3.5/4 stars.

I feel like the overuse of the term 'male' or 'maleness' got on my nerves a little and made the reading a little tedious at times. But let's face it, we all just turned up for Chapter 55, so... you know.

I did enjoy the character development of the main characters, the twists and turns as well as their journey. The writing sometimes makes it a little less enjoyable outside of the 'smutty' sections. But overall I did enjoy the book, and I will be carrying on to find out how this plays out.

3.5/4 stars.

I enjoyed the character development of some of the characters. And the storyline went in the direction I thought it would, but was still enjoyable. And that's about all I have to say in a practical review style.

In my nonsense review style - Tamlin is out here acting way too much like my ex and honestly I'm the most over him. Boy, bye.

Feyre and Rhys are just doing their thing. Good for them.

But what I really want to know, is when do I get some hot Az action? Ya'll sold me on this fae smut now give me what my heart desires - more of the angry sad faeboy. Thanks.

3/ 3.5 stars.

Short and sweet tie in with the other books in this series. It's nice that they get a reprieve after the last two years of tragedy and drama.

The dynamics between the sisters are shifting and changing which is nice but I honestly am struggling to find things to like about Nesta or Elain. I'm hopeful for more from both characters in future books.

Still no Az action so it doesn't hit that 4 star mark for me.

The first part of this book was slow, the middle was just smut but the end is where it truly shone and had the most depth and grit to it.

Still no Azriel action, but my hope is for that to arrive in the next book.

I enjoyed Nesta's character development, and I also enjoyed knowing she has a way to go and that it wasn't just neatly resolved come the end of the book. I do wish that there wasn't so much emphasis on everyone's happily every afters involving procreating and creating lineage. But overall I did enjoy this book and it did hold some emotional and touching moments.

A fantastical adventure filled with mystery.

I adored Dilly and her journey to find out what has happened to her father, whilst simultaneously squashing a plot to bring England and France to War. The blend of fantasy and history was wonderful and I couldn't put this book down, the sequel is out next year and I very much look forward to it!

Fans of Pages and Co or the Nevermoor series will love this book.

I received an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Dark and twisting, this is a fantastic graphic novel from Brandon Sanderson who writes so fantastically. Emotional and intricate this is a fantastic fantasy that seamlessly blends the real world with an alternate one.

It does remind me of some of Neil Gaimen's work, such as The Sandman, so fans of that will really enjoy this.

3.5/4 stars.

An insightful book that may be of assistance to those who feel stuck in a relationship, for whatever reason. The majority of the book does sadly focus mostly on hetero monogamous relationships with offspring, which was a little disappointing. But it does attempt, in a very small way, at the end to rectify that by mentioning possible other relationship routes.

I think the advise overall is helpful, I just wish that it was aimed at the wider world of relationships across the entire spectrum.

An adorable book filled with quirky characters but with an important message about being environmentally friendly.

Perfect as a fun introduction for children into the world of recycling.

I cannot rave enough about this book!

Jam packed with Indian folklore, wit and action - this is everything I could have hoped for. Heroine's battling through trials set by absentee god's - discovering more about themselves and their world. I didn't want to put this book down, from start to finish it keeps the reader hooked and wanting more.

If you have been looking for a female led, demi-god, adventure - then don't sleep on Aru Shah!

This took me back to the funny books of my youth that were quick, hilarious and relatable. But of course with a modern twist. It's inclusive and tells an important story weaved through the haphazard day to day of a mischievous ten year old - and most importantly perhaps - talks a lot about biscuits.

A great one for fans of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, King Flashypants or any of the Tom Gates books.
