I never thought I’d review a Jennifer L. Armentrout book, but here I am writing one for From Blood and Ash.
The last book of hers I had tried to read was Storm and Fury. I didn’t make it two chapters before I DNF’d the book and said “not my thing.”
To be fair, I’d never read a JLA book …
Leigh Bardugo is the creator of the Grishaverse which now spans three different series. If you came here looking for books like Six of Crows, you’re in the right place.
Full disclosure, I’ve never read Six of Crows. It’s on my TBR. I’m putting this list together for my readers who I know are fans of this particular book in …
I debated whether I should post a review of A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas. There’s really not a whole lot to review.

Full disclosure, I received an ARC copy of Twin Daggers from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I was a little late in finishing this as Twin Daggers published during my busy season at work and I fell off my review schedule for a few months.
Unfortunately, I DNF’d Twin Daggers.
I don’t normally review DNFs, and as …
Ignite the Sun by Hanna C. Howard is like sliced bread.
You know what they say about sliced bread.
XYZ is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Whatever you decide to put in the blank, it’s probably better than Ignite the Sun. But that’s not to say that Ignite the Sun is bad.
Quite the contrary.
Sliced bread is pretty …

We’re doing something a little different with my “Highly Anticipated” list this year. Instead of scouring the web, I asked our community of 30,000+ YA fantasy fans over on the YA Fantasy Addicts Facebook group what their most highly anticipated new YA fantasy books of 2021 were.
