  • Son of the Dawn – Cassandra Clare

    Son of the Dawn – Cassandra Clare

    Son of the Dawn by Cassandra Clare My rating: 4 of 5 stars With the anticipation for the release of Queen of Air and Darkness in December, I’m glad that we are able to dive back into the Shadow World sooner than that. I wanted to wait to read some of these novellas until a…

  • The Last Magician – Lisa Maxwell

    The Last Magician – Lisa Maxwell

    The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a brilliantly woven time-traveling, magical heist book and I didn’t even know how much I wanted it in my life. The book is written from multiple perspectives, which took a couple of chapters to get used to (as I was listening…

  • City of Lost Souls – Cassandra Clare

    City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars City of Lost Souls is the fifth book in the Mortal Instruments series. There wasn’t as much action in this book as we normally get making its pacing seem a little slow, but the character development I feel that we receive in…

  • Battle of the Ampere – Richard Paul Evans

    Battle of the Ampere by Richard Paul Evans My rating: 4 of 5 stars As this is the third book in the series, there is not much that I can say about it that will not spoil either of the previous books but I will do my best to avoid most specifics. If you haven’t…

  • The Silver Mask by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare

    The Silver Mask by Holly Black My rating: 4 of 5 stars The Silver Mask is the fourth book in the Magisterium series, which is co-written by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare.

    Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater My rating: 4 of 5 stars Blue Lily, Lily Blue is the third book in the Raven Cycle series. The series started off slowly, but the second book was a huge improvement over the first. I chose to listen to the series via audiobook, which is different from…

  • The Dream Thieves – Maggie Stiefvater

    The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater My rating: 4 of 5 stars The Dream Thieves was definitely a more engaging novel than the first book in the series. It was a combination of a more interesting plot, the magic system being developed more and having spent time with these characters that we finally have formed…

  • The Raven Boys – Maggie Stiefvater

    The Raven Boys – Maggie Stiefvater

    The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars It took a long time for this book to draw me in and even then I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about it. I am not the type of person to put down a book if I’m not enjoying it, I…

  • The Ship of the Dead – Rick Riordan

    The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars Magnus Chase: Ship of the Dead is the final book in the series that blends Norse mythology with the modern world. Rick Riordan writes in his typical humourous fashion and makes learning fun (even if it’s not always entirely accurate.) As…
