I’m back with some more mini reviews, and this time the theme is bite-sized adventures. For those who want a sense of danger, but are still on the lower end of middle-grade reads. Today’s reviews are a little different in that I picked these books up because I thought they might be good additions to […]
Middle Grade Fantasy Mystery Sibling Bonds Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for Young Readers for a review copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. Quotes are taken from an unfinished version and may differ from the final product. Not gonna lie, that cover totally got me. […]
Fantasy Epic Fantasy Gore War Death Many thanks to Orbit for a review copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This review may contain spoilers for the first two books. I spent something like 1,500 pages fretting over these characters, and let me tell […]
