Review: State of Sorrow by Melinda Salisbury
I didn’t know much about State of Sorrow going in. Not only did I completely misread the blurb when the book was announced (I thought it was a contemporary book — don’t ask), I just picked it up on blind faith due to the cover and the author. I enjoyed The Sin Eater’s Daughter and… Continue reading

Review: An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
I’ll be the first to admit it: I bought An Enchantment of Ravens because of its beautiful cover. I don’t think I’m the only one either — I kept seeing people raving about the book’s cover rather than the story inside. This ended up being a strange one for me — I initially really struggled… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 05 January 2017
Happy Friday! The first work week of the year is very nearly over and I’m so glad! I’ve had some serious trouble adjusting from Holiday Justine back into Real Person Justine.

Book Review: Night of Cake and Puppets
I read Daughter of Smoke and Bone earlier this year and wasn’t really impressed by it. I had major issues with the main character Karou going from kickass lady to puddle of tepid water as soon as the romance was introduced. While I loved Taylor’s gorgeous writing, I really struggled with the romantic aspects of… Continue reading

Review: Daughter of Smoke and Bone
I initially avoided Daughter of Smoke and Bone because, well, I really hated the US cover. Shallow? Absolutely. However I recently read Taylor’s newest novel, Strange the Dreamer, and was swept away by her marvellous writing skills. I decided to backtrack and dive into her best known series. Continue reading

It’s Friday, the happiest day of the week! I didn’t do a weekly wrap-up last week because the last day of the month fell on a Friday – you can read my June round-up here. It has been a tough week for reading and blogging because of general life things (again, all good stuff), but… Continue reading
