I’m Not Crying You Are || Crooked Kingdom Review

Initial Thoughts I have been wrecked, robbed of all sorts of things, and I should have expected this because the entire book is about THIEVES. But seriously, my emotions have gone haywire, and I am utterly hoping this is not the end of the stories coming from the Crows. Because I am SO DEEPLY ATTACHED [...]

Food and Fandom: Little Ravkan Delights

I swear, every time I see Russian-inspired foods in a book, I go out of my way to try to make it. I managed to do this same thing when reading Katherine Arden's The Bear and the Nightingale trilogy (although I think it's called the Winternight trilogy). So it's no surprise that when reading Crooked [...]

If the demon Brekker [...]

Four Million Kruge || Six of Crows Review

Initial Thoughts: The hype just came back up because of an upcoming Netflix show, but I persisted in this train because I did love the original Grisha trilogy, and for chrissakes, this book is a HEIST FANTASY and I effing love heist stories. And I love the characters in this book. I love them so [...]

Mari

Mari-with-an-I prefers her fantasies drenched in oil and fried up in faerie, but when that’s not the case, she’ll read it anyway. She likes writing what she reads, and likes baking while she writes. She’s written a few things for anthologies, including an anthology that got translated into Czech (I know, right?! Eeeeee!), and if you haven’t read them yet, she urges you to do so! Who knows, there might be a few cookies waiting for you at the end of the read.

…Or not. (Blast her pet steampoctopus for eating them all!)

4 cookies = Book was great and certainly worth the read.

3 cookies = Book was good but I expected better.

2 cookies = Meh.

1 cookie = Why did I even bother?!
