Alina Starkov’s power has grown, but not without a price. She is the Sun Summoner – hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took…

79. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
It has only taken me six months to get around to reading this series. I have wanted to read it for a while but was weary of the hype surrounding it. In my experience I usually don’t get on well with hyped books but I reminded myself to read this with an open mind and…
61. Mirror Gate (Harbinger Book 2) by Jeff Wheeler
Off the back of reading Storm Glass, I jumped back into the world with this second installment and wasn’t disappointed!! Synopsis (as taken from Amazon Kindle Store) is as follows: Though relations between Princess Seraphin Fitzempress and her father have been strained, Sera’s royal position has remained unchallenged. Filled with self-doubt, she struggles to grasp…
60. Storm Glass (Harbinger Book 1) by Jeff Wheeler
This book popped up on Kindle and after reading the premise, I couldn’t not read it. At the time of writing this, I am currently reading book 3, so you could say I’m enjoying it! Synopsis (as taken from the Amazon Kindle Store) is as follows: Theirs is a world of opposites. The privileged live…
50. Shadowscent: The Darkest Bloom by P.M. Freestone
Over the weekend I convinced my friend to let me into a bookstore. I was given strict instructions to only buy two books and was marched out as soon as I’d bought the two books. This was one of the two books I purchased and I have to admit that I finished reading this the…
39. The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
This book has been sitting on my shelf for the better part of a year. I got it into my head that I didn’t want to read it until the entire trilogy was out so that I could read them back to back. I had heard a lot of great things about this story and…

29. The Mermaid by Christina Henry
My sister got me this book for my birthday. I’d heard great things about Christina Henry and was interested so see where she’d take this classic story. It was also interesting to read about P.T. Barnum in a light that wasn’t glamourised by Hollywood. Synopsis (as taken from the back of the book) is as…
25. The Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
I bought this partly on a whim in Waterstones and partly because it had been recommended to me by a great many people. I was hesitant to read because when I was a teenager I read a lot of stories based on the Fey and ended up getting bored with the repetitive nature. I made…
