Icarus Review
When I was wandering around the young adult section, I saw this book waiting on the shelf. The premise was enough to draw me in, and the reviews seemed good. While this book ended up not being for me, I can see why others might enjoy it. “There are so many books written about the…

The Blacktongue Thief
I picked up this book on a whim. I decided to buy it after reading some online reviews, since they made my hopes for the book grow. While it took me almost a year to actually start reading the book, I am so happy that I gave this novel a try! “Only the strong, the…

Flowers for Algernon Reviews
Throughout my years, I have tended to stray from books considered ‘classics’, for the sheer fact that I have been traumatized from my English classes (sorry to any of my English teachers–you guys were great, it’s me). I picked up this book with some hesitance, but I was too interested to let it go. After…

The Blade Itself Review
When my father handed me this book, recommending it as my next read, I thought that it would be just another action-packed fantasy adventure that I’ve read a thousand times over, but this book surprised me with its depth and insightfulness. “You have to have fear to have courage.” Premise of the book: When Logen…

The Will of the Many Review
This book was daunting, to say the least, when I first picked it up—the number of pages, the glossary on the back, the number of names. I knew the only chance I had to finish this book was to start it in the summer. I can say with confidence that it was worth every second…

The Silverblood Promise Review
Picking up this book on a whim and buying it because of the breathtaking cover was a decision I didn’t know I’d come to love until a year later, when I finally decided to read it. The Silverblood Promise quickly became a fantasy book that stood out to me, and one I know I’d love…
