⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

“The Maid‘s Secret” isn‘t a bad book, however it‘s definitely my least favorite of the trilogy. It was a tad depressing at times, but I understand how important it was to include Flora‘s history in relation to the current day plot. The book adds a lot of depth to several of the characters, but I still don‘t love it as much as I do the others. The book ends with a nice and satisfying conclusion so I appreciated that.

Volume 2 did not disappoint, and I‘m really enjoying all of the characters! Personal favorite now includes the student council president whose goal is to prove that Iruma is human…..by having him translate manga that she can‘t read and secretly loves in the form of “forbidden tomes”. I can‘t wait to see how Iruma‘s journey continues from here.

This was a nice little filler that takes place between “The Mystery Guest” and “The Maid‘s Secret”. It was nice to see these characters and the hotel around the holidays, and my only real complaint was the amount of times Juan Manuel‘s “bare/smooth chest” is mentioned.

It was interesting to see a chapter from Damian‘s point of view, and it was sweet and heartwarming at the same time. I still can‘t stand Yuri but I‘m intrigued to see how the ship plot-line unfolds in the next volume!

I didn‘t love this one was much as I did with “Tress of the Emerald Sea”, however this story was very unique and interesting. The plot twists were ones that took me by surprise and made me further appreciate the world-building, plot, and its characters.

My fiancée gave this manga to me after he finished reading it and I‘m so glad he recommended it. The story and characters are funny, endearing, and even a bit heartwarming. I‘m really enjoying Iruma‘s journey and I will absolutely be picking up the second volume of this series!

I‘m sad to have finally finished this series, however it was very well written and I will miss all of the characters very much. I only wish that the epilogue was a tad longer and that we could have gotten a few pages of the group finally meeting Chilchuck‘s family. Overall, I strongly recommend this series to anyone who wants a wacky and heartwarming read with superb writing and artwork.

A Harvest of Hearts | Andrea Eames

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“A Harvest of Hearts” is a darker fantasy with gothic vibes and a sweet romance. It was a solid read, but I didn‘t absolutely love the writing and some of characters (excluding Cornelius as he is a precious cinnamon roll of a cat). Be warned as there is a small bit of gore that can be graphic at times throughout the book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

I went in hoping that this would have heartwarming and cozy vibes like “The House in the Cerulean Sea”, “Under the Whispering Door”, and “In the Lives of Puppets”, and was left a bit disappointed. Yes, there is still that found-family trope and Artemis Darth Vader‘s humor that I loved, but this is a darker and more adult version of the previously mentioned books. I could have also done without the graphic sexual context as well.

Volume 7 of this series was full of laughs, a surprise “visit” to Princess Syalis‘ home, and the introduction of Syalis‘ mother, the Queen. We also see the beginnings of a low-key love triangle that I‘m intrigued to see how that plays out.

“Tress of the Emerald Sea” was a joy to read. It definitely lives up to the hype of having “Princess Bride” and “Stardust” vibes, while also having interesting world-building and a cozy story. The characters were lovable, and the character arcs themselves were wonderful.

“Greenteeth” was a charming read that started a bit slow until about the halfway mark. I enjoyed the ‘found family‘ trope and the mythology was a unique addition to the story.

Soul Eater Vol 1 | Atsushi Ohkubo

⭐️⭐️

I tried to like “Soul Eater”, but the misogyny and abundance of fan service ruined it for me. The story is interesting but the art style is subpar. I hated every guy as they were obnoxious and gross, and the amount of female nudity and giant boobs was disgusting. The fact that there‘s portrayal of guys exposing their female partner‘s privates for leverage, and that another guy grabs two character‘s boobs to compare their sizes is horrifying.

I devoured volume four of “Spy x Family”. Between the assassination plot and the addition of a dog to this fake family, this book had me hooked until the very end. It did get a little dark at times (ex. mentions of war, animal experimentation), however all dogs had happy endings. I absolutely LOVE Bond and I can‘t wait to see more of him in future volumes!

“Blood Over Bright Haven” is a heavy yet timely read for the world that we currently live in. Wang does a great job writing flawed and morally gray characters with impressive character arcs by the end of the novel. Be warned as this book contains serious themes including but not limited to racism, sexism, slavery, and genocide.

Made in Abyss Vol. 1 | Akihito Tsukushi

⭐️⭐️

Pros: I liked the art style and the world/story was fascinating.

Cons: Riko was an annoying character that I had trouble liking. Most importantly was the depiction of the kids. These include punishments while they are naked, discussions about their genitals, and one character looks at another‘s privates while they are asleep. This apparently continues in every volume of this series, so I will not support it as this gives me pedo vibes.

Not gonna lie, my thoughts at the beginning of this book consisted of “what the hell am I reading right now?”. Once past the first chapter of the volume, I began to enjoy it a bit more and found it strange, but interesting. I didn‘t enjoy the suggestive parts as much (also what is with the grandma‘s appearance??) but I‘ll read the next one to see how the story continues.

I didn‘t love “The Wedding People” as much as I thought I would, but it‘s still a good book. I enjoyed the humor and many of the characters that are found in these pages. If there‘s any one thing I would change, I would have loved an epilogue as the ending found me wanting more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

I‘m very picky when it comes to contemporary romances, but “Yours Truly” is one that I will be keeping on my shelf. I strongly related to Jacob‘s character and his perspective and depiction of anxiety and mental heath was refreshing. I also appreciated that the ER atmosphere was portrayed accurately as a lot of media gets it wrong. Overall, this book was sweet and funny and the characters were lovable.

Reggie I loved the phrases she gave him to get a break when they were at his family‘s place. 2mo

“The Promised Neverland” starts off cute and wholesome, but gets VERY dark very quickly. Do NOT read if you have any triggers regarding harm occurring to children as there are moments that are graphic and physically made me uncomfortable. The premise itself is interesting and I‘m intrigued with how the series will progress, but it also had a bit too much horror for my taste.

I was really interested in the premise of this book and I enjoyed it up until the last quarter of it. The remaining quarter and ending felt sudden and abrupt, and felt like a bit of a let down. I also found the main female protagonist annoying and frustrating at times. Overall, I had high hopes for this book and it definitely fell short.

The premise was interesting, however the beginning of the book was a bit dark and I got a bit bored about a third of the way through.

I did appreciate the author‘s commentary and cultural explanations at the very end as a lot of the references went right over my head.
