Reviews, Discussions & Rambles
This is a strange post to be writing, and if you’d asked me at the start of the year that I’d be here, writing a post listing down everything wrong with the final book in what used to be my favorite trilogy of all-time, I would not have believed you. But here we are and here this is. I read…
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Magic is women’s work, while fighting is men’s – those are the ideals that govern eighteen-year old Salo’s life. But he’s never been very good at conforming to his tribe’s ideals, and despite the tribe not having a fully developed mystic of its own which often leads…
Please be warned that as this is the final book in a trilogy, the review will contain SPOILERS for the first two books: The City of Brass and The Kingdom of Copper. The Empire of Gold begins immediately after the second book ends: Daevabad has fallen, with Manizheh at its head and Darayavahoush standing squarely by her side. Nahri and…
Hello, hello, hello! As we’re all stuck at homes, trying to keep away from friends and families, what better way to pass the time than through some readalongs?! You pass the time by immersing yourself in a great book, one that you might have wanted to get to soon anyway, all while participating in an online community. It’s a win-win,…
Hello, hello! I sincerely, truly hope that you’re reading this post with you, your family and your friends in good health. March has been an exhausting, never-ending month. It’s been taxing, being constantly made aware of the frailty of human existence, of the failures of our governing bodies to put in place the systems that will protect us. I, like…
I’ve loved a lot of characters in all my many, many years of being a reader. As a character-driven reader, I find myself getting attached to characters very easily, staying up until the early hours of the morning, crying over their plights and pains. But it’s not until recently that I cracked the code to which characters always end up…
Hello, hello! I hope you’re all doing well! Today, I’m bringing to you a slightly late February wrap-up. It was an exciting month for me because I got into law school! Two of them! I’m still waiting on one school to get back to me before I can make a decision on where I want to go, but it’s such…
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Please be warned that the book revolves around sexual assault and its aftermath, so my review will be discussing these aspects too. Elle and her friends Mads, Jenny and Summer rule their glittering Los Angeles circle; they are the girls who have an untouchable sort of power,…
Hello! Hope you’re all doing well! Today, I’m doing something different on the blog, and that is a post full of recommendations of books written by South Asian authors, specifically books written by desi authors. If you don’t know what the term “desi” means, it means people belonging to the Indian subcontinent which includes India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. I’ve often…
Hello, hello! I hope you’re all doing good, and that the start of the year has gone well for you. January was a busy month for me, because I had to get my law school applications in order. I’m still applying to universities, but hopefully, I’ll get all my applications in the next couple of days. Applications cost so much…
