Queen of Shadows | A Review of Book 4 in Throne of Glass series

The fifth book in the series is Queen of Shadows. Amazing and exhilarating. I was on an emotional rollercoaster while reading this book. I was completely sad to let Celaena go but that has to be the story. Things need to move forward. It was amazing how Celaena finally accepted her destiny. Celaena is the ultimate dream... strong, confident, sassy, and just ❤. Although there are many plotlines in this book which has made some readers overwhelmed and confused. But for me it was epic. On the whole, this book was Fire.

MY REVIEW

Okay so in the last book, Aelin is finally coming back to Erilea. She comes back reunites with old friends, gathers a group of followers, and finally meets with Chaol. Chaol in this book is angry as hell because he has lost a lot of people because of his poor choices and he is taking it out on Aelin. Aelin gives him peace of mind which somewhat cools him down. I understand why is Chaol angry but still why he has to be stupid as hell.

The king has gone full dark and took the prince with him from the last book. Dorian has a Valg prince living inside of him now and he has given up fighting because he thinks there is nothing for him out there in the world. But then he meets Manon Blackbeak and he claws his way out to meet her. Oh the chemistry between them was 🤌

We have more insight into the story of Manon Blackbeak. She has been given a wyvern who is a total heartthrob. Abraxos was a warrior with a heart of gold. I fell in love with a wyvern lol. Their chemistry is just amazing. The thirteen are also in the picture

We get to meet Elide Lochan who is going to play a pretty important character in the upcoming books. We also get to meet Lorcan; another member of Maeve's cadre and he is on the mission of saving his mistress in his own twisted way. He finds Elide and then the rest is history. You will know why I said it when you read the books.

There are so many more characters in the book; Lysandra, Arobyn, and Aedion, and they all have their own past and storylines to follow. This book was good because there are a whole lot of scenes in the forests, ancient islands, marshes, and Pirates Bay...yeah the locations were ❤ which gave a very whimsy vibe to this book.

THE BEST PART

☙ Abraxos and Manon

☙ Lorcan claims he is a big bad wolf and then goes on to save Elide at every opportunity he gets

☙ Lysandra and Aelin making up

☙ Manon standing up to her grandmother for Asterin

☙ Aedion's Rescue

THE WORST PART:

☙ There is no more Celaena, no more underground passages to venture at night, no more Celaena going on shopping sprees and collecting books

☙ To see Aelin moving on from Sam

☙ I wanted to see more of Arobyn Hamel and Celaena. He died too easy

☙ Why Kaltain Rompier has to have a tragic life and then a tragic end

☙ Aelin's habit of making decisions herself and putting everyone in jeopardy

BEST CHARACTER
☙ Kaltain Romper

☙ Manon Blackbeak

☙ Asterin Blackbeak

☙ Elide Lochan

WORST CHARACTER
☙ The King

☙ Blackbeak Matron

Happy Reading!!

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.

Plated Prisoner Series | A series review (Spoiler Alert!!!)

Have you ever stumbled upon a series that not only captures your imagination but also challenges the norms of classic narratives?

If you haven't yet experienced this literary masterpiece, be prepared for a rollercoaster ride of intrigue, deception, and personal growth.

Auren, with her genuine golden touch, becomes the linchpin of the plot as ...

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

Where is Molly is a stand alone book written by H.D Carlton. It is set in the Universe of Haunting Adeline. The story revolves around Molly...the girl we found in Hunting Adeline. Her diary was founded by Adeline under the floor and us readers always wanted to know if she succeeded in running away from that awful place. Blurb A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet... “Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?” In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast. It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly. Important No...

Lightlark by Alex Aster | A Book Review

A Fellow booktoker recommended me this book. She talks about it all the time and makes really catchy videos featuring this Duology. I got interested and purchased this book. Lightlark is the first book in the series written by Alex Aster. I got to know some pretty interesting facts about the Author and how this book was published. You should learn it too this is not my story to tell 😅. Anyhow I started reading this book in March and finished it one week. Somehow I got late in writing and reviewed all the books I read in March. So now I am starting again. This is the brief of this book on Goodreads; Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has somet...
