Wrath and Vengeance || Kingdom of the Cursed

January 26, 2023January 19, 2023by Mari1 Comment on Wrath and Vengeance || Kingdom of the Cursed
Wrath and Vengeance || Kingdom of the Cursed

Initial Thoughts Alright, hear me out. HEAR ME OUT. I set about this book having been edged to insanity in the first book (which I thought had some older YA vibes), so I was hoping something would happen in this one. But DAMN I was NOT expecting the continual escalation and WRATH HAS FOREVER RUINED [...]

Mini Reviews: Arsenic and Adobo, Beautiful Creatures

I actually read these two books on my prolific reading month of September. Because I'd read copiously in the last two months, I kind of did stumble into books that were really just meh for me. Maybe at a different time, I might have actually liked these, but right now, the rest of the series [...]

Blood and Shadows || The Book of Night Review

Blood and Shadows || The Book of Night Review

Initial Thoughts: I think I've solved my Holly Black beginning-book problems, because she did the EXACT SAME THING to me in The Cruel Prince and--to a lesser extent--Tithe. Book of Night was definitely on the slow end, and while it picked up for me a third in, it sputtered again in the middle. However, I [...]

The Maiden and the Guard || From Blood and Ash Review

The Maiden and the Guard || From Blood and Ash Review

Initial Thoughts So I probably enjoyed this much more than I thought I would, especially when I found out it was practically a vampire/werewolf book (which, when you put it THAT WAY, I'm not heavily opposed to). But it was a HIGH FANTASY ROMANCE. Other than Amanda Bouchet, I haven't read those in a while, [...]

Mini Reviews: Ignite Me, These Vicious Masks

Mini Reviews: Ignite Me, These Vicious Masks

Catching up to my "to review" list is almost as bad as trying to catch up to my TBR list. Okay, maybe not AS BAD, but it's gotten to the point where I have to do minis instead of full-on reviews (which I much prefer, because then I can rant a little longer). Then again, [...]

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!)

Reading Ratings (in Cookies)

5 cookies = Book was so deliciously awesome that I couldn't put it down or get it out of my mind for a while.

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?!
