High Tide Plots || Foul Lady Fortune Review

High Tide Plots || Foul Lady Fortune Review

Initial Thoughts This book was sitting comfortably for me at maybe a 3/3.5 until 250 pages later when things took an absolute turn. For the longest time I hadn't been attached to Rosalind, and half the character arcs had me absolutely confused as to what their necessity was in the book. But MY GOD, how [...]

Mini Reviews: This Woven Kingdom, Sin and Syntax

There was a lot of things I could have said about one book, and almost nothing I could say about another. So, with a merry compromise, I've said just about the right amount of things about both! I honestly would have DNFed This Woven Kingdom if I wasn't buddy reading it with two other people. [...]

Blooming Amaryllis || Forget Me Not Review

Initial Thoughts Laughing crying screaming swooning fanning throwing up. There. I did it. I finished this book and absolutely loved it. And not just because of personal bias. Or just because the cover artwork has me on a permanent chokehold. Or or or...yeah, this was a second chance romance I could get behind. And that's [...]

Rebel, Guard || Seven Faceless Saints Review

Initial Thoughts So far I've seen polarizing reviews over this book, and my initial thoughts looking at the cover and reading the synopsis was along the lines of a resigned, "Oh great. Another story revolving a conflict of a religious nature. Haven't I read enough of that this month?!" But despite the straightforward and rather [...]

A Poison Court || The Foxglove King Review

A Poison Court || The Foxglove King Review

Initial Thoughts This book at the end had me going absolutely FERAL. 3 am in the morning and hoping my neighbors didn't hear me screaming and smacking at my pillow because of how riled up I got with what just happened. But I mean, DAMN. I enjoyed this book, despite my annoyance at the love [...]

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?!
