The Girl in the Tower
Katherine Arden
A solid second book of the Winternight Trilogy and perfect for fantasy newbies!
A Spartan's Sorrow
Hannah Lynn
Overall it’s not the worst myth retelling I’ve read, but it was mildly disappointing
Ruin and Rising
Leigh Bardugo
A disappointing end to the series but still better than Shadow and Bone
Siege and Storm
Leigh Bardugo
I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this more than Shadow and Bone!
The Bear and the Nightingale
Katharine Arden
Overall an exciting and interesting tale that I can’t wait to continue the series and see what happens with the characters!
Mooncakes
Wendy Xu and Suzanne Walker
Overall a perfect read for autumn and recommend if you’re looking for a magical witchy/werewolf romance!
Havenfall
Sara Holland
A great first book in a fantasy duology, perfect for anyone looking to get into the fantasy genre
Hiddensee: Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker
Gregory Maguire
Overall an interesting story that may be more enjoyable if you don't think of it as a story of The Nutcracker.
Six of Crows Duology
Leigh Bardugo
Overall an amazing and unique fantasy duology that lives up to the hype!
A Discovery of Witches
Deborah Harkness
Since it’s a book about Witches/the supernatural and set around October, it’s the perfect read for Autumn.
Red Queen
Victoria Aveyard
Overall the plot is cool but I haven’t been able to connect with the characters.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
VE Schwab
My rating may change over time but I definitely recommend it, if you like lots of character development, spanning of timelines, historical fiction, or fantasy.
