This book was so so good. If“Hope was a fragile flicker that he wanted to cup with both hands to protect against the harsh winds of reality.”
✧༺☾༻✧
This book was so so good. If you're here looking at reviews to help you decide if you should read it, take this as your sign. This book was addictive, enchanting, and utterly thrilling to read. The world sucked me in and the next thing I realized was that I needed book two.
I myself am not a fan of SJM's books (mainly because of how acotar was marketed for teens) but I can easily see how this book would appeal to those crowds. A twelve hundred year old Fey Lord whose one of a kind, immensely powerful, and can freaking shapeshift into a creature with wings? A twenty four year old woman who is his truemate. *slaps money on table* Take it! If you're not a fan of those tropes, probably not for you. But if you are… trust me. I typically don't like these tropes, but this book is delicious and cozy, and I can see myself returning and rereading this.
characters:
Rain:
Rainer vel'En Daris, King of the Fey, Rain Tairen Soul. This man is now my obsession. Prepare to be sick of me. This book was published in 2007 and was marketed as an adult fantasy. I am not sure, I would have to see if she mentioned it in any of her interviews online, but there is no way SJM didn't read this series and not, that’s my man right there. That one. There are too many parallels, too many similarities, for instance, "Death-black hair ung in long straight strands that blew about his face in the windy remnants of the tairen down draft. His skin was pale and faintly luminescent, his face terrible in the perfection of its stunning masculine beauty, and his lavender eyes glowed with a brilliant icey fire." Maybe I'm unhinged, but what if I'm not. Is she describing Rhun or Rhys? And this man's name is RAIN. * covers eyes*. This Fey also changes into an otherworldly beast with wings. Has scorched the earth because his E'tani, his heart mate, died. Who does that sound like? *side eye at ToG*. The mention of him purring. His fey leathers and that’s he's fvcking strapped all the time. *falls to the floor* The territorial and the hurt-her-and-you-die-trope, "Rain would destroy anyone or anything that dared to stand between them. And if any dared to harm her, he would shred them without mercy and dance as he drank their blood." I understand this is not everybody's thing, but it is so vivid in my mind. There is also his need to fulfill the "mating" that Rain multiple times in the book has to go off and cool down. And he has deep rooted trauma, "He stood so straight, so tall. So alone." Unhinged and niche opinion: Rhys is just Rain fanfiction. Tell me I'm wrong.
(the lack of fanart for him is criminal. if this series was written in the 2010s you wouldn’t be able to get him off my pinterest)
"tall, lean, and searingly handsome. Rainier vel'En Daris exuded the dark, dangerous beauty of the Fey race."
Ellie:
This book definitely sets her up as an introduction character with the plan of lots of character growth. I think it's also fair to mention here that the author herself said that book one and two were originally one book. Ellie is young and has been raised in a society where looks are more important than what is on the inside. Keeping up appearances is everything. She makes this mistake throughout the book. I won't lie and say its not irritating, but I am choosing to believe that in this five book series she will have character growth. We are able to see a good foundation for it in this book, "She would not cringe from the possibility of trouble; she would meet it with steel." I can always get behind good character growth. Her whole life nobody has thought much of her, and that has led her to believe that of herself. The comments her mother makes to her at the begging of the book made me so mad and broke my heart. "She's got beauty, girl, and wealth. You don't." And then proceeds to approve an engagement to a man who assaulted her! So sorry, no amount of societal pressure can excuse that.
"There is power in you, Ellysetta. Great power."
writing:
This was beautifully written. Lyrical. I adore it when authors add poems at the beginning of chapters. I feel like it adds more to the story. It was very easy to follow along and didn't come off as cheesy. Very well written. She does a very good job of showing not telling without it being obvious that she's showing you.
world building:
I was sucked into this world so quickly. The author does adopt the style of just dropping you into the world with no real setup. Along with the language she created for the Fey. I found this a little overwhelming, I had to go back and reread the prologue twice to understand it, but once I understood, there were no problems after that.
romance:
The romance in this is just my cup of tea. I loved it, it was cute when it needed to be. I liked how it was paced. I liked the efforts Rain went for her. I would be able to write more about it if I loved it less. So a few quotes…
"You need freedom to thrive, just as I do."
