The Blood Traitor by Lynette Noni, The Prison Healer #3

April 25, 2024 – May 2, 2024 Wow. That’s all I have to say. This was such a good trilogy! Like me asking for it for Christmas so I can reread it good. Everyone who likes YA Fantasy should read this. Besides her being a fantastic author who did everything right plot-wise, I LOVED how …

The Gilded Cage by Lynette Noni, The Prison Healer #2

April 15, 2024 – April 23, 2024 This took me FOREVER to read, and it wasn’t because it was a bad boring book. It was actually the opposite and was a fantastic read. SO why did it take me so long? I was dragging my feet simply because this was a second book in a …

Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson, The Stormlight Archive #2

March 11, 2024 – April 21, 2024 Ah yes, another six stars. Why do I say that? Well I started this book with the goal of reading fifteen pages a day, there were a couple times where I struggled with that. But over all I BLEW that goal out of the water and finished way …

A Thousand Steps into Night by Traci Chee

March 19, 2024 – March 26, 2024 This book was another one that was for book club but was recommended by a friend after confirming that it was “safe.” You have no idea the thrill I get when I hear those words: “This book is safe.” And like a lemming, I proceed to throw myself …

Newsletter Ninja 2: If You Give a Reader a Cookie: Supercharge Your Author Mailing List With the Perfect Reader Magnet by Tammi Labrecque

February 23, 2024 – March 12, 2024 This had some useful information but I’m glad I got it from the library instead of buying it.

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, The Stormlight Archive #1

January 28, 2024 – March 10, 2024 When I first read this book years ago I was enraptured by it the whole time. The world, the characters, the magic, the philosophy of what he is trying to say, all of it just was perfect. And that last battle, when he says the words… I said …

Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory by Martha Wells, The Murderbot Diaries #4.5

February 20, 2024 – February 20, 2024 This one was a five because it is Murderbot, but I honestly didn’t like it as much as the other ones. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that it was in third person and not even Murderbot’s perspective, and all the pronouns and names and …

The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni, The Prison Healer #1

January 30, 2024 – February 10, 2024 This was easily a five-star book. After the disappointment of the last two books reading an author who actually knew what they were doing was more than refreshing. The pacing was perfect as was the placement of each plot reveal. She waited to introduce the magic so it …

Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer, Defy the Night #1

January 14, 2024 – January 30, 2024 Didn’t finish. Slow beginning with info dumping in the beginning things that should have been revealed gradually later on. Probably was a longer book but had to be cut, hence the rush to tell things. Didn’t hold my interest.
