Review: House of Earth and Blood

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Light It Up

**Minor Spoiler**

Step back into the Maasverse with the House of Earth and Blood.

Ever wondered what ACOTAR and TOG would be like if they were Urban Fantasy? Well, here it is, and just as addicting as its counterparts.

HOEAB follows half-fae Bryce Quinlan as she is coerced to help solve a mystery that involves the death of her best friend years prior, and must learn to finally move on and accept her place in Midgard.

Great story, better than I expected. I look forward to the next one.

Review: Crown Me Yours

Crown Me Yours by Liv Zander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Now is all we're given."

**Minor Spoiler (but if you read Book 1, then you're safe)**

A continuation of Crown Me Dead, Elara must continue to find a way to break the curse that caused the Rot. And Vale just might know how. But courting Death is not so easy.

Zander created a unique way to represent love and grief, Life and Death, with this story. A well-blended mixture of joy, pain, comedy and grief: the things that make a life what it is. 4.5 stars for me.

I have an official author webpage! It is simply my name with a ".com" at the end of it 😊. You can access it here.

It is brand new, so it's still in the building stage. I hope you all get to see it and watch as it grows. I look forward to hearing what you all think as I continue this writing journey.

Review: Tower of Dawn

Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Equal Fight
Taking place the same time as Empire of Storms, Tower of Dawn follows Choal's and Nesryn's journey to the Southern Continent to find allies and a way to heal the new Hand of the King of Ardalan. Can they gain what they seek before darkness spreads over the Continent?

I didn't tandem read this book with EOS, but it was just as enjoyable as the rest of the Throne of Glass series so far. Now onto the final battle.

Review: Crown Me Dead

Crown Me Dead by Liv Zander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Glorious Rot

It's rare to come across a story that is slow and fast-paced at the same time, and that works for this book.
Set in a plague ridden kingdom, Elara, the daughter of a gravedigger, has an opportunity to end a rumored curse that's tied to the crown. Elara thought she understood death, until...
Gripping prose, great build up, and shocking ending. Leads the reader directly to the sequel.

Review: Kingdom of Ash

Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To Whatever End

The fight for a better world continues in this epic, emotional story of a princess who loved her kingdom, and would do anything to protect it and find her way home.

I am left whirling with this series! My emotions are brimming, and I struggle to hold them back after completing this book. It ended so well! And with Elizabeth Evans's audio: top-tier level of work. I will keep this story within me forever, "to whatever end."
The Throne of Glass series is a highly recommended read!
