To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo
4.0
This book was pretty good if you’re into fantasy and political books, but don’t go into this book expecting great romance.
The plot of this book was really good, and the characters were interesting. I love Elian and Lira’s banter, but their romance wasn’t great. There wasn’t enough buildup towards their relationship, and it felt like everyone forgave Lira way to quick. Like I get that she didn’t do something too bad, but I though the crew in the Saad and Elian basically just forgot what she did, and we didn’t get to see how they felt. The ending just felt a bit rushed, like how most people just forgave Sirens super quickly, which doesn’t feel realistic (yes I do understand that nothing in this book is realistic, but I think it would be better if this part was more realistic).
Otherwise though this book has a really interesting plot line and I loved the different POVs.

The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani
3.0
The school for good and evil is a good book, but there are problems that 11 year old me didn’t realize when she first read this book. There are some sexist parts in this book, that Agatha complains about in the beginning, but then it’s basically forgotten later in the book. Also Sophie’s progression into evil was good, but for Agatha the moment she felt good felt superficial.
Tedros is so annoying.

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

This book was definitely one of the best in The series so far. It was interesting to read and had some good plot twists. I loved seeing Percabeth again, but I think the whole Rachel Dare plot lins was really rushes. Overall though it was a really good book.
A Psalm of Storms and Silence by Roseanne A. Brown
5.0
I love this book. It started off slow like the first book, but as the book progressed it became more interesting. This book makes you feel so bad for the characters. Personally I didn’t really like the ending. I know the point was that it was supposed to be unfinished, but I wish there was another chapter were Malik got it sister back and him and Karina were together, or that the author writes another book or story to conclude their tale. Otherwise it’s a really interesting book. I loveee Malik sm.
The Summer of Broken Rules by K.L. Walther
4.0
4.75 stars.
This book was really interesting. For one, if you’re a swiftie i would recommend reading this book just for the Taylor Swift references. This book was interesting, and the relationship between Meredith and Wit was really fun. Sometimes in this book I felt like they were making a big deal out of nothing, but I think they explained the depth of these things well. One thing I thought was a bit weird was that when Meredith was saying that sometimes she felt mad at Sarah, Wit said “believe me I know”, or something like that, which made me think they were going to add something to that which I’m pretty sure they didn’t (if that sentence made any sense). This book was also pretty sad.
Overall this was a really good book and I would recommend reading it.

I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston
5.0
I loved this book. The storyline was really interesting, and I enjoyed the romance. Somethings in this book seemed kind of random at times, but I think everything was really well written and interesting. I felt like somethings in this book were kind of brushed over, but I understand why the author chose to do this.
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
4.0
This book was interesting, although I did find it less interesting than the first book. Mal was insufferable in this book, but Alina’s character was more interesting. The ending was a bit confusing, and I’m honestly not entirely sure what happened between the Darkling and Alina in this book. Otherwise this was a pretty good book.
Also the relationships in this book are weird. In the first book I was definitely rooting for Mal, but he was terrible in this book and was getting mad at Alina for stupid reasons, and he missed Zoya which sucked. And Nikolai being a love interest for Alina was completely brushed over. He said how he feels about her twice, and then it was completely forgotten about. And what to say about the Darkling. He is disgusting and he’s basically been like stalking her, or he visits her randomly and it’s just super weird and creepy.

Fairest by Marissa Meyer

Some trigger warnings in this review and book are SA, abuse, fire.
I loved this book. It was really nice to learn and understand Levana’s backstory and see how truly terrible she is. In this book you can see how there are many unfortunate events in her life like her sister trying to burn her, but even that doesn’t justify all the terrible things she’s done. The things she did to Evret were horrific, how she SA him, and constantly manipulated him. It was also so sad to see how he married her so he could be alive, and ended up killed by her anyways. This book was interesting to read, but before reading this book you should probably read the TW.
