in a dystopian future where reading is banned. as he begins to question his role in society, he encounters various characters that push him towards rebellion. however, despite its intriguing premise, the novel falls short in several areas.
first and foremost, the book's treatment of its female characters is disappointing. women in Fahrenheit 451 are largely depicted as shallow, conformist, and hysterical, with little depth or agency. this portrayal undermines the novel's broader social critique by reinforcing sexist stereotypes rather than challenging them. characters like mildred, montag's wife, are portrayed as mindless consumers, completely detached from reality, while clarisse, the young woman who sparks montag's transformation, is more of a plot device than a fully developed character (she’s also like a minor but montag finds her very attractive apparently).
the ending was particularly underwhelming. after building up to what seems like a potential revolution or significant change, the conclusion feels rushed and unsatisfying. there is a lack of resolution and depth, leaving me questioning what the book ultimately aimed to achieve.
"how many times can a man go down and still be alive?" this quote encapsulates my frustration with the protagonist's journey. while montag's struggle is supposed to be inspiring, it felt repetitive and, ultimately, ineffective.
overall, while Fahrenheit 451 raises important questions about society, censorship, and conformity, its execution and inherent sexism detract significantly from its impact, at least for me....more

I like this book immensely. I have no clue how Jude comes up with the plans she does, and how even when they backfire she manages to craft a new one. I love Cardan and the way he loves Jude. Taryn is okay I guess, and Heather is by far the best side character ever. This book concluded the series wonderfully and finally put everything in place. I am in love. I need more books like this one.

the seven husbands of evelyn hugo is a heart-wrenching, beautifully written novel that delves deep into the glitz and glamour of hollywood while expos the seven husbands of evelyn hugo is a heart-wrenching, beautifully written novel that delves deep into the glitz and glamour of hollywood while exposing the harsh realities behind the scenes. Taylor Jenkins Reid masterfully tells the story of evelyn hugo, a legendary actress who recounts her life story and the seven marriages that defined her career and personal life.
evelyn hugo is a complex and fascinating character. her unapologetic ambition, resilience, and vulnerability make her incredibly compelling. through evelyn's eyes, we see the reality of hollywood – a world where appearances are everything, and the truth is often hidden behind a facade of perfection. the book does a fantastic job of highlighting the sacrifices and compromises that come with fame, and how it affects personal relationships.
the writing is poignant and evocative, capturing the glamour and the grit of evelyn's life. the dual timeline narrative, switching between evelyn's past and the present day where she recounts her story to journalist monique grant, keeps the reader engaged and invested in both women's journeys.
the exploration of themes such as identity, love, and self-acceptance is handled with great sensitivity. evelyn's relationships, particularly with her true love, celia st. james, are portrayed with depth and authenticity. the book doesn’t shy away from depicting the challenges and prejudices they face, making their love story all the more impactful.
the quotes from the book resonate deeply and capture the essence of the characters and their experiences:
“The devastating luxury of panic overtook me. And it has never left.”
“Women have sex for intimacy. Men have sex for pleasure. That’s what culture tells us.”
“I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and could see, in no uncertain terms, that I was beautiful. But that didn’t mean anyone loved me.”
overall, the seven husbands of evelyn hugo is a powerful and moving read that stays with you long after you’ve finished reading. it’s a poignant reminder of the cost of fame and the strength it takes to live authentically. highly recommend, but be prepared for an emotional journey....more

while the plot is interesting, what i found had me hooked was understanding loki. i haven’t watched the series so i can only speak based off this book, but he really does try to be the best version of himself, people have just made him a villain without meeting him.

"Or maybe I admired her simply because she had no markings, no future, no dark realities awaiting her. Because she was free. Because her body was her own." (pg, 59)
Body of Stars is a dystopian novel written by Laura Maylene Walter, published on March 18th, 2021. The story is set in the future, where girls are born with the future etched into their skin, in the shape of moles and freckles. Their predictions change once they hit puberty, turning into their “adult markings” and solidifying their future. When a girl transcends from her childhood markings into her adult markings, she enters her changeling period, where, for a few weeks, she's irresistible to men. Changelings often go missing and return weeks later with bruises in their bodies and their marks copied and shared, printed into posters, comics or tarot cards. Society treats the freckles on girls' skin as a gift. While women have the future in their skin, it's not just theirs. The government carries out regular inspections of their marks until the girl becomes an adult, the father and mother have a traditional need to see their whole body to learn about their own future. They are seen as powerful and almost divine, but find themselves limited and objectified. The government sees this as a privilege, when for most girls it is a burden. “Above all, we implore changelings to recognize that the burden of maintaining purity rests on their own shoulders- it is the first grave responsibility they must face in their adult lives, and a modest price indeed for the privilege of holding the future in their skin.”(pg, 139) When abducted girls are returned to their normal lives once their changeling period is over, they find that there’s little they can actually return to. Abducted girls are blamed for what has happened to them. The crimes men commit against them are brushed off as unfortunate events, leaving the perpetrators free and the victims with the blame. These girls find that their life has been flipped upside down: they have to undergo a mandatory humiliating recovery process that treats them as fragile and broken. Their captors are able to copy their marks and similars onto elaborate posters and tarot cards for distribution without their consent. Colleges do not accept them, trying to keep their reputation intact. “‘I want to go to university,’ Glory said, without hesitation. ‘Oh, darling.’ The nurse sat back in her chair. ‘You know that’s impossible.’” (pg, 193) This book reflects our society in many ways, as men get away with much more and generally have more freedoms than the average woman. Women these days can feel like they have a lot of freedom, but when it comes down to it, it looks like men always win. In the book, women are accused of "allowing" the kidnappings, while women in today's society still say that it is "their fault" that they allowed what happened to them. In the book, in some countries, girls with marks of becoming housewives are denied access to education, a clever critique of the way women's choices are limited by factors they cannot control. The book also shines a light on how women support each other and how they’ve started to make changes to their own society to make it better. An example would be The Mountain School, a school that opens its doors to abducted girls and helps them through the recovery process, helping them finish their education and accompanying them when their markings are replicated on works of public display. There’s an ongoing theme of women without markings, fictional beings who are not tied to a destiny in their skin and who have control over their life and themselves. Women who were depicted in banners, and who made entire towns erupt over them and have them removed in a couple days. Something so strange, compared to the painting in museums that had markings, or the statues that have them chiseled into the marble. A statement. "A woman unmarked, a woman not restricted by either her own future or that of others. No one knew what to make of that." (pg, 343) This book will not be the one for everyone, it deals with topics that not all of us are ready to talk about. It is written to bring attention to a matter in a more accessible and entertaining way. It is a thought-provoking metaphor for the problems in our world and an idea for a change. “You are free. You are wild. You are, now and in the future, entirely your own.” (pg, 352)...more

