๐งญReview: Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang๐งญ
"Blood Over Bright Haven is a flawed novel. But it is also a brave one. And more importantlyโitโs an honest one. It asks the right questions. Even if it doesnโt always answer them well."

โจReview: A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid โจ
I wanted to feel something more by the time I turned the final page, but instead, I was left with the sense that the book had faded away like mist over the cliffs.

โจReview: The Teller of Small Fortunes โ Julie Leongโจ
"I imagined an atmosphere where tiny prophecies found in coffee grounds would nudge people into heartwarming, if slightly absurd, situations. Unfortunately, thatโs not quite what I got."

โจReview Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch โจ
"What sets Rivers of London apart is its ability to turn the city itself into a character. Aaronovitchโs love for London is evident in his detailed descriptions and creative use of its landmarks."

โจ My 7 Favourite Books of 2024โจ
Out of a total of 61 books, these were the 7 best ones.
thereadingstray.com/2025/01/10/7...
I love this book so much. Iโve been yearning for a truly epic story, and I finally found it. Found family, coming-of-age, and chosen oneโthese are my favorite tropes, and theyโre all here. I absolutely love the characters and canโt get enough of Corban and Kastell. This series is so getting binged!
โจ My biggest Book disappointments in 2024 โจ
Not every book can be a 5 โญ for me, but maybe for others ๐

Lapvona by Or Tessa Moshfegh. It's so disturbing but I like it a lot :D

โจMy Review of Lady Macbeth by Ava Reid โจ
"Ava Reidโs Lady Macbeth is a triumph of feminist fantasy, a novel that is as thought-provoking as it is devastatingly beautiful."

I don't know what to read next after the Empire of the Wolf series... I want another 5 โญ series. Can someone recommend a nice epic fantasy series ? + If it's set in a snowy setting.
