Winter's Orbit is a quick, refreshing, and delightful book full of sweet slow-burn, nuanced romance wrapped in an intriguing, twisty space opera.
Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell
Threadneedle by Cari Thomas (The Language of Magic #1)
Although I wished for a more mature feel to the story, Threadneedle is a bewitching debut enthralling and strongly imaginative enough to bind me in its spell. With such sumptuous magic, richly drawn characters, splendid villains, and seductive prose, how could it not?
2020 Year in Review: Turbulent Highs, Lows, and a Preview of What’s Next
In which I pour out my heart about how I've felt about 2020, revisit some of my 2020 reads, and talk about what's next for this bookish space in 2021.
Reaper of Souls by Rena Barron (Kingdom of Souls #2)
This roaring sequel to Kingdom of Souls is a much more intimate, emotional, and character-driven book that tells its dark plot exceptionally well with the depth and nuance it deserves.
The Two-Faced Queen by Nick Martell (The Legacy of Mercenary Kings #2)
Although I was left longing for more of this book's titular character's presence, The Two-Faced Queen is a strong, wild follow up to the Kingdom of Liars expanding on what its author does well: compelling characters and narratives; and strong, evocative world-building that only continues to grow richer as it expands its scope.
