4.5 stars — Am I the only one that bawled during multiple sections of this book? I doubt it. This one was emotional in so many ways. The problem is that I’m super invested in Tori and all of her friends, and so the wrenches just hurt more and more as they’re thrown in. And […]
4 stars — This review is going to be completely unstructured, because I can’t seem to make a nice coherent flow. So I’ll hit the highlights. As a Canadian, I understand how truly shameful our past is wrt the First Nations people. I appreciated that Ms. Cole tried to subtly address some things, but by […]
4.5 stars — Wow, that was INTENSE!!! Like seriously, even though as a reader I generally have an expectation of my level of anxiety, and I end up convincing myself that things’ll be okay, there were multiple times in this book where I honestly had NO IDEA how Robin and Zylas were going to survive. […]
4.5 stars — Well, that was an emotional rollercoaster that I devoured. I seriously ended up biking way past my goal time because I was so absorbed, gotta love that! I don’t know what expectations I had for Elliott, but I don’t remember being as excited for his story as some of the others. And […]
4.5 stars — This one went in a lot of interesting directions, and just added to the world I’m already in love with. I loved getting to see more of the dynamics between the boys, and a glimpse at their past through the academy (Aaron and Kai in particular). I ended up learning a lot […]
4.5 stars — Somehow I just knew I was going to love Robin. A meek book nerd who perseveres? YES PLEASE! Honestly, the whole book was fascinating to me, and I loved seeing a different side of this universe. I also kind of love that our main heroines in both these series are fairly uninformed […]
4.5 stars — You know it’s weird. I don’t read books in this genre, so maybe I’m just finding that this is a genre I would enjoy, but I’ve been LOVING this series. And it genuinely always makes me happier from listening to it. Part of it is that I love this narrator. She conveys […]
4.5 stars — This was a tasty little short story, a perfect treat! I highly recommend reading it between books 3 and 4, just like I did. I loved that I already knew and loved our mages, and so I was desperate for this little glimpse of how the duo of Aaron and Kai became […]
5 stars — I don’t know if these books are getting better, or I’m just more invested because I’m in love with all the characters, or all of the above??? But seriously, I’m having SO MUCH FUN!!! Tori just keeps surprising me. She’s a very complex character in some ways — she’s stubborn, brash, reckless…but […]
5 stars — DUDES!!! It got even better!!! I think part of that is that I was already introduced to the characters and the world, and definitely invested. But part of it is the twists and turns and surprises in the story. Cris Dukehart was amazing at narration as always. Honestly, I need to find […]