"She could have never have called your soul if she were not your equal in every way." again reinforcing my theory that SJM was Rain girlie.
"Since the moment you called me from the sky, I have been more wed to you than any Celierian who stands before a priest to take a wife."
There are so many other things in this book that I could talk about. The foreshadowing. How SJM books have too many similarities to this one, and this is only book one. How I think that the author sat down and thought of everything she loved in a fantasy romance and put it into this series.
"The stars and moon were relentless; even on nights when someone dies, they glittered majestically. The world wasn't beautiful for anyone's sake. This"The stars and moon were relentless; even on nights when someone dies, they glittered majestically. The world wasn't beautiful for anyone's sake. This world was always apathetic toward the concerns of individual humans."

First, how dare Asato Asato end the book on a cliffhanger like that. Absolutely unforgivable.
I watched the anime first, which is now one of my favorites. I couldn't wait to find out what happens when the next season premiers, so I've decided to start the light novel series which it is based on. 86 uses elements from WW2 and the Allies and Axis powers. It talks about the atrocities of war and human discrimination very well and with care. It's set in a world where there is no communication between nations and where the Legion is a threat to everyone, and behind the walls of the Gran Mur, life continues on in its own little paradise that's on a timer to explode. 86 is Attack on Titan and Code Geass's love child.
The writing was cheesy, describing people's eyes like gemstones, Lena being elegant and beautiful. Shin being handsome and cold. Solely based on that the book sounds terrible and in dire need of an editor, but it's also so so good. The conversations between the characters are smooth and the battle sequences are well written.
The only reason I don't give this five stars is because of the writing, but this is one of my favorite amines of this year. This is amazing and I'll die on this hill....more

The whole thing of I'm-going-to-protect-you-because-I-promised-your-father-but-i-have-been-in-love-with-you-since-we-were-children-vibes is really coming on strong and I love it. I loved seeing the Wind Tribe and the world-building is actually brought up in the story which, already, major points for that. I loved seeing the maps and already we're getting some of the political sides of the story. Seeing Su-won's coronation and him believing that he had to do this and he was willing to pay the price and sacrifice Yona and Hak, his two closest childhood friends, to become king it's just too much.
We are already seeing Yona's development when she realizes that she didn't leave Fugga to just continue hiding, she came out to step into her crown and become strong enough to claim the throne from Su-won. Her cutting her hair is so symbolic of her exiting childhood and being carefree and becoming someone who is worthy of being queen. Though Yona may be young and have a lot to learn, she's not afraid to voice her opinion and stand up for what she knows to be right. We love it. We are here for it. There is no King Su-won. Only Queen Yona.

And you are just as strong and skilled as him. I have watched you fight in the streets on the darkest nights. You will surpass him, Clementine. Your magic shines brighter than his."
Welcome to the realm of Azenor, where nightmares come to life every new moon. It's up to Clementine and her father to protect the village of Hereswith from them.
✧༺☾༻✧
I have now read this book three times and it isn't even a year old yet. I enjoy it each time more than the last and it has now become my favorite comfort cozy read. RR's writing is atmospheric and lyrical; each sentence flows easily from one to the next and is like honey for the mind. There are some authors that it is a struggle for them to make the words their own; RR writes with a comfortableness that never makes the reader bored but instead drags them into the scenery and lives of the characters she's created.
It is always hard for me to write a review for a book that I love, surprisingly. It's almost ironic, actually. Books like this fill me with words but they also leave me flipping through the pages rather speechless.
When I first picked this up I had no idea what this book was about or who wrote it; the cover grabbed my attention first but some of the tropes in this story are
✧Enemies to lovers ✧ Knife to the throat ✧ Family dynamics ✧ Sparring trope ✧ Tending to each other's wounds ✧ Dueling magicians ✧ Hidden identities
If I've said it once I've said it a million times. This book is everything I love, the tone, the theme, the characters, the magic, the plot, it hits everything just right, just enough, and when I reached the end of the book I was already going back to back to page one.
