-review- An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

- goodreads - -Walking along a blade's edge was only fun until the blade stopped being a metaphor.- Have you ever gotten a book based solely on the fact that you’re a fan of the cover art artist? Well, I hadn’t until I found out Charlie Bowater was the artist who designed the cover for this book and since I’m a really really big fan of her work I couldn’t not buy it. Even more so when I found out a little bit about how it had similarities with a book that’s a favorite of mine. I put it on hold because I was going through a YA reading slump but thankfully I’m glad and happy to say I really enjoyed it. It reminded me, the writing style, to Wintersong’s prose and tempo. The author was in no hurry to finish this book yet it was really short and somehow it just makes it that more alluring and unique. -They looked like a pair of cupids who had decided they liked shooting people with real arrows better. They were horrible. I loved them so much.- Isobel is a human wit...

-review- The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

- goodreads - "If I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse." What an amazing journey! What a treat! I am positively sure this is one of my favorite books of the year. It was so cruel and wicked and somewhat sexy and intense. Filled with lies and pixies and kings and princes and princesses and mortals and faerie lands, is no wonder I was thoroughly entertained. I wasn’t an instant fan of our leading girl Jude though I tried I am still on the fence but isn’t it an amazing thing to consider this book a favorite while not liking the main character that much? Such a feat has never been executed by any author I’ve ever read before hehe. "Only idiots aren't scared of things that are scary." And so many things to say about the ‘somewhat’ male lead!!!! He is such a charmer...NOT. BUT that makes him all the more real and unreal, see, this is FANTASY people and he’s supposed to be cruel. I mean for clouds’ sakes!!! The title of the b...

-review- A Court of Thorns And Roses by Sarah J. Maas

- Goodreads - "Don't feel bad for one moment about doing what brings you joy." Just as Feyre ... was that how it's spelled?? Mmmm But, just as she couldn't possibly imagine herself painting those colors, those courts, those eyes, that skin, that night, that water... I'll never be able to write a review that would make this book justice. What it made me feel, how far inside my mind it's been ingrained, how incredibly amazing the story and writing flowed, the way my heart constricted from pain or expanded from joy, how I cried or how I laughed, the sweet torture of not having the other books at the ready to devour, I truly truly never in my wildest bookish-dreams thought I'd like a book with kingdoms and magic involved as much as I liked this. So that's why I've been rendered completely speechless and thus wordless to even attempt a review. I savor red every single word I read. Really I did. I can't believe I waited so long...
