72. Malamander by Thomas Taylor

65. A Kingdom of Exiles (The Outcast Series) by S. B. Nova
This is one of those books where the hype around it had gotten so big and I kept seeing it featured on Instagram and in bookshops but I wasn’t sure if the hype would be worth it or even if I’d enjoy the book. I decided to get it on Kindle Unlimited, knowing that if…
