“With him, I am forever a night-blooming flower, attracted and repelled by the heat of the sun.”

The Stolen Heir by Holly Black

January 8, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

Wren thought she was a normal human girl until the night when scary monsters out of a nightmare came and claimed she was in fact their daughter and had to come back to Faerie with them. Lord Jarel and Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth rip away her human glamour and make sure that Wren sees her human parents reject her faerie self (bluish skin, blue hair, mouth full of razor-sharp teeth) with horror and disgust. The cruel faeries, accompanied by the fearsome Stormhag […]

One of my favourite book club picks of the year

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

December 31, 2022 by Malin 4 Comments

Viv the orc barbarian has had enough of the adventuring life and leaves her band of fellow warriors after one last battle with a particularly challenging monster. Instead of fighting, she dreams of taking all her savings and putting them towards a business of her own. In the city of Thune, she plans to open a cozy little shop, selling something called coffee. Turning a worn-down livery stable into a pleasant café isn’t exactly something Viv’s warrior training prepared her for, but she manages to […]

This is a story about the brothers Lynch

Greywaren by Maggie Stiefvater

December 31, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This book is the third and final in the Dreamer trilogy, which in itself is a follow-up to the four-book Raven Cycle. It very much doesn’t stand on its own and won’t really make sense unless you’ve read the previous books. The place to begin is Call Down the Hawk, or if you want to read all the books about Ronan, Adam, and their friends, The Raven Boys. I’m going to be honest, while I normally love Stiefvater’s writing and willingly go along […]

“Declan had put his identity crises on hold multiple times for the greater good. Matthew had only been asked to do it once.”

Mister Impossible by Maggie Stiefvater

December 29, 2022 by Malin 1 Comment

This is NOT the place to start if you’re not caught up. Begin either with the start of this trilogy, Call Down the Hawk, or with the start of the previous series (in which Ronan is an essential character), The Raven Boys. This book kicks off a little while after the rather dramatic cliffhanger that the previous book left us with. Ronan and Hennessey are fugitives from the Moderators, learning new and helpful tricks to deal with their mysterious hunters from the enigmatic Bryde. According […]

You’re a cold-hearted snake…

Be the Serpent by Seanan McGuire

October 26, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

CBR14 Bingo: Series (this is book 17 in an ongoing series, do NOT start here). Could easily also have used this book for Snake and New.  Spoiler warning! This is book 17 in the series. It’s impossible to review the book without referring to events in earlier books, so if you want to remain completely unspoiled, skip this one. I’ll try to avoid any big spoilers for this book. October “Toby” Daye not only survived her wedding, but so did her husband, Tybalt, King of Cats, and all […]

Levi…*heart eyes*

Fangirl, the Manga. Vol 2 by Rainbow Rowell, Sam Maggs and Gabi Nam

July 30, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars CBR14 Bingo: Bodies (Cath and Levi become a lot more aware of each other’s bodies in this volume – not like THAT. Get your mind out of the gutter!) Cath has started getting more comfortable at college and with her classes, but she still finds it difficult to reconcile the fact that her twin, Wren, is having such a great time without her. Wren is embracing the party lifestyle and seems to spend a lot of evenings out drinking with her roommate. Meanwhile, […]
