The Darkest Star by Jennifer Armentrout | Sister Review

The Darkest Star by Jennifer Armentrout | Sister Review

This review is a combined effort between me and my sister. We read a book and review it by asking each other questions related to the title we are reviewing. The idea is to provide you with two different perspectives. This review might contain spoilers! We might discuss any part of the story (sometimes the questions we ask each other might be general, while other times they might touch upon something specific about the ending, etc). If you have not read the book and do not wish for the story to be spoiled you might want to avoid this post! Iris asks Merel It’s been quite some time since we last set foot in the world of the Lux. Did you need a refresher on…

The first thing I discovered when I looked up the various bookstores in Edinburgh was that there are a lot of them. The second thing that most of them are independent bookstores. It happens to be that both of those things make me very very happy. I decided on two beautiful, albeit different, independent bookshops that stood out to me (and which I am definitely visiting again). Golden Hare Books Golden Hare Books is my number…

Reign the Earth by A. C. Gaughen | Book Review

Reign the Earth by A. C. Gaughen | Book Review

Reign the Earth is such a richly spun tale full of amazingness that I am having trouble forming cohesive sentences about it, let alone write a full review. However, I decided that I am going to try because I want nothing more than to persuade you to read this book as well. I want to see this book on your shelves, your TBRs, and in your lives, period. Why you need to read Reign the Earth The main character, Shalia, is fiercely loyal and brave. She is such a selfless individual who, when faced with tough decisions, isn’t above doing everything in her powers to do the right thing. I loved getting to know her and seeing how she tackled the struggles that came her…
