You Are What You Read
Rating: 4 stars This really felt more like 3 stars but I rated the first book 3 stars and this was way better than it so I guess a 3.5 is more accurate. So for official reasons, 4 stars will do. I definitely liked the premise and atmosphere more than the story itself. The characters …

Rating: 4 stars Reread with my IRL friend! Oh man, this was such a nostalgia trip! I first read this book in the 6th grade, and proceeded to read a book in this series every year following, except for 8th grade where I read both Brisingr and Inheritance. I had memorized where in the book …

Rating: 4 stars It was so impossible to live life backward. Not really sure how I feel but I guess I liked it? This was good, just about as good as the last two (though the first was undoubtedly the best so far). The plots in these books are usually not the best, and this …

Rating: 4 stars This is my review of the published version of Blood Heir. For my review of the original ARC, click here. So, I’d say there was an improvement, to say the least! It’s amazing how changing so little made the story on the whole so much better. Really, this official version had the …

Rating: 4 stars I don’t have too many thoughts on this. I enjoyed it, perhaps more than the first. But I still have issues with Collins’ writing overall and that kind of puts a damper on any emotional connection I attempt to have with this series beyond the implications. I appreciated the Quarter Quell, I …

Rating: 4 stars Honestly, most of my thoughts from the previous book—Rogue, Warrior, Princess—still remains true with this one. The only things of particular note is that this felt like it was going to be a solid resolution up until the very end, which I suppose is okay, considering there are 8 books in this …

Rating: 4 stars I’m late to the party, I know. Back in the day, when this was the talk of my middle school, I used to lie that I read it, and since my sister had actually read them and gave me a point-by-point plot summary immediately after reading each book in the series, I …

Rating: 4 stars Does this deserve 4 stars? Definitely not! But I’ve been an angry reader the past few months during my slump and I wanna be a happy reader again. If Air Awakens can get 4 stars from me, so can Morgan Rice lol This felt like a huge improvement from the first book, …

Rating: 4 stars I received this eARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of this book in any way. I also only read the ARC until about the 50% mark, at which point I read from the published edition. All quotes are checked against the published …

Rating: 4 stars Buddy read this with some Goodreads friends and I definitely had the highest opinion of it by the end, which is kind of a first lol This doesn’t deserve 4 stars, I’ll say that right now. But rating this 3 stars feels almost rude to the book, especially considering how much I …
