REVIEW | Babel | R.F. Kuang

Once again, R.F. Kuang has ruined my life with this beautiful, brilliant piece of writing. From the first announcement, I was waiting anxiously for this and I devoured it in a few days - with an awful lot of tears. I just know that R.F. Kuang is going to be one of those insta-buy authors for me forever. Rating: 5 stars.

REVIEW | Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor | Xiran Jay Zhao | Zachary Ying #1

I got two chapters into this book and I knew it was going to be a new favourite. I'm a huge, huge Percy Jackson fan, so I was nervous and excited when I heard this book hyped as Chinese Percy Jackson meets Yugioh. I shouldn't have been nervous, Xiran Jay Zhao writes perfect books and I was wrong to doubt them. ZACHARY YING AND THE DRAGON EMPEROR is my new middle-grade obsession and I need everyone to read this immediately.

REVIEW | The Discord of Gods | Jenn Lyons | A Chorus of Dragons #5

This book was everything I ever wanted. I won't pretend I didn't feel extreme trepidation when it came to reading the final instalment in my favourite fantasy series of all time. But I should never have doubted Jenn Lyons. THE DISCORD OF GODS is a perfect conclusion to a spectacular series, and I know that this series is going to be my chunky comfort reads for a long time now.

REVIEW | The City of Dusk | Tara Sim | The Dark Gods #1

I absolutely devoured THE CITY OF DUSK in two days, which even I was impressed by considering it's a hell of a chonky book. I've been on a huge adult fantasy kick lately, and when I spotted this one in Waterstones I knew I had to have it. I really loved Tara Sims' SCAVENGE THE STARS series, and everything I heard about this book made me more excited for it. It held up to my hopes, and I already can't wait for the next book in this new series.

REVIEW | The Mask of Mirrors | M.A. Carrick | Rooks & Rose #1

I picked up THE MASK OF MIRRORS in a 99p ebook sale because Alex told me that he liked it a lot. I didn't really know much about it, other than that I love Orbit fantasy a lot and I trust Alex's taste. It was kind of a revelation to me how much I enjoyed this book - especially considering that I dnf'd one of the co-author's other books. I really enjoyed the entire premise of this - especially when it went in completely a different direction than I expected.

REVIEW | This Wicked Fate | Kalynn Bayron | This Poison Heart #2

I read and reviewed This Poison Heart last year, after loving Cinderella is Dead, so when I saw This Wicked Fate appear on Netgalley I knew I had to have it. This is the final part of the This Poison Heart duology and it's a fitting end to this fantastic fantasy series steeped in magic, …
