“No vow, no matter what it compels from me, will be more important than the one I’ve made to love you.”
Empire of Sand is Tasha Suri's debut novel and “No vow, no matter what it compels from me, will be more important than the one I’ve made to love you.”
Empire of Sand is Tasha Suri's debut novel and it was really fantastic! It is a book inspired by India’s history, epics and myths and set in the Mughal Empire, while the Hindu belief and epics influenced the magic system. It was such a mesmerizing story and despite not being a fast-paced book, I loved it nonetheless. The characters were portrayed very well, with their strength and flaws, and I loved Mehr and Amun with all my heart. These two deserve all the happiness of this world ❤️...more

WHOA! WHAT A BOOK!!
Gosh, I'm still recovering from this incredible story! Usually, mysteries and murders aren't my cup of tea but this one was freaking brilliant! I haven't read such a gripping story in ages! Seriously, I couldn't put it down! I don't know how the author was capable of creating such an intricate and complex story but he did, and the result blew my mind! There were so many revelations and plot twists that was impossible to guess who the assassin was. It was like reading one of the Agatha Christie's books with a sci-fi aspect, very original! If you want to read a riveting book, I highly recommend this one!...more
"It doesn't matter if I'm pretending to be Ping or if I'm Mulan. As long as I am true to myself, then my reflection will show who I really am."
Oh guys"It doesn't matter if I'm pretending to be Ping or if I'm Mulan. As long as I am true to myself, then my reflection will show who I really am."
Oh guys, you can't even imagine all the feels I'm having right now! Mulan is my fave Disney movie of all time and reading this retelling was an explosion of them, over and over again! I looved it! I loved how the author intertwined the events and quotes of the original story with the new one! It was such an incredible journey through the Underworld, and I loved Mulan all the same! She's always so brave and selfless, and ready to fight to help her friends and family. This is why I love her character, she's a role model to me. Even if she is "only" a woman, she makes her own choices no matter what, no matter what the others think. And you can't help but admire her for this! So, if you love her you need to read this book as well!...more

WHOA! This book was AWESOME! When I decided to read Children of Blood and Bone, I didn't know what to expect... but surely I didn't know I'd loved it SO much! This book has everything one could ask for: strong characters, a beautiful and rich worldbuilding, action, magic, friendship, a little bit of romance and so much more! Plus, we have finally a book with African characters and settings! And I really, really appreciated this choice! Seriously, this story was a breath of fresh air! I highly recommend it to you! All the hype it had was totally deserved! Can't wait to see what will happen next! Well done, Tomi Adeyemi. Well done....more

Laini Taylor never ceases to amaze me. When I think she can't outdo herself, she surprises me once again. Her imagination is endless, her stories are always full of magic and her writing style is as lyrical as a poem. Muse of Nightmare was a rollercoaster of emotions (a particular story broke my heart and I sobbed towards the end) and I wish it wasn't already over. But I know something else will come, maybe another story set in this world, and I'm ready to dive into it again ❤...more

[...] I am a daughter of the desert, and my feet will never fail me.”
You know what? Sometimes, to be a great character you don't always need to be a badass hero. You still can be one just showing your inner strength. Reign the Earth was an example.
I looved this book! It was great in so many ways! I loved the story with the elemental magic, the setting and worldbuilding, the writing style and the characters! Shalia was strong, brave and steadfast and she didn't submit to her husband's will (he need to die slowly and painfully, btw) no, she fought for what she thought was right and fair, even at the cost of her life, and I loved her for this. But what I adored most were the relationships she had with her family, brothers, friends, real love interest and even her loyal guards. These bonds were portrayed so well that I couldn't help but relate to her. The romance, the real one, was incredibly sweet and emotional and I shipped them so freaking much! Everything was intertwined so well that the result was incredible! If you haven't read this book yet, do yourself a favor and read it because it's absolutely worth it! I cannot wait to read the next installment!...more
THIS BOOK WAS THE PERFECTION! I don't know if I'll ever be able to write a coherent comment, bRating: THE WHOLE UNIVERSE!
“Live a life worth dying for.”
THIS BOOK WAS THE PERFECTION! I don't know if I'll ever be able to write a coherent comment, because this series is seriously one of the BEST! Obsidio was the perfect conclusion to an EPIC trilogy and words cannot describe how much I loved it! In this book you'll find everything you could hope for: friendship, love, loss, pain, hope and second chances. I cared about everything and everyone, and now that the story is over I know I'm going to miss all of them! Thank you Jay and Amie for this beautiful and incredible journey! Thank you so much.❤...more

And for those who "Justice isn't about fixing the past, it's about fixing the future. We're not fighting for the dead. We're fighting for the living. And for those who aren't yet born."
I wasn't sure I would have reached the end alive because... DAMN YOU PIERCE, YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK! YOU CAN'T PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS *breathesdeeply*
So, what can I say? Morning Star was a great conclusion to an extraordinary series! It was an escalation of action, plot twists, deaths (...you sadist man), battles, plot twists, emotional moments, plot twists (have I already said that? it's not my fault, there were a lot) and I was constantly sitting on the edge of my seat! I'm glad I finally managed to read this trilogy, because I understand why the others love it. And now, I'm so looking forward to read Iron Gold and see what he has stored for us (and I bet more suffering is coming, right?)....more
