Okay so it wasn’t a cliffhanger but I think I’m dead. Because the next book isn’t out for ANOTHER YEAR. I don’t know how I will survive. Sabaa Tahir is inflicting such sweet torture on me. This review contains spoilers for An Ember In The Ashes. Proceed at your own risk. So the book picks […]

I don’t know why I was putting this off for so long. Because I think this has become my official favourite book. It’s right up there with Harry Potter and Percy Jackson which is an extremely hard task to accomplish. Sabaa Tahir is a magician and I would sell my soul to have known this […]

Has anyone ever been in a reading slump that they desperately wish to escape? My go to in such situations are always old books, usually romance and sometimes my old friends, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. But there is one book I turn to in almost every sad slump, when no one is releasing anything […]
