A Heart so Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer








my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 Wow, where to start. This book follows Grey has he comes into the realization and reluctance of the reality that he is the Crown Prince of Emberfall. We watch the battle within himself unfold as he faces the realities of what it'll mean if he does decide to become the new king of Emberfall. The biggest battle involving the betrayal 0f the people he cares about most. 

My thoughts. The book started off slow and was largely plot driven. This had me bored at first but halfway through is when we finally dive into Grey's thoughts and the introduction of the secondary characters and the other main protagonists. I love the addition of Iisak, this was an awesome choice by Brigid and I enjoyed everything about his character and the scenes he was involved in. Personally, I could read a book just featuring him! The villains in the story were believable and great additions to the story. They really put Grey in a position of doing the wrong thing for the right reasons and I loved that the ending was messy because of that. The romance of the story was fine. I did appreciate that it was appropriate and that the story didn't "go there." This put more emphasis on the Grey's development in coming into his own. The love interest Lia Mara did bring out the best in Grey which was something I desperately wanted for him. Overall, it was a good story once the stage was set. I can't wait to see what happens with Grey and see what happens in the future for Emberfall.

Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo

  my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huge thanks to DC Comics and Netgalley for this fantastic piece of literary art! I enjoyed this so, so much! I finished it a few days ago and it has been on my mind ever since. This graphic novel is a coming-of-age story featuring Garfield Logan, aka Beast Boy, as comes to understand why he just can't seem to grow any bigger. It's a story of friendship, self discovery, and a super hero coming to life. The art is my favorite part of this graphic novel. It is absolutely gorgeous. The story is well written and relatable for the young and old! I will be continuing the series! Overall, I gave this book 5 stars. I will read this one again and even purchase a hardcopy for myself. If you are a fan of super heroes, READ THIS NOW!

Red Rising by Pierce Brown

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was completely deceived and wrecked by this book. When I was reading it, I was bored and could easily get lost doing something else. But then, I would be thinking about the book later and go back to reading it. So I cared but didn't care? I don't know. I felt like I needed to know what happen but then I didn't. What does that say, probably not a whole lot. This is one of those books where I have to be in the proper mindset. This also falls along of the line of my never ending hate/love relationship with sci-fi. I pick it, I put it down. I switch to audiobook (which helped). Overall, I have no idea how to feel about this book so take it for what it is.  I gave this 4 out of 5 stars because I would recommend it and I plan on continuing the series.

Court's Fool by Frost Kay

  my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huge thank you to Frost Kay for this eARC in exchange for an honest review. This was a satisfying ending to an amazing series. I loved this series from Rebel's Blade and that stayed consistent til Court's Fool. I love these characters and I could easily spend a day in the Aermian Court. I read this book in 24 hours because I needed to finish it ASAP. I've said it before but Frost Kay's writing is easily comparable to popular YA authors at this time. Her stories easily compete with authors like Victoria Aveyard and Sarah J. Maas. I have recommended this series to so many in the past and I will in the future. I love Tehl and Sage's story and I look forward to revisiting their kingdom in future series. I gave this four and a half stars because I would easily read it again and I will continue to recommend it to others. My only gripe is I don't think one of the minor secondary characters, Dorcus played a big enough role to be included in the sto...
