BOOK REVIEW – The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #0.1-0.5)
SPOILERS The Assassin’s Blade deploys one white savior tale after the other.

BOOK REVIEW – Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #7)
I wonder if Tamlin, from ACOTAR, broke into TOG and is pretending to be a young princess who loved her kingdom…very much. SPOILERS Though the circumstances have changed, Aelin is the exact same girl who was introduced to us in the first book. Seven novels, one novella, and the character arc is flat and uninspiring.… Continue reading

BOOK REVIEW – Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #6)
“I may not be a warrior waving a sword about, may not be worthy of your glorious tales, but at least I save lives–not end them” (452).

BOOK REVIEW – Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #5)
MAJOR SPOILERS Have you asked yourself why Aelin is so forgiving of Elena when she discovers her betrayal? Why she doesn’t rip her ancestor limb from limb for her atrocities, which would be very characteristic of the FMC? It’s because Aelin would’ve done the same. She would’ve bartered the lives of innocent people to amend… Continue reading

BOOK REVIEW – Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #4)
“You think I don’t love these gowns and jewels? But in the end…they’re replaceable. I’ve come to value the people in my life more” (pg 404) SPOILERS Queen of Shadows centers on the struggle between renouncing the past and assuming the diadem of responsibility. Pity that our heroine’s primary concern is only for herself, a… Continue reading

BOOK REVIEW – Greek Mythology and Religion in Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #3)
“We pity you, each and every one of you. For what you do to your children. They are not born evil. But you force them to kill and hurt and hate until there is nothing left inside them–of you. They have made you into monsters. And we feel sorry for you” (533). SPOILERS While reading… Continue reading

BOOK REVIEW – Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #2)
“You will never be my friend. You will always be my enemy” SPOILERS The battle to quell rapacious men becomes an elusive feat when friends start betraying friends because it’s easier to acquiesce than it is to fight. All three of the main characters are guilty of retreating when their moral responsibilities feel insurmountable. Take… Continue reading

BOOK REVIEW – A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas (ACOTAR #3)
“Only you can decide what breaks you, Cursebreaker. Only you” SPOILERS AHEAD The characters in this story are not just fighting a war against physical enemies, but inner demons that breed paranoia and walking contradictions. Rhysand is a self-proclaimed menace who continually fails to protect his loved ones. Feyre is the forgotten wraith with a… Continue reading

BOOK REVIEW – A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas (ACOTAR #2)
“He thinks he’ll be remembered as the villain in the story. But I forgot to tell him that the villain is usually the person who locks up the maiden and throws away the key…he was the one who let me out” SPOILERS I wrote in my review of ACOTAR that a beast’s charm is what… Continue reading
