The Bridge Kingdom (5 stars) The Good Things: I loved this book so much. It gripped me so completely from the beginning that I barely took any notes. I was prepared to give it five stars from the very first chapter Loved the slowburn romance between Aren and Lara. The tension was good. There were […]
The Good Things: One of my top reads of the year so far! It’s a beautiful fantasy retelling. I read this as part of a readalong! Thank you, Tandem Collective Global and HarperCollins Australia for hosting. The writing reminded me of Juliet Marillier, one of my favourite authors. It was gorgeous writing that sucked you […]
The Good Things YA fantasy/ post-apocalyptic novel that’s been on my TBR pile for years. I’m glad I finally read it. Loved the blend of genres. There were parts that felt more post-apocalyptic, some high fantasy elements, and others urban fantasy. The main character has time magic! I really enjoyed the brief tournament and hidden […]
The Good Things A YA historical mystery and my first Cindy Anstey book. An interesting mystery and the type of amnesia trope I enjoy. I really liked the overall structure of the mystery. There were some fantastic red herrings scattered throughout the story. I loved the side characters a lot! They were entertaining and had […]
The Good Things Maria V Snyder is one of my favourite authors so it’s no surprise I enjoyed this one. Her writing is so easy to read. The City of Zirdai had such a good, conclusive ending, so I was curious to see what could possibly happen in this book. Turns out I’d completely […]
Good Things: My first five star read of the year! It was everything I wanted. A perfect fit for my mood at the time. Slowburn fantasy romance and a retelling/ novel inspired by a number of different fairy tales and myths. It’s the second book in the Married to Magic series but can be easily […]
The Good Things I knew I would enjoy this one. I’m glad it lived up to my expectations. Upper YA/ NA historical fantasy. Wrath is my favourite. His sarcasm and banter was beautiful. Slow-burn enemies-to-lovers who can’t help but antagonise each other as they work together. I loved the banter and tension. I appreciated the […]
The Good Things This book is SO GOOD. You all need to read it. I procrastinated uni assignments to binge read this in a single setting. And then I immediately ordered a physical copy and pre-ordered the sequel as soon as I finished it. Honestly, it was everything I wanted FBAA to be. Good writing, […]
The Good Things My reread of this nostalgia inducing series continues! This is probably my favourite book I’ve read in the series so far. It’s a YA steampunk/ historical fantasy by the way. We got so much Emily in this one! Her relationship with Sam is my favourite (but I think they might be beaten […]
