Whispers of the Deep

Whispers of the Deep (Deep Waters, #1)Whispers of the Deep by Emma Hamm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.7 / 5.0

UPDATE: My first reading of this was so quick, I immediately went back to reread it. This world and characters have become an all-time favorite. I love the imagination and lore of the world, the way the characters (even as different species) have presence in the world, and how the interactions of the two cultures clash in a plausible way. This book and the others in this series are fantastic.

This was a one day read and absolutely exquisite in its angst, slow burn, spice, and plot. Definitely worth it.

Until Next Time

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab My rating: 5 of 5 stars 4.5 / 5.0 This is lovely and heartbreaking and gives the same vibes as Addie La'Rue. I adore it and will be rereading it. The ending, which I can see how people feel is weak, is so infinite. Schwab gives us all the pathways as they were written and then lets us know the characters still walk on but the path into their future is in our imaginations. It does the same thing as Addie. Overall, I enjoyed this. The writing is beautiful, the characters are so complex and interesting, and the setting could be a travel guide. My only complaint was sometimes the lamenting went on and on and on, but overall this is a great story and a good read. Until Next Time, MC View all my reviews

Kill Creatures

Kill Creatures by Rory Power My rating: 4 of 5 stars 4.0 \ 5.0 Ooo, this is intense! The twist at the end and the way all these characters are so devious, had me devouring this. My only complaint was the fatalistic, almost over the top dramatic voice of the main character. Maybe if I was younger I would appreciate the writing style more, but it didn't add to the overall story for me. Until Next Time, MC View all my reviews

The Audient and The Phantom Night

The Audient and The Phantom Night by Sadie Hewitt My rating: 5 of 5 stars 4.7 / 5.0 Are you a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean? What about Disney princesses? Ok, and let’s mix in the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse but as pirates, because remember Pirates of the Caribbean, well, then you’ll enjoy this. The FMC starts out weak and the writing isn’t the best, but then the FMC matures and the writing improves along with her, and by the end it’s all good (very Frozen coded and obvious foretelling). I had fun with this and consumed it in one day. The cover is also spectacular. Also, the “magic” is cool and I want to see where the other books (3?) will go. Until Next Time, MC View all my reviews