the characters
Clementine Madigan: I liked her immediately from the beginning. I love her sense of home and how deeply her loyalty lies with Hereswith and her family. Clem is witty and stubborn and kind and her father's daughter, "I was young and reckless. His one and only daughter who favored the wilder, natural study of magic. " She is confident and unmovable in her convictions. The reader first sees this the fight with the Vesper brothers, "They stood there like they belonged here, like they had grown roots in Hereswith, and I inwardly despised them for it… this was my home and I would defend it." Hereswith is hers and she is not going to let anyone take it without a fight first. She is willing to go to whatever lengths she must to make sure it is returned to her, even giving up her art. I liked the parallel drawn between her and when her father was younger and still in the Seren Dutchy. I love the family dynamics we get to see the Madigans; a broken family. The love and understanding between a father and daughter. The relationship between Clem and Imonie
In the first arc, we see Clem being clever and shrewd. We see her love and kindness. We see her anger and her tears. We see her being connected to something that cannot so easily be broken--she is rooted to her home of Hereswith and the breeze that flows down from the mountains.
"I thought of the different paths we had each taken--vengeance and fear and anger and solitude and pain--and yet how all three of us had ended up here in this strange moment of new beginnings. I once believed that magic and secrets and beliefs had torn us apart. But in the end, I think it wove us back together with stronger threads."
Phelan Vesper: I love how RR had every chance to make him a jerk and villainous, but she didn't take it. He has his own motivations, and he also has familial loyalty like Clem but in the end he makes his decisions for himself. He doesn’t want to be under his mother anymore or the Duke. In the beginning, he is very distant. He is unlikeable and seems to be following his brother's lead no matter if it's right or wrong. But as she starts he plans to take down the Vespers we understand more of his character. Familial bonds play a huge role in the motivations of the characters in this book. Where familial bounds are Clem's strength, they are Phelan's chains. He's in Hereswith for his brother. He looks for Clem partly for himself but is reporting to his mother. RR isn't afraid of exploring her character's flaws, "The pompous, impolite, selfish, tragically handsome Phelan."
He's also lowkey a plant dad.
Honestly, I almost don't want to type it as it's big shoes for him to fill, but there were times,. Just times now, when he gave off Howl Pendragon Jenkins vibes. Maybe I'll regret saying that but I can't not add that in this review. I made a note about it. The times where he gave off major vibes is when he is injured and Clem tends to his wounds in his room, "The knight will no doubt challenge us another new moon, but in this moment… I need you." Ma'am you know exactly what you're doing here. The other time is when he offers her the room and all the clothes. Now, you cannot tell me that RR didn't know what she was doing when she wrote that scene. You cannot .
the writing
"The realms bled together, and I was lost in what was real and what was imagined."
If this book wasn't a love story to imagery and detail I do not know what is. I loved this type of writing immensely. It's not too much and isn't forced into seeing the world in a certain way. It makes one focus on the gold of a watch, the candelabras, and the velvet of a dress without even realizing you are focusing on it. This is why I enjoy stories written in first person so much more than in third because you cannot achieve the effect this has like that. You just can't. No other words other than RR has a beautiful way of writing.
the romance
"He turned my fire into smoke, my winds into dust, my light into shadows. He accepted everything I gave him and yet he didn't retaliate. He refused to counter my moves, and I didn't know if he was waiting for me to tire myself or if he simply didn't want to risk hurting me."
The pacing, the tension, just…yes. I could quote whole scenes. I adored how RR didn't force anything to be said, and by the end of the story, after they both assume their roles as Duke and Duchess they both still have a lot to know about each other. I loved this because although Clem was truthful to an extent he mostly knows her as Anna, not Clem. And Obviously, we all know they're going to be together in the end, but I love an ending like this where not everything is set in stone by the end. Now if a sequel is somehow released for this *crosses fingers* will I buy it? Yes. I like how it ended and how there wasn't any rush to say I love you.
1,000,000/5 stars. My favorite book of 2022 and standalone fantasy! ...more
“It’s hard to resist accepting what the world says about you… That you’ve got a disadvantage, a flaw, a problem. Because, these days, we’re told that “It’s hard to resist accepting what the world says about you… That you’ve got a disadvantage, a flaw, a problem. Because, these days, we’re told that it’s okay to let our problems control us. It’s okay to be the victim. It’s okay… because you have every right to be miserable.”
“But the unknown is something to look forward to.”
“I clench my teeth together; I curl my toes. It’s the opposite of falling apart; the opposite of exploding. I’m like a star before it goes supernova. Collapsing inward.”
