"Good and evil are a great deal more complex than a princess and a dragon, or a wolf and a scarlet-clad little girl. And is not the dragon the hero of his own story? Is not the wolf simply acting as a wolf should act?"

I don't think I have the mental capacity to write a review this book deserves. The Night Circus is a book woven of layers of poetry, and sentences that are strung together with magic.

When I read The Starless Sea, I described it as, 'A book that's beautiful enough, whimsical enough, magical enough to allow you to remember why you fell in love with reading in the first place. It's a book created for readers. Created for people who breathe words, and lose themselves in their dreams and imagination.' However, I think The Night Circus is more than that (I know, wtf). The Night Circus is simply full of magic. It reminds you of the magic that can be found between the pages of a book, in a way, it reminded me of what it's like the be a child. To see the magic, beauty and wonder in everything.

And... this concludes my Cassandra Clare reread. Farewell folks, its been fun. I'm going to go cry into my pillow, because I don't know what else to do when I'm not reading a shadowhunter book.

I'm crying, this ending destroyed me.

Review to come.

This shit was fire. *wink*. That's all.


“These people are so damned proud of their hatred! Hatred is easy, and lazy to boot. It’s love that demands effort, love that exacts a price from each of us. Love costs; this is its value.” 


The Fate of the Tearling is the final book following Kelssa Glynn's progression into a powerful manarch. In her quest to get rid of corruption, she had gained many formidable enemies, including the Red Queen and 'The Orphan'. In order to protect her people, Kelsea makes the decision to surrender herself and her 2 magical sapphires to the Red Queen. The Mace, her most trusted guard, is placed Regent in her stead. But The Mace's utmost loyalty has always lied with Queen, and sitting on a throne whilst his Queen is held captive is something he simply won't put up with. He will not rest until he and his men rescue their sovereign from her prison in Mortmesne.

I AM STILL REELING OVER THIS BOOK! Those of you who know me, are aware that I am simply in love with this trilogy. I think this was the perfect wrap up to a brilliant series. Honestly, I'm still gushing. Bare with me.

This was perfect! Also, for a morally grey book, there is a LOT of humour. I love how Kristoff's sassy and sarcastic sense of humour shines throughout the whole book.

In simple terms, it is very deserving of the hype. Please read if you haven't already!!!

Now, onto Darkdawn. I'm already destroyed.

This book was amazing, it was just as good as the first one. Whilst the first book focuses on the romance between Khalid and Shahrzad, this book focuses on the consequences of the romance. It was perfect

I did not think that this series could get any better. I was wrong.

I'm not even going to attempt to write a review, because I know it won't do this amazing book justice. Want my advice? JUST READ IT!
