Has she been sent to save the realm or destroy it?
With that tagline I knew I was going to eat this story up, and it delivered!
A romantic and adventurous read, filled with stakes and rich world building, I really enjoyed this tale of political intrigue and power. … More The Curse of Saints by Kate Dramis│Review
I cannot fully articulate how much I loved this book. I didn’t sleep, I didn’t eat, and when I finished I had the overwhelming urge to just start it all over again to dampen the pain of waiting for the next book. (I did, in fact, start it again). It’s the kind of book that has your staring into space after you finish, unable to accept that it’s not real. It immediately made it into my favourite list; it is also highly possible it will be the best book I read this year. … More Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros│Review
Providing a fresh and new take on a dragon shifter story this was a quick and intriguing read. The premise is what caught me first – dragons, thieves, and bonds that have stakes so high the world depends on them! … More Dragonfall by L. R. Lam│Review
Where do I begin? Bewilderment was a beautiful book – moving, transformative in its prose, and deeply luminous. After finishing I had to take a week to process what I had read before even beginning to sit down and write my thoughts. I still don’t think this review will do the book justice. Simply put I have found my favourite book of 2021. … More Bewilderment by Richard Powers │ Review

Summer is starting and there are lots of great new releases! If only the British weather would stop raining, reading in the sun would be amazing right now. This month I’ve found it difficult to narrow down my most anticipated reads so there is a grand total of 11 books. There are a couple of thrillers which sound great, not my usual genre of choice, but I have definitely been swept up in the hype. … More June New Releases │ 2021
To start off my miniseries on the Women’s Prize for Fiction Shortlist I read No one is talking about this by Patricia Lockwood. … More no one is talking about this by Patricia Lockwood │ Women’s Prize for Fiction Shortlist Review #1
I’m back! It’s been a couple of weeks but I’m pleased to say I have completed yet another year of University👏🏻. This year was particularly challenging and I am proud of myself for pushing through.

I thought it was finally time I read this well loved book! Especially with the release of a new book in the series … and because Fairyloot will be selling a special edition set 👀.
