We follow Eragon, once a simple… Continue reading Brisingr – Christopher Paolini
A Court of Wings and Ruin – Sarah J. Maas
★★★★★ After that ending only one quote can adequately sum up my feelings: Something thumped in front of me. A bottle of wine. “It’s fine if you drink directly from it,” was all Mor said.

For those who don't… Continue reading A Court of Wings and Ruin – Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Mist and Fury – Sarah J. Maas
★★★★★ I am broken and healing, but every piece of my heart belong to you. Hole. Lee. Shh. This sequel is stunning. I have not been this entertained and enthralled with a series since my high school Twilight craze. And I realized—I realized how badly I'd been treated before, if my standards had become so low. If the… Continue reading A Court of Mist and Fury – Sarah J. Maas
