The Last One by Rachel Howzell Hall

Today’s review is about THE LAST ONE by Rachel Howzell Hall. This is a romantasy debut by the author and appears (so far) to be a standalone book. Although the comparison to N.K. Jemisin meets The Witcher sounded intriguing, unfortunately this was a DNF for me. Read on to find out why.

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros

Today’s review is about IRON FLAME by Rebecca Yarros. This is the second book in The Empyrean series, so naturally my review contains spoilers for the first book. I’m happy I finally read this sequel…it only took me almost a year to do so, mainly because I got irritated seeing it all over the place. I read it on my own time and happy I did so. Onward to the review!

Book Review: Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Maehrer

Today’s review is about ASSISTANT TO THE VILLAIN by Hannah Maehrer. Published by the same publisher as FOURTH WING, it boasts a hilarious story about what it’s like to be the assistant to a villain. Though charming to some, I had some misgivings about whether it lives up to the hype.

Book Review: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

Today’s review is about FOURTH WING by Rebecca Yarros, which took the bookish world my storm. I hadn’t planned on reading it so soon after my pre-order arrived. But there are so many spoilers and discussions floating around (an understatement) that I didn’t want to continue to dodge. So does it live up to the hype? Well, check out my review to find out!
