Book Review: The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten
So many of my reads lately have been because I grabbed something off of a clearance rack, and The Foxglove King was one of those picks. The premise of a necromancy based magic system sounded super interesting to me and I’m so glad I picked it up, because I ended up absolutely loving it.

Book Review: The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young
I picked up this book a little later than most readers, initially adding it to my TBR because I’d seen many readers I trust really love it. I now understand why, because wow, what a beautifully told story.

Book Review: A Fate Inked in Blook by Danielle L. Jensen
I’ve been feeling a little burned out on romantasy lately. I’ve read a lot of good stories over the past few years, but for whatever reason, the last few fantasy’s featuring a heavy romance component that I’ve picked up have left me feeling very lukewarm, to the degree that I’d begun to wonder if the…

Book Review: The Mask Falling by Samantha Shannon
The Bone Season series has become one of my favourite fantasies of all time, and The Mask Falling was no exception. Shannon has created such a stunningly intricate and terrifying dystopian world full of magic, mystery, and violence, and I am completely entranced by her ability to weave such an engrossing narrative.

Book Review: Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
Onyx Storm was one of my most anticipated releases of 2025 and if you don’t read any further, know this: it exceeded all of my expectations. I thoroughly loved this book and could not have asked for more from Yarros.

Book Review: Sorrow and Starlight by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti
I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with The Zodiac Academy series (though in case you don’t read any further: it’s mostly love). I love the setting of these books, the magic, the total and utter chaos and the cringe and ridiculousness of all the characters involved. I hate that each book emotionally guts…

Book Review: Rule of the Aurora King by Nisha J. Tuli
Thus far, I have loved everything that I’ve read by Nisha J Tuli. I originally came to her through her Nightfire Quartet series, though I know many have come to love her through the Artefacts of Ouranos. I’m still catching up on that series, which includes Rule of the Aurora King.

Book Review: Bewitched by Laura Thalassa
This book was super fun and a little ridiculous in a good way. Despite tackling some heavy topics, the overall tone didn’t feel heavy, and it was an enjoyable story to get lost in. I loved that it was available on Kindle Unlimited, and there were a lot of loose ends at the conclusion that…

Book Series Review: The Elements of Cadence Duology by Rebecca Ross
Over the past year, I fell completely in love with Rebecca Ross’ writing through the Letters of Enchantment Duology. Iris and Roman might be one of my favourite fantasy couples ever, and I was keen to relive the feeling of seeing them come together once I’d finished the series. The Elements of Cadence duology was…

Best Books Read in 2024
2024 was a huge year for me, so it’s a challenge to reflect back to January when it feels like I’ve come so far. Heading into the year, I knew it would be a big one, but nothing quite prepared me for the seismic shifts that would take place.
