5/5: I have to preface this with the fact that I have never been judged in this fashion for my weight. I cannot discuss the particulars of a society dead set on believing that someone's weight has som...

4/5: I really liked this book! I would have liked it more if the book had acknowledged that ALL of the royals were wimps to some degree rather than trying to put Jet on a pedestal, but this is YA and...

3/5: I am a little on the fence about this book. On the one hand, it was written beautifully (BEAUTIFULLY) and I really liked Karou and Zuzana. On the other hand, the way it deals with racism and impe...

2/5: The good things! This book was compulsively readable. Compulsively. Surreal is a good thing all on her own. The books are internally consistent (I realize it's a low bar to clear, but give me...

1/5: How is this simultaneously the most boring and second most insulting book I may have ever read? Who knows. Maybe it's born with it, maybe it's the clear lack of editing. Review to come probably...

5/5: 4.5 and that's all she wrote. (no it isn't) I bought this one directly after finishing the first book, so that's nice. I'm a sucker for chicks being stone cold badass rulers who still try to ha...

4/5: WELP I've finally found a Jodi Meadows book I clicked with. The other books I've read by her haven't been bad at all, but I've never quite managed to get that sucked in, this is a book I hugely e...

3/5: Hello, friends. Pals. Loyal readers. It's been a bit. Sorry? THE REVIEW. My strongest emotion here is mild appreciation. There were a lot of fun moments in this book. There were a lot of meh thi...

1/5: I mentioned it elsewhere, but this will be the first time in a while I can't start a review with 'well it wasn't as bad as Throne of Glass'. This book is objectively worse than Throne of Glass, though it admittedly has fewer fragments, em-dashes, and ellipses. It is much more in-your-face racist, even more so than I originally thought, especially given the friends in India who kindly commented on my posts giving more information and context (link coming, but I continue to have technical difficulties. Suffice it to say that if you look up longsightmyth on tumblr and look for the tag 'other ...

2/5: Okay, you know what? This did manage to be better than Lightlark. I'm not going to go so far as to say it was good, because it wasn't, but it showed improvement. The Good Oh look, a plot! We ha...

3/5: The first several chapters of this book were fun because it felt like the author was having loads of fun writing it. Then we ran into the same problem as Court of Ruins, namely that the author ei...

1/5: Were this fanfiction of the witcher written by an enthusiastic young teenager I would congratulate them on their commitment to finishing a project and gently steer them towards classes and resour...

3/5: Every time I say review to come I have thoughts I forget to write a full review, so. The Good Much of this was engaging. The prose has pretty good flow when it's not throwing in swearing all ov...

2/5: I mean first thing's first: this clearly started life as a reylo fanfic. Now that I've noted that I can move on. I actually DID enjoy probably the first two thirds of this book (maybe first half...

1/5: I don't think I have anything original to say about this book. All of it has been said by plenty of other people, probably using better prose. Just like everything in this book has been said by ...

1/5: TW: mentions of rape I have conflicting feelings about a lot of YA in general. Most of the conflicting feelings stem from the treatment of female characters and/or feminist/attempted feminist me...
