Reviews:


- Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi - An incredible, fast paced, action packed #OwnVoices high fantasy! So, so good!
- A Spark of White Fire by Sangu Mandanna -
- - An enjoyable, quick read full of family drama, politics, and the promise of war!
- Damsel by Elana K. Arnold - An important story, and one everyone should read, but I also expected more. Not a huge amount actually happens.
- Sadie by Courtney Summers - Such an incredible story! It's absolutely heartbreaking and terrifying, but also so beautiful. I can't stop thinking about it.
- Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake - A powerful and emotional story, but not the story I was expecting. Not much happens, and I was expecting more in regards to how Mara and Owen's relationship changes. Kind of disappointed.
