The Named (Guardians of Time, #1)The Named by Marianne Curley
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The Named was... boring in every way possible. It just didn't appeal to me at all, the characters, the plot, or the world building.

The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden, #2)The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

By the time the novel arrived at my doorstep I was gleefully caressing the book like a maniac. I was totally head over heels on its beauty.



I was so eager to read the book, alas, I didn't have the time until weeks later.

The anticipated wait for months was worth it.

Born Wicked (The Cahill Witch Chronicles, #1)Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I tried, I really tried to love the book. All the interesting elements are there, witches, beautiful sisters, utopian setting, mysteries. But I just couldn't.

The Devil's Metal (Devils #1)The Devil's Metal by Karina Halle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Takes a bit to build up, but once you get to the middle of the book, you can't stop reading because of the action!

Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days, #1)Angelfall by Susan Ee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Please don't kill me. No matter how much glowing reviews from the top reviewers of Goodreads, and how much I want to like it since, you know, they know their thing with reviewing. I just can't.

Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1)Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(SPOILER BELOW SO PLS APPROACH WITH CAUTION ;) )

Unlike most others, I didn't get into this book because of the Game of Thrones tagline. It was mostly because of the author coming from Fictionpress, and the badass synopsis promising an awesome MC.

Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1)Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

HOLY SMOKIN' ASS.

That was... phenomenal! I can't even say... I'm rendered speechless by it's amazingness (is that even a word?).

Seriously though, I cannot believe this is Leigh Bardugo's debut novel. At all. The writing style, characters, the plot, the world building was almost perfect. It's terrifying how accomplished Bardugo is on her very first novel.

Shadow and Bone was that good until the point I stayed awake util 5 AM in the morning to finish the book entirely. I spent six hours reading and unable to stop myself at all. All I could think about was "I must finish this bloody brilliant book."

GO AND GET THE DAMN BOOK. YOU'LL MISS OUT A LOT.

The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden, #1)The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Immortal Rules was such a joy to read. It was a constant adrenaline-pumping read. It makes you be on the edge of your seat.

Everneath (Everneath, #1)Everneath by Brodi Ashton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 stars, leaning more towards 4 stars.

Everneath was... okay. Good but not blindingly awesome.

The reason is because after a few days I have finished the book, I have forgotten what the hell Everneath was about. Not forgetting in every bit of sense, but I forgot the main character's name, the initial start. I have a bad case of short term memory. It's useful for reviewing, though. I always remember my favourite books' characters.

Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles #1)Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh God. I can't even.

Melina Marchetta is every bit of brilliance. Finnikin of the Rock shines sublimely and I couldn't stop reading it at all. I'm at loss for words to even begin with. I can't explain how brilliant the book is, because explaining won't do the book justice. Just read the book. Trust me.

The world building, plot, characters, execution compel me every page. The plot, surprisingly, was every bit unpredictable. I really didn't guess any of the revelations coming.

Sheer brilliance.

I don't have anything else to say. Go and grab the book!
