DEV1AT3 by Jay Kristoff My rating: 4 of 5 stars Deviate (Dev1at3) is the second book in the Lifelike (Lifel1k3) series by Jay Kristoff. I loved the first book and how it was this really intriguing sci-fi Anastasia retelling. That being said, this book felt very different than the first one and if you haven't… Continue reading Deviate – Jay Kristoff
Superman: Dawnbreaker by Matt de la Pena My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Although Superman is not one of my favourite superheroes, I did want to see how his origin story would play out. I've never read any of Matt de la Pena's books before, so I had no expectations about his writing style or… Continue reading Superman – Matt de la Pena
Sherwood by Meagan Spooner My rating: 4 of 5 starsNo, this book isn't perfect, but it's the feminist retelling of Robin Hood that I didn't know I needed and utterly enjoyed.

Kingsbane by Claire Legrand My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars I loved the first book in the Empirium series, Furyborn by Claire Legrand. I also loved Kingsbane, but for very different reasons.

Finale by Stephanie Garber My rating: 5 of 5 stars Finale by Stephanie Garber is the third and finale book in her Caraval series. Caraval began the series and was Garber’s debut novel. I was immediately entranced by the world that she crafted, but was certainly left wanting more. (More detail, more worldbuilding, etc). She… Continue reading Finale – Stephanie Garber
The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston My rating: 4 of 5 stars The Princess and the Fangirl is the second book in the Once Upon a Con series by Ashley Poston. I loved Geekerella when I first read it, which is a geeky Cinderella retelling. I generally don't like Cinderella, so any fairytale… Continue reading The Princess and the Fangirl – Ashley Poston
The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars, Part Three by Michael Dante DiMartino My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars, Part Three was the final book in this arc and it was so good.

The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi is a fantasy set in the Victorian era of Paris in 1899. The author’s sumptuous writing style perfectly lends itself to this time period, as the plush and gilded world is built upon an interesting magic system… Continue reading The Gilded Wolves – Roshani Chokshi
