Wind And Truth

This is the 5th book of the Stormlight Archive which began with The Way of Kings. Wow, this series just keeps improving with each book. Honestly this one was amazing and it’s getting harder to pick a favourite out of the series because I squealed just as much reading this one as I did reading Rhythm of War. In fact

Rhythm Of War

This is the 4th book in the Stormlight Archive, the first book is The Way of Kings. I didn’t think I would like any book as much as Words of Radiance but hot dang was this book.. dare I say it.. better? Yes, yes it was. It took my favourite moment from book 2 and then gave a few more

Dawnshard

This book is between Oathbringer and Rythm of War. We find out that Yalb survived the sinking ship but unfortunately can’t get hired with the other survivors as people view them as bad luck. However this book isn’t about Yalb. It’s about Ryan the owner of the Wandersail, The Lopen and Chiri-Chiri. This is perfect for fans of Pirates of

Edgedancer

Edgedancer is the book in between Words Of Radiance and Oathbringer. In other words.. it’s book 2.5 of the Cosmere. This is a story about Lift a character we meet in the second book. In fact the first part of this novel is a copy and paste from there. Luckily after that the reader is given a side quest featuring

Words Of Radiance

This is book 2 of the Stormlight Archive which began with The Way Of Kings. It’s one of many books in the Cosmere universe. This book is another slammer for me. I’m not sure why some people complain about the Sanderlanche as I find the book amazing from start to finish. I think it’s because I enjoy getting to know

Warbreaker

This is another great story in the Cosmere universe. It’s a standalone novel but that doesn’t make it any less wonderful to read. I loved Siri and Lightsong the most out of all the characters had something to keep you interested in them. Brandon Sanderson excels at making you care about the people and the worlds he creates. I found

The Bride Wore Size 12

Ah the 5th and final book in the series featuring Heather Wells. It took a long time but we finally got the wedding the readers were waiting for. Well we’ve had many murders for Heather to solve but this murder actually takes place before classes at the school even take place which is a bit unfair. Not only does Heather

Size 12 And Ready To Rock

I’ve made it to the 4th book and I was surprised because I think I was 30% in before a body dropped. It just took awhile longer than the previous books. A lot happened to Heather in this one including learning about her own health with endometriosis and what it means for her future. I’m so happy that she finally

Big Boned

Wow, the third book in the series and we finally have someone that isn’t a student die. In fact the dead person isn’t even female which makes a nice change of pace. I hate Tad.. mostly because he clearly doesn’t understand how to help someone enjoy training for a 5k from scratch. He’s a bit of an insensitive jerk that

Size 14 Is Not Fat Either

This is the second book in the Heather Wells series by Meg Cabot. The series starts with Size 12 Is Not Fat so make sure to read that first. Poor Heather, I swear Nancy Drew and Jessica Fletcher never had quite this much trouble but then again they never had to work in Death Dorm. So not every book can

The Poppy War

I really struggled with this book. I wanted to like it, we didn’t get along. I spent the first half of the book disliking the main character. Then the war came and I was just disappointed. I never connected with Rin but I did like Kitay and Jiang. Rin did have some character growth but not enough to make me

Elantris

This book was published before Mistborn. This would be the 4th Brandon Sanderson book I’ve read if we don’t count the novella of The Emperor’s Soul. I still like the Mistborn trilogy more but the characters of this book grew on me. I ended up cheering for them loud enough that I’m glad I wasn’t in library reading it! This

Blood Debt

We’ve come to the 5th and final book in this series Blood Debt! However this book is more of a transition book passing the torch to the next series where Tony gets to shine. It’s like a backdoor pilot episode tucked into your favourite TV show, the same way NCIS started in JAG and Wayward Sisters would have started in

Blood Pact

Well after the horror of third book Blood Lines, I was more than happy to move onto the 4th book Blood Pact. The books started with demons, went to werewolves, then mummies so it should be no surprise that in this book our heroes could come up against zombies. Well.. it’s not exactly zombies.. it’s more like a mix of

Blood Trail

It only makes sense in fantasy world that if there are vampires, then there must also be werewolves. In fact the only series that I can think of that didn’t include both is Teen Wolf. That said the lore on werewolves here is definitely interesting considering most media insists on the whole bite/scratch thing. The werewolves in this universe are

Blood Price

I bought this ages ago on my Kobo and there used to be a Kindle edition as well.. sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. This series is great which is to be expected from Tanya Huff as she is one of my favourite Canadian authors. However the TV adaptation of her books called “Blood Ties” lacked her

Mistborn

I just finished reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson and I absolutely loved it. It’s not very often where I find a book or any media where I love the whole cast but Sanderson did it. I’m clearly going right to the second book after finishing this little review of mine because I MUST know what happens next. Brandon was right

The Emperor’s Soul

I’ll make a confession, I haven’t read any Brandon Sanderson books before this. I picked this little novella as my taster because Brandon said on his website that it was short and would give the reader a feel for his work. I loved this little book. It was short but it didn’t feel short, it felt complete in ways many

The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea

I really liked this one a lot. It felt like a fairy tale in all the best possible ways. I know many people might think of the Little Mermaid and the thought did briefly cross my mind. However this book also brought to mind The Ill Made Mute or at least my vague memory of it. I can also see

Daughter of the Moon Goddess

I just finished reading Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan. It’s a good book, the beginning gives me a bit of Cinderella vibes. This is because our female protagonist comes from well off family and then through circumstances beyond her control she has to toil away for some horrible people until a prince rescues her. The prince
