I finished this a few hours ago but my life got super busy so I forgot to update. Anyway, this was such a good sequel! I really loved seeing Ember’s emotional journey and the exploration of magic was fantastic. I can’t wait for the third one because I want to know what happens next!!

I always feel bad leaving the first poor review on a book but I wouldn’t be a very good reviewer if I wasn’t honest. I really struggled following the plot because I couldn’t figure out what it was. The illustrations were cute but they looked like someone was drawing people on top of an animated video game background which threw me off.

Fun and quick read!

I would like to preface this by saying that the author is my father and I am so proud of him for writing and publishing his first ever book!

Now onto my review: This guide to a career as a postdoc is written in an approachable and conversational way. Even though I have no intention of working towards a PhD, there is advice here for me. I got tips on applying for jobs and networking at events. It is short, sweet, and to the point in an understandable and accessible way.

I highly recommend this book!

I found my attention lacking in some points but otherwise it was mostly a great book! I really like the magic system and how intricate it is.

The author was kind enough to gift me a copy of this book and this review reflects my honest opinion.

Children’s books aren’t my go-to but I have many young cousins (and a cat that I read to) so I am familiar with the genre. I actually really loved this story, especially the cute illustrations. The message of being open to magic in the world is a wonderful one and this book communicates it well.

A fast paced and short book that I enjoyed every second of. I would recommend this book to middle grade students looking for a book that explores right and wrong as it relates to superpowers.

I wasn’t sure how I felt about this book in the first third but then the pace really picked up and I fell in love with the pirate crew.

SHE DOES IT AGAIN! A stunning conclusion to a stunning trilogy. I will never be able to get over how incredible Dugan is at crafting plot and character, truely a masterclass.

This is the best book I have ever read. It broke my heart over and over again and made me question everything about my life. This is absolutely a must read.
