The book started of interesting, but didn’t manage to keep my interest. The characters were bland, and the reasoning for what that was happening on the page did not hold the grounds for it to make sense to me. Like for example: they all know a certain character is a villain, and they have to team up with him. Later he does “evil” things and they are all shocked, as if they already didn’t know he was the bad guy? The whole book has too many different vibes for it to work for me as well, the pacing felt really off. So all in all, I didn’t really enjoy it, but was intrigued by some parts. 2/5 stars.

The Merciful Crow has one of the most interesting worlds I have read about for a while. It follows Fie who is a Crow, she goes and her crow crew goes into a deal with the Phoenix crown prince, they will get him to his allies and in return he will make the Hawks protect the Crows on the roads.
The Crows in this book are treated so badly that it makes my stomach turn. There is so much brutality in this book, and it is written really really well. I enjoyed the characters a lot, they really grew on me. The middle part of the book is a bit slow, and overall while the plot is something I have seen before many times I enjoyed this book immensely. I’m very excited for the next book, and the first one hasn’t even been released yet :( But really: the world was so good, every piece that we got I swallowed whole. 4/5 stars.

Ever Alice is an Alice in Wonderland retelling, set when Alice is 15 years old and sent to a asylum by her parents. They thinking she is mad after all her tales about Wonderland. Alice escapes the asylum with the help of the White Rabbit, going to Wonderland to assist in taking down the Red Queen from her throne.
In this retelling we also follow the perspective of the Red Queen, as well as Alice’s. The book has all the whimsicalness of Wonderland, with different kinds of creatures and rules in the world that does not make sense anywhere else. We even get a backstory of the Red Queen that I quite enjoyed. However, I found some plot points and character choices questionable. They didn’t really have grounds for their choices. The writing was also too direct and “childish” for me. But overall, it was entertaining and had some good parts even though the plot didn’t flow as I wanted it to. (Even though, Wonderland never flows smoothly anyway haha…). 3/5 stars.
