No spoilers in this review of King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo. (There will be spoilers, however, for those who haven’t read the Shadow and Bone trilogy.) I liked it and give it 3.5 stars. Hopefully this book isn’t suffering too much from my sky-high expectations for anything Bardugo writes. I fell in love with…
No spoilers in this rapid review of The Hod King by Josiah Bancroft. I really liked it and give it 4 stars. Bancroft dealt me a huge shock at the end of this book, unlike any I’ve had before. I thought this was the final book in the series, but I discovered it’s not. As…
No spoilers in this rapid review of The Queen’s Rising by Rebecca Ross. I thought it was okay and give it 3 stars. There are so many YA high fantasy series out there right now and so many new authors trying to break into this crowded market. I’m not sure Ross does anything to separate…

Check out this review by our guest blogger Jacee! No spoilers in this rapid review of Grace and Fury by Tracy Banghart. I really enjoyed it and give it 3.75 stars. Grace and Fury was definitely a surprise for me, and in a good way! It didn’t even find its way onto my extensive TBR…
No spoilers in this review of Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix by Julie C. Dao. I liked it pretty well and give it 3 stars. This sequel was different from what I expected.

No spoilers in the beginning of this rapid review of Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas. (I’ll put a few spoilers under the **SPOILERS** mark below.) And let’s just get this out of the way right now: I don’t think I can call this review a rapid one. 😉 This series and this book…
