Twin Crowns short review

Turns out both my sisters read this book before me and didn't tell me how good it is! But I've finally read it and absolutely loved it.

I loved this book and it was fantastic. At Edinburgh Book Festival I went to the YA Book Prize event and it was really interesting to hear Katherine Webber talk about how this book came about and how her and Catherine Doyle wrote it and just included everything they love.

I love Wren and Rose as individuals, sisters and how they both develop, I have so many hopes for what will happen in book 2 with them. Rose discovered so much in this about who she is and what she wants, I'm so proud of her and can't wait to see how that continues as she begins to fight properly with Wren. I don't think Wren grew and learned as much in this book but she definitely still did and I think she might have more growth as the books continue and she's forced into these new situations without some people who have been key in her life up until this point. I also really enjoyed the romance and I look forward to seeing what directions it takes especially with Wren.

Other than this just being a fantastic book something else I really liked was the magic and the witches. It was really interesting to read about and I look forward to learning more about the different types of witches and how they can all use their powers. I think it would be really cool if one of each witch came together to fight common enemy.

This was a fantastic fantasy book that has me excited to read more and I can comnpletely understand the hype! Also book 3's cover - obssesed!! Now I need to work out what Waterstones edition to get.

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...

Daughter of the Pirate King book review

I was expecting to enjoy this book but nowhere near as much as I did and I really wished I could have given it five stars but it was just slightly off of the mark. Daughter of the Pirate King is the first book in a duology which follows Alosa who is the well-trained seventeen year old pirate daughter of the Pirate King himself, on a mission to find part of an ancient secret map on an enemy pirates ship. This is possibly the first pirate fantasy I’ve ever read, but I loved it and need to read more because there were so many fantastic elements in it that I want to read more. I also now want to read all of Tricia Levenseller’s backlist because of how stunning this book was and I want to see more of it continued in her other books, also the UK covers are absolutely stunning and I really want to own them all! There were twists in this book I was not expecting, characters I fell in love with and moments that made me really laugh. Alosa knew what she wanted and how to ...

The Eternal Ones book review

I may be posting this a month after I promised I would on my bookstagram but better late than never. If you want to see more of my immediate thoughts on this conclusion to a series I have been reading for years my booksta post is here . The Eternal Ones is the final book in the YA fantasy Deathless series by Namina Forna which follows Deka as she discovers more about the world and who she is. We follow on quickly after The Merciless Ones ended with no major plot points happening in between. As with the previous two books, there are many content warnings that come with the story, it doesn’t have any new strong ones so if you have read and been fine with the previous two you should be fine but if you are new to the series then I would recommend checking them out. Throughout the books we continue to follow Deka’s POV which works really well for the story as we discover so much and being in Deka’s head means we are kept in the know nd see how things and discoveries unrav...
