The Shadow Cabinet (Her Majesty’s Royal Coven #2) by Juno Dawson

After the cliffhanger of the first book, I'm was so happy I was approved for the E-ARC because… I couldn't wait for June. I absolutely loved the first book, and the sequel takes up a few notches more. The characters in the first book return and they become more complex, especially the character we got… Continue reading The Shadow Cabinet (Her Majesty’s Royal Coven #2) by Juno Dawson

The Malevolent Seven by Sebastien de Castell

I loved this! Such a cool story with such amazing characters. The story flows very nicely and it makes hard to stop reading. The humorous lines made me laugh out loud even if it was a bit dark at times. It's fast-paced (my favourite) and the story flows smoothly.I loved the characters in this book.… Continue reading The Malevolent Seven by Sebastien de Castell

Fourth Wing (The Empyrean #1) by Rebecca Yarros, Rebecca Soler (Narrator), Teddy Hamilton (Narrator)

I have the biggest book hangover of all time with this one. I don't know how I'm gonna wait until November for the sequel. This book is truly like a Hunger Games only with dragons. It's brutal, both physically and mentally, intense and completely cutthroat. The voice in the audiobook was amazing and very easy… Continue reading Fourth Wing (The Empyrean #1) by Rebecca Yarros, Rebecca Soler (Narrator), Teddy Hamilton (Narrator)

Caraval (Caraval #1) by Stephanie Garber

Such a beautiful and intense book! Loved it! The circus setting is probably one of my favourites in fantasy novels, and Stephanie Garber took things to the next level with Caraval, a place that mixes reality and magic. Really enjoyed the main characters and their interactions, but also how the plot makes it almost impossible… Continue reading Caraval (Caraval #1) by Stephanie Garber

Two words: Holy sh*t. I can’t even... Wow. This book is perfection itself. This is a refreshing, brilliantly built world around Arthurian legends, with details in all the right places. The creatively and the way the author put it to words, is incredible. In summary, Legendborn follows the story of Bree, a high school student… Continue reading Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

An incredible book that was worth the time it took to read it. This is probably one of the best books I’ve read this year and also one of the biggest. In 19th century England magic is remembered as part of a glorious past but no longer used in the present. Even so, there are… Continue reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty’s Prince (Villains #2) by Serena Valentino

I’m fully aware that I’m reading this collection backwards, but I honestly say that it doesn’t make a difference to me. These tiny books are a treasure and it’s a true pleasure to read them no matter in which order I receive them. Beauty Within is just as good as Poor Unfortunately Souls and I… Continue reading The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty’s Prince (Villains #2) by Serena Valentino

Poor Unfortunate Soul: A Tale of the Sea Witch (Villains #3) by Serena Valentino

It seems I started in the middle with this series, but I regret nothing. Little Mermaid is one of all-time favourite Disney film and Ursula definitely one of the best villains, so of course this book is a must-have! The best part? It wasn’t disappointed, quite the opposite: unpredictable, heartfelt and very addictive! This novel… Continue reading Poor Unfortunate Soul: A Tale of the Sea Witch (Villains #3) by Serena Valentino

DarkSkull Hall (The Mage Chronicles #1) by Lisa Cassidy

It took me a while to read it and to write since I was sick and decided to read it in full again after recovering! A brilliant novel, there is no other way to say it. Dark Skull Hall has a bit of everything: emotion, adventure, thrilling moments and heart-stopping confrontations. Decades before a massive… Continue reading DarkSkull Hall (The Mage Chronicles #1) by Lisa Cassidy
