Book Review: A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe by Alex White
A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe is a book that caught my eye with its gorgeous cover, amazing blurbs (Nicholas Eames!), and fun premise. Despite buying it over a year ago, it sat on my shelf until January (typical) when I picked it up for a buddy read with my friend and… Continue reading

Book Review: The Toll by Neil Schusterman
The Arc of the Scythe series is a funny one for me, because while I really enjoyed the second book, Thunderhead, I nearly didn’t read it. Scythe had a great concept but I felt the main characters were poorly executed and Schusterman didn’t let his amazing worldbuilding and ideas shine. Therefore The Toll had a… Continue reading

Book Review: The Shadow Saint by Gareth Hanrahan
The Gutter Prayer tied for my #1 book of 2019, alongside The Bone Ships, and I was eagerly awaiting the release of The Shadow Saint. I was worried that the second book wouldn’t live up to Hanrahan’s incredible debut, however I should have had more faith! The Shadow Saint is a very different, but equally… Continue reading

Book Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
Skyward was one of my favourite books of 2018 from one of my favourite authors. Brandon Sanderson never fails to write an engaging and exciting book, and his shift from adult fantasy into YA science fiction was an absolute delight. Naturally, I was beyond excited to read the sequel, Starsight. While I really enjoyed this… Continue reading

Book Review: The Night Country by Melissa Albert
I had mixed feelings about reading The Night Country, given my disappointment with The Hazel Wood, but I wanted to give it a try because I did enjoy some parts of the first book. Reading The Night Country gave me deja vu: once again, I mostly enjoyed the first half of the book, but it… Continue reading

Book Review: Infinity Son by Adam Silvera
I’ve never read an Adam Silvera book, as he tends to write contemporary YA, but I’ve heard good things about his stories and writing. Naturally, I snapped up the opportunity to read his first fantasy novel, Infinity Son. I didn’t really know what to expect going into this book, but found Infinity Son to be… Continue reading

Book Review: Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan
Girls of Paper and Fire has been on everyone’s lips ever since its publication was announced in 2018. As an f/f romance set in an east Asian-inspired imperial court that deals with the trauma of rape and sexual assault, it got a lot of attention and hype from the YA book community. As excited as… Continue reading

Mini Reviews: The ABC Murders and Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie
It’s once again time for some mini reviews! In October I read a ton of crime fiction, and Agatha Christie is naturally part of that list. The ABC Murders and Murder in Mesopotamia are both good books, but not my favourites from her backlist. Check out my thoughts on these two Hercule Poirot books below! Continue reading
