Supernova Book Review

 Finally a five stars.

Finally a five stars, that's how I started my review and it's true. Supernova is the fourth Marissa Meyer book I've read and my first five stars.

I have kept this review free of spoilers for Renegades, Archenemies, and Supernova.

Supernova is the final book in the Renegades trilogy, which is a YA fantasy, dystopian series about a world with superheroes. The series follows Nova a prodigie, someone with special abilities, an Archanist and someone firmly against the Renegades, the prodigies who lead society.

The main characters of Supernova are Adrian and Nova, just like the previous two books but in Supernova I would say many of the side characters start to take shape and take on their own role.

To me Marissa Meyer's characters always feel real and likeable, this book is no exception, though Nova did do somethings that really annoyed me but I understood why she did it even if I didn't agree with what she was doing.

There was a lot I liked about this book, some of my favourite parts being Adrian and Nova's relationship and anything Max was in, I think he may be my favourite character to be honest. While there were things that annoyed me and some of my pet peeves were definitely in this book there was nothing major I disliked, it was all the odd little thing here and there.

I do just want to talk about that epilogue, Marissa Mayer has to be writing at least one more book, she can't leave us like that. 

I would highly recommend this series to any YA fantasy or dystopian reader and would happily give it to a younger (probably around 11+) reader, it is clean and action packed with nothing that would put me off giving it to an eleven year old. A book deserving of 5 stars.

I think this length will be the length of my reviews from now on, I really struggle to writing longer reviews.

The Match book review

  Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it.  The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family.  This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

The Mistletoe Motive book review

  I discovered Chloe Liese for the first time this year and have since May read her entire backlist and loved all of them. The Mistletoe Motive was no exception to this and another one I read within 24 hours.  Over the course of The Mistletoe Motive we get to know Gabrielle and Jonathan who have worked together at Bailey’s Bookshop for about a year but don’t find themselves getting along. They have recently learned that the bookshop is at risk of closing though and set a challenge of whoever sells the least books in December has to resign and through this challenge Gabrielle meets a new side of Jonathan that she didn’t expect.  This is a novella of under 200 pages so while going in I knew I love Chloe Liese as an author I wasn’t sure what I would think of it with it being so short and having less time with the characters. However I was not at all let down by this book and absolutely loved reading it.  Gabrielle was a character I connected to from early on in the stor...

It Only Happens in the Movies book review

  I have previously loved Holly Bourne books but found that I wasn’t the biggest fan of the one I read in 2024 so was a bit anxious going into It Only Happens in the Movies however I had no need for that anxiety because this book was exactly what I wanted and more.  It Only Happens in the Movies follows Audrey who is over romance after her parents divorce that has left her stuck in the middle, a tough break up and teenage friendship struggles. When she starts a new job and meets Harry, Audrey tries to stay away however she can’t help falling for him even if she knows she shouldn’t.  When I first started I was unsure about the book with the elements of romance however I was pleasantly surprised. Holly Bourne built up a character who I understood and felt relatable. The book had the expected message present in almost all Holly Bourne books which made the story more impactful and me wanting to keep reading to see how things worked out.  All the characters were well-deve...
