I first read Mortal Engines in high school and I loved it. When I saw they were making a movie, I knew I needed to reread it and refresh my brain prior to seeing the movie. Y’all I’m sad to report the book wasn’t as good as I remember. Now some of that may be […]
I began reading Sky Without Stars prior to the book’s release, but y’all I underestimated its length. 😂 I spent the last two weeks on another planet. While Chatine was chased by Policier droids, I held my breath. I swooned over the slightly incompetent Marcellus, and I rolled my eyes at the smart yet naivé […]
I had a hard time getting into True Born by . There is a lot of info-dump at the beginning as the author sets up the world, but once I got past I’d say the first third of the book I was hooked. True Born takes place in a dystopian society where a mysterious plague […]
So I am super late in getting to this book but y’all it is SO good!!! The Darkest Minds by is one of the darkest books I’ve read in a long time. I mean it’s like The Hunger Games and X-men had a baby this would be it. I listened to this book over a […]
Island of Exiles by is an addictive, high-stakes read. I found myself engrossed from page one. What makes it so addictive was the unique world-building and setting Cameron developed through the eyes of her main character Khya. It is unlike anything I’ve ever read! Khya is a warrior, put simply. She, like everyone else, puts […]
When I first came across Second Star by on another blog, I noticed two things: the sci-fi cover and PETER PAN. Y’all this is not a drill! Second Star is a sci-fi/space opera-ish retelling of the famous boy who never grew up. It took me a few days to read all the way through the […]
I loved the Divergent series by but that ending….ugh!!! It’s been nearly six years and I still can’t even with that ending. SO naturally I was cautious about reading Carve the Mark. However I was pleasantly surprised. Despite a slow start, Carve the Mark was exactly what I wanted out of a YA dystopian scifi. Alternating points of view between two […]
To say I was excited when I found out that was writing a spin-off series to Lux is an understatement. I was bouncing off my seat giddy! The Darkest Star doesn’t disappoint either. It delivered a unique tale that both honored the original series with some cameos and easter eggs AND continued the world-building. Set roughly five […]
Post-nuclear war society. Dictators. Pirates. Revenge. Romance. SPACE!!! Y’all this book is fantastic 😀 The Heights of Perdition by is the first book in her series. It is unputdownable (is that a word?). I could not read it fast enough. If you enjoy dystopias and science fiction, I highly recommend it. Aeris and Captain Chainsword Aeris, or […]
Why oh WHY?!?! I’m feeling all the emotions right now! Smoke and Iron by is the much anticipated 4th book of and picks up right were Ash and Quill left us hanging. Without spoiling that one, I’ll just say that Jess and Dario’s harebrained plan has left the friends split up and being tortured….yeah good going guys 🙄 Jess, […]
