I tore through Aveyard’s third (but not final) book in the Red Queen series. These books have some addictive qualities: they’re easy to read, and they’re really, really hard to put down. Just one more chapter and I swear I’ll call it a night – two hours later at 3 am, you say the same thing….
Glass Sword is the second book in Victoria Aveyard’s wildly popular Red Queen series. In this young adult high fantasy, the world is divided by blood type: red versus silver. The Silvers maintain control with their varying paranormal abilities while the Reds, normal humans, serve and die underneath them. But a rebellion is growing with…
Another hyped-up series! How can I resist? I’ve been looking to get to this series for a while and now that the third book is out, I went ahead and got all three for a back-to-back reading. Red Queen has been blowing up GoodReads since its release in 2015 and judging from the sheer volume…
Sarah J. Maas has been dominating the bestseller lists and the GoodReads Choice awards for the past couple of years with her Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses series as she’s been churning out novel after thick novel in both incredibly popular series each year.

The Winner’s Crime is the second in The Winner’s Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski, a young adult high fantasy based on a world similar to this one but steeped in the past with traditions of imperialism, conquering lands, colonization, and the taking of slaves. Imbued with a romance between the highest and the lowest of societal standings, this second…
Am I late to the party? The Winner’s Trilogy has been a young adult favorite for a while, but I like to wait until at least three books in the series are out (usually) for a back-to-back read. The first two books were GoodReads Choice Award Nominees for Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction in…
Naomi Novik is the New York Times bestselling author of the Temeraire series.

The Mistborn saga is not over, but the first trilogy ends with book three, The Hero of Ages. Spoilers for the first two will be impossible to avoid in this review. The third book in Sanderson’s unique high fantasy wraps up Vin and Eland’s quest to stop the end of their world of mist and metal….
