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

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
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
The Petrified Flesh (Mirrorworld #1) by Cornelia Funke
Engaging, addictive and amazingly written, Reckless had me glued to its pages! I’ve read Inkheart a few times and I can’t help but simply fall in love all over again with the writings of Cornelia Funke. Once upon a time, a young boy named Jacob discovers this alternative world where he could escape his troubled… Continue reading The Petrified Flesh (Mirrorworld #1) by Cornelia Funke
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
The Reader by M.K. Harkins
5 stars and I regret nothing. I fell in love with this book, it’s perfect and I will definitely buy the paperback version. The story starts with a young woman, injured and passed out in a beach with no recollection of who she is and she got there. When two boys approach her, Ann Baker… Continue reading The Reader by M.K. Harkins
Marked by Dragon’s Blood (Return of the Dragonborn #1) by N.M. Howell
It was a breath of fresh air to read this fantasy novel that merges magic with dragons. It’s a page-turning, fast-paced adventure that had me clued to my Kindle. In a world ruled by magic, where mages rule supreme, dragonborns (humans born with dragon blood) were slaughtered for unclear reasons. The novel tells the story… Continue reading Marked by Dragon’s Blood (Return of the Dragonborn #1) by N.M. Howell

Perfection! And now I'm depressing since I read it in one sitting and have to wait for the next volume! A brilliant sequel to Crime and Poetry by Amanda Flower in a novel that is more compelling than the first! Prose and Cons is the second book of the Magical Bookshop Mystery series. The main… Continue reading Prose and Cons (A Magical Bookshop Mystery #2) by Amanda Flower
