Book 3 of 2019

I found The Belles unsettling because while it is set in a fantasy world, the mirrors to our reality cut a little deep. A rich original world is home to some challenging view points and complex characters. The prose has a vibrant urgency that leaves a lot to think about especially when it comes to our society and our views on what beauty is.

Book 2 of 2019

I read The Last Namsara in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. I adored the cast of characters, each one perfectly developed and placed in a beautifully crafted plot. This book reminded me so much of Tamora Pierce's books which were such a big part of my childhood. I will definitely be adding the second in the series The Caged Queen to my tbr list.

Book 1 of 2019

Chasing Embers has an interesting premise supported by top notch world building. It did feel a little long in places and I felt that there could have been more time spent on relationship development between the characters. Overall it was a good read and I'm looking forward to reading more.