this book made me cry a lot at the end. a lot. mia had found her family, jonnen had accepted her, the bloody maid had befriendgentlefriends, buckle up
this book made me cry a lot at the end. a lot. mia had found her family, jonnen had accepted her, the bloody maid had befriended her. but the maw didn’t agree. mia is and forever will be an icon, from telling the gods to solve their problems on their own (“Otherwise, you can sort your own fucking marriage.”) to deciding her own destiny.
this series taught me some lessons i never thought it would, and i loved the characters. i still miss maggot a lot, and don’t even mention ashlinn.
the fact that the nevernight chronicles are mercurio's promise to mia is what made me weep the worst. after so many plot twists and unexpected turns, this revelation caught me completely off guard. mercurio’s loyalty and love for mia, promising to tell her story, adds a profound emotional depth to the series. it's a testament to the bond they shared, and it brings the series full circle in the most heart-wrenching way.
Jay Kristoff's writing in darkdawn is as captivating as ever. he masterfully blends dark humor, intricate world-building, and intense emotion to create a finale that is both satisfying and devastating. the plot twists continue to surprise and thrill, keeping you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
mia corvere remains one of my favorite characters in fantasy. her journey from a vengeful girl to a legendary assassin and finally to a hero who forges her own path is inspiring and unforgettable. her development throughout the series is profound, and her ultimate decision to defy the gods and choose her own fate is a powerful conclusion to her story.
the supporting characters in darkdawn are also unforgettable. jonnen, the bloody maid, and even the minor characters like maggot, tric and ashlinn leave a lasting impression. their relationships with mia add depth and richness to the narrative, making every loss and victory feel deeply personal.
overall, darkdawn is a phenomenal conclusion to the nevernight chronicle. Jay Kristoff has created a dark, thrilling, and emotionally charged series that will stay with me for a long time. the writing is exquisite, the characters are unforgettable, and the plot twists are mind-blowing. if you're a fan of epic fantasy, this series is an absolute must-read.

I will start by saying that I need the following book NOW. Right now. Please.
In Spin the Dawn we follow the story of Maia, a tailor in a world where the position is reserved to men.

I really liked this story, and I loved to see how the MC can't just do stupid stuff because "tHeY'Re tHE mAiN ChaRActEr.". While there is definitely some romance in this story (and not enough fanart of it), the plot was still there and never relied on romance to keep things interesting.

4.5 but i round it up because i loved it
i will say, .5 of the score was lost because i felt as if it was too fast-paced. this beautiful book could’ve been a duology, giving us a bit more time to fully immerse ourselves in every new situation soraya is in.
anyways. i love this book. it was easy to understand the characters and their reasons, and i love their character development. as i learned more about their past, i understood why they had done what they had and even forgave some of them (emphasis on some).
the mc is bi which is perfect, and i love that at the end of the day the romance doesn’t overpower the plotline (i find it very annoying when it happens) but it’s still present and gives us tiny moments that make me feel all fuzzy inside :)
the atmosphere that Melissa Bashardoust creates is mesmerizing. the lush descriptions and intricate world-building draw you into soraya's world, filled with magic, danger, and beauty. the duality of soraya’s nature and her struggle with her curse are depicted with depth and sensitivity, making her a compelling and relatable protagonist.
the supporting characters are equally well-developed, each with their own motivations and complexities. their interactions with soraya drive the story forward and add layers of intrigue and emotion. the themes of identity, family, and the nature of good and evil are explored in a way that is both thought-provoking and engaging.
overall, Girl, Serpent, Thorn is a captivating and beautifully written story that i wholeheartedly recommend. its rich storytelling, memorable characters, and the enchanting blend of mythology and fantasy make it a standout read. while i wished for a slightly slower pace to savor the journey more, it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment....more
