This week’s review is for The Girl With No Reflection by Keshe Chow, and I’m very thankful that I’ve been able to read it several months early due to being on Keshe’s street! I’ve been looking forward to this since the book announcement pretty much, so I jumped at the chance of joining the street team to be able to read it early. I thoroughly enjoyed this and I’m looking forward to what Keshe writes next, but read on for my full review!

Hello! If you’re new here, Jade Fire Gold by June CL Tan is one of my all-time favourite books, so I’ve been very very excited for Darker By Four for a long time.

Today’s review is for Sound the Gong, sequel to Joan He’s 2022 story Strike the Zither, and the final instalment in the Kingdom of Three duology. Strike the Zither was one of my favourite reads from 2022, so I had pretty high expectations for its follow up! It didn’t disappoint in the slightest though, it had all of the appeal from book one with (somehow) even more of an emotional kick to the guts. I cried, a lot, and wholeheartedly recommend this duology! It’s a definite new favourite. Read on for my full review! (Be wary if you haven’t read book one, but I’ll keep spoilers as limited as I ca ..read more

Today’s review is for The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon, a Southeast Asia-inspired fantasy with a great dose of Reylo added in. Ever since I first saw the book announcement for The Hurricane Wars, even before the stunning covers were revealed, I’d been super excited for the story. Reylo but make it fantasy? I was absolutely excited for that! This book didn’t let me down at all, it was everything I hoped for and then some. Full review below.

Hey loves! Today I’m sharing my review for Guardians of Dawn: Zhara by S. Jae-Jones, which is a book I’d been very excited for since the beautiful cover was announced, and I’m happy to say I absolutely adored it! This story was fairly cheesy (but I loved it all the more for that) and was full of beautiful representation. I don’t remember the last time I giggled and cried so much at a book, so hands down I’d recommend this if you’re after a book to put you in a good mood! Read on for my full review.

Hey loves! Today I’m back with another episode of ‘Elizabeth Lim made me cry with her gorgeous world-building and story telling’, see: Spin the Dawn, Unravel the Dusk, Six Crimson Cranes and The Dragon’s Promise reviews for past examples of this. Her Radiant Curse is an origin story for one of the side characters of the Six Crimson Cranes duology, Shiori’s stepmother. If you’re familiar with the duology then be prepared to feel extremely emotional, but if you haven’t read it yet then Her Radiant Curse is an excellent starting point for Lim’s wonderful world, you can head straight to reading th ..read more
