Wayward Son – Rainbow Rowell
Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wayward Son is the second book in the Simon Snow series by Rainbow Rowell. Although I enjoyed the first book in the series, it wasn’t as well fleshed out as I felt that it could have been because we were thrown into a fictional…

Spin the Dawn – Elizabeth Lim
Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim My rating: 4 of 5 stars Spin the Dawn was sold to me as a Mulan and Project Runway mashup of sorts, so I was intrigued because Mulan is tied for my favourite princess. Project Runway? I don’t really have an opinion about, but I was willing to give…

Rebel – Marie Lu
Rebel by Marie Lu My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars Rebel is the fourth book in the Legend series by Marie Lu that we didn’t know we needed. It takes place years after the events of the series and now Eden is a teen. He was so young in the first books, so it was…