This book had so many beautiful quotes that I couldn’t choose one!
How do you write a review for a book like this? Every once and a while you read a book that captures everything you need to hear, everything that you’ve felt. This book was so honest and raw. I honestly have no words except beautiful.
The first four and a half months of 2021 have been particularly hard for me. And then before that you the whole of 2020/COVID-19. Those were difficult months for everyone. This was a light, fun read, while at the same time hitting hard at topic that I needed to hear.
The book starts off with Tessa who has just had her life shattered by a car accident leaving her blind. She doesn't know if she will ever regain her sight or where her life is going from there, she doesn't know how she's going to write poetry and her grandparents place an ad in the newspaper for a typist to type for her. I can feel her pain of not knowing your future, the heartbreak of knowing that you're not the same person you were before. Of feeling like you’ve lost yourself and, you know if you’ve been there, the struggle of getting back up because picking yourself back up hurts so badly and self-pity is an easy balm for it.
Once again, I needed this book.
Both Tessa and Weston's characters spoke volumes to me about not letting life stop you from living.
The mental health rep in this book was real. Tessa's fight wasn’t an uphill battle always. She had highs and she had lows; it was something that she struggled with, something she fought for daily but she got up and went out any way.
I don’t think that I could write anything that would could begin to accurately describe how much I love this book. I love the characters and the message it sends out.
Inspiring and breathtaking and honest and true.
It's official, this is my number one book already of 2021 and my favorite YA contemporary of all time!
100,000,000/5 stars. I love this book and will definitely be buying anything Miss Emmons writes!
"That’s stupid," Ainsley said. "What's the point of being alive if you're not going to be bothered into something better?" "What's the point of being "That’s stupid," Ainsley said. "What's the point of being alive if you're not going to be bothered into something better?" "What's the point of being alive if you’re too busy being bothered to do any living?" Emmeline retorted.
This book was beautiful and everything that I have been wanting in a YA novel for a while now. When I heard about the book, I knew I would love it and it did not disappoint. The book is about Amelia Griffin, a freshly graduated eighteen year old who has been obsessed with the Orman Chronicles for years. They are what brought her and her best friend Jenna together. But when Jenna dies in a terrible car accident and she is left to pick up the pieces of her life, Amelia is having a hard time at where to start until a limited edition of the Orman Chronicles is comes into her life. The book is about her dealing with her grief and trying to pick the pieces up now that she now longer has her best friend.
There are so many thing that I loved but one being the flashbacks of Jenna and Amelia throughout the book. She was constantly there in her mind, and even though she was dead, Jenna was just as strong of a character as the ones that were still alive. I enjoyed seeing the friendship between Amelia and Jenna.
As a reader anything having to do with writing, bookstores, or just books in general, I typically love. And Val's bookstore is something I wish so badly existed in real life! I now want to visit it after getting a mysterious book in the mail and get to stay in a room above the bookstore and come down in the middle of the night and get to wander around. Or better yet, get the cute author of my favorite book series to read to me. It books like this that make me believe in magic, and that maybe its hidden deep in a bookstore somewhere and I just have to find it.
To share another one of my favorite moments from the book is after Jenna dies and Amelia has inherited her library, she goes to the books for comfort. Like many others, this is my first reaction as well; to grab a book and fall into the world bound with the pages. But when Amelia can no longer do this, I started crying! "I've lived in books. I've eaten and breathed books for so long that I took it for granted. I assumed that , if they saved me once, they would always be there to pick me up, even if Jenna wasn’t. But Jenna is gone , and the words stay on the page in their neat, orderly rows. The pages don’t rise up to meet me like old friends and the characters are marionettes pulled by visible strings."
Later on in the story we see Amelia start to use photography as a medium for her emotions and I loved this and when Nolan is telling her that she doesn't have to go to Montana, and that she doesn’t have to follow Jenna's plan; she could be anything she wanted, and that it is not a bad thing, I loved it. When they kept telling each other what the other needed to hear, they both needed to hear it, and in the end they were what the other needed. Nolan tells Amelia that everything is a story and that she just needs to find the one that means something to her.
