Cursed Crowns book review



 I met Katherine Webber at Edinburgh Book Festival in August (amazing person who was right about how much I should look forward to what happens in this book)and read Twin Crowns at the end of the month so I was ready to know what would happen next.

Cursed Crowns leads on pretty much immediately after Twin Crowns ends and keeps up that fast pace throughout the book. I can’t say much about the plot without spoiling Twin Crowns but for the majority of the book Wren and Rose are split up going down different paths and making different discoveries. We meet new characters and make some massive discoveries about some who we already knew. I was in no way let down by this book which I am very grateful for. 


I have devoured both these books and need to know how the story will end. There were many parts of this I loved including the world, characters and romance. While Wren and Rose are very different and do tend to go about things differently, I love how much they are starting to mean to eachother and watching the bond between them develop. 


Both of the main romance stories are ones I’m invested in and there’s one I feel quite confident about where as with the other one, I’m really hoping everything works out in Burning Crowns because I love it but it doesn’t feel like we have any guarantees yet. 


We met new characters and discovered new places over the course of this book too. I love Lei Fan but I can’t say the same about all of her family. Along with those twists and what they likely mean. While my sister may have spoiled some for me she did not take away from the enjoyment of reading those last 100 pages. 


So many things are currently going on meaning that I have lots of questions for book 3 and high hopes. 


I am obsessed with this series and desperate to know how it will end. A UKYA series I won’t stop recommending anytime soon.

As Good As Dead short review

Image
  This is the third book in the A Good Girls Guide to Murder series and I was very excited to see what was going to happen and where it was going to go. This book also didn't disappoint, I didn't expect it to take the direction it did and there were some bits that terrified me but I did still rate it 5 stars.  I had so many feelings when reading this, I loved some bits and how the characters have evolved, terrified about what was going on and then heartbroken by parts of the ending. The characters have grown and evolved so much in this series and I love how much they have grown, I also hope they get a break after everything that they've been through.  This book took a dark turn and I can't say I didn't like it. I don't know if it was my favourite when it first happened, but the way it continued on and led to the ending I loved. I also loved how all of Pip's friends stepped up to help even if they didn't completely know what was going on.  That ending too

Fire by Kristen Cashore Book Review

 Fire by Kristen Cashore is one of those books that you miss once you've finished it. You miss the world, the characters, everything about it.  Even though Fire takes place before Graceling and in theory is its sequel it can be read as a standalone as none of the key characters are featured in Graceling and it takes place in a totally different part of the world.  Fire is a monster, more specifically a human monster, who is mesmerising for anyone who sees her. Meaning people who succumb to her appeal will do anything for her, leaving their families, jobs and even lives behind. Fire aware and afraid of her power hides away in a tiny corner of the world, that is until she is needed to help the King. If Fire wants to help save her country and undo the wrongs of the past, Fire must face her fears, abilities and a royal court full of people with a reason to distrust her. Fire is a book I wanted to re-read the moment I finished it. I loved being lost in the world and spending time with t

The Gossip Games book review

Image
This book took me by major surprise and I am so glad that I chose to read it because boy, was it good. I fell in love with this book, the story, the characters, the romance and nearly everything else that was included in it. The Gossip Games follows Gracie who has recently had rumours about her start-up after Dean, her best friend's brother, carried her up to bed and she’s not best pleased. This starts up a competition of sorts between the two to see who can one up the other in a game of flirting and fake dating. This book is a contemporary young adult romance following characters who are in their later teenage years at a private boarding school. The main characters in The Gossip Games are Gracie and Dean, as well as Zara, Dean’s twin sister and Gracie’s best friend, Jesse and Theo, who are Zara and Dean’s cousins, though there are a couple of other characters who feature regularly. I liked nearly all the cast of characters and if I didn’t originally like a character quite often I
