The Rose Code Review
I have debated reading this book for a long time, as I’ve heard many good things about it (both in person and online). A week ago, I finally decided to ask my mother if I could borrow her copy of the book, and I started reading. While The Rose Code wasn’t exactly what I expected,…

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…

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…

Project Hail Mary Review
While I went into the book thinking that it would be similar to The Martian and debating if it was worth it to read. Once my mother and friends finally convinced me to read it, I finished the novel glad I chose to go on the adventure out in space with Ryland Grace. “We’re as…

Eight Perfect Murders Review
I got this book from a ‘Blind Date with a Book’ (where you buy a book completely wrapped in brown paper, with the book chosen solely based on the short description written on the front of the paper) that I purchased a few months ago. I bought it as I haven’t read a mystery novel…

The Song of Achilles Review
I’ve never been someone who was too engrossed in Greek mythology, or any mythology for that matter, but I couldn’t ignore all of the raving reviews that I’ve heard about this novel. I am pleased to report that this book met, and even exceeded, my expectations. “There are no bargains between lion and men. I…

A Memory Called Empire Review
With a breathtaking cover and a memorable title, A Memory Called Empire pulled me into the depths of its story one summer day. While the book ended up not being as entertaining as I first thought, I can’t say I regret giving it a try. “Nothing touched by Empire stays clean.” Premise of the book:…

The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle Review
I happened to be wandering in the mystery section one day when this book caught my eye. The premise of this book is what first compelled me to buy it. Several weeks later, I could confidently say that this was the most unique mystery book I have ever read. “How lost do you have to…

Legends and Lattes Review
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while, due to the slew of positive reviews I’ve heard, but I never went through with actually buying the novel. When I was walking past my father’s desk one day and saw Legends and Lattes staring back at me, I knew it was calling my name.…