At the end of the day, it only makes me hold fictional boys at a higher standard than real ones. But at the same time I think the whole book was about going out into the world and finding the story that means something to you; the one you want to tell. I related to Amelia and Nolan both and think Ashley Schumacher did an amazing job! The writing was beautiful, the story and characters were so well thought out and crafted. It was magical, but just real enough to make me believe that there's a belonging out there and people for me just like there was for Amelia.
And that bookstores are totally magical. :)
1,000,000/5 stars. I will be recommending this highly! ...more
"Life before death. Strength before Weakness. Journey before destination."
This is now my second time reading The Way of Kings and I think I love it e"Life before death. Strength before Weakness. Journey before destination."
This is now my second time reading The Way of Kings and I think I love it even more than the first time! Having been caught up with the series and now going all the way back to the beginning, I am convinced that the only way to read a Sanderson book is to re-read it. He has so much foreshadowing. So much detail. I am in awe of how much detail and planning went into this series, I knew but I didn't know. It's beautiful. There are some authors that don't know how the series will end when they begin it. I'm convinced that Brandon Sanderson even planned out what color socks Hoid was wearing in the epilogue. In this reread I was able to catch the things that went over my head the first time.
Where do I begin to write a review for a book like this?
I love Kaladin, he needs to be protected at all costs. Each book focuses on a single characters backstory and The Way of King is Kaladin's. Kaladin's flashback chapter starts as young as ten and is an apprentice to his father to become a doctor. Even as a child growing up in Hearthstone Kaladin often experienced melancholy, especially so during the Weeping period. The person to pull him out of that was Tien. Ahhhhhhhh! And now that he's older that person is now Sylphrena! One thing that I completely missed in my first read of the book was how Kaladin often sat on the roof of his house because he liked to be high up. The last place his family was all together was on a roof!! He is one of the most interesting characters in fantasy to me. Kaladin struggles with his mental health, he does not see himself as a hero but a failure because he cannot save everyone. It's a bit of a complex because it's impossible to save everyone. But couple what his father expected and instilled in him as a young child, his father being the only doctor in the village but was constantly being blacklisted and hated, Kaladin's own personality, and his experiences on the battlefield. It's trauma. What I love even more about his character though is that this growth isn't something that ends in this book, or even in the second. It brings depth to Kaladin's character that at this level is rarely seen in books. Even rarer for it to be done well. In this book, he continues to endure despite everything that has happened to him, and at times he may not understand why he does himself.
Another thing that really stood out to me in this book was that I completely missed the Arthurian themes. With Kaladin and wishing that men were more, as a child having this belief with lighteyes and that they were heroes of legend and great men of honor. As he gets older and sees war he becomes disillusioned and disgusted and how he sees them is cracked a little. His time in Amaram's army twists him, Tein's death, the squabbles between High Princes and darkeyes dying for their whims, the lack of honor. When Amaram takes the shardblade it really is the end of Kaladin's innocence, he no longer views lighteyes the same. He sees them for what they really are and he hates them; he hates the selfishness of those in power. "It's not about Alethkar! It's about you! Storm it, you're supposed to be better than the others!" (704). Words fail me utterly in trying to encompass how amazing this is. I think it's later in the book we truly understand how Kaladin feels, he knows that society won't change and there is nothing Kaladin can do to change it, because he was born a darkeyes. At the end of the book we see this change, it's not the fact really that they moved up in society but the fact that actions do work.
It's also in Dalinar in his hypocrisy from being The Blackthorne to becoming a convicted follower of the Codes. Everyone knows that the Knights of the Round Table were famous for breaking the Chivalric Codes and "falling from grace". Dalinar was a brutal warrior who slaughter and was just as power-hungry as the other High Princes. Now, he's forcing his sons and his entire war camp to act honorable; when he was Adolin's age he was even more materialistic.
This series is everything good about fantasy, cool powers, Knights, ancient lost orders. In an interview Brandon Sanderson said that The Way of Kings was his thirteenth novel, after writing what he thought was expected of fantasy writers, he wrote this book for himself. People think that adult fantasy has to be dark, gritty, with gore and all these explicit scenes set in a dark age. He proves that that is not true. Brandon Sanderson's version of fantasy is filled with awesome powers, wonder, and knowledge. With Jasnah and Shallan we see a fantasy world with characters with a thirst for knowledge. I love this!
If I had to say one thing that I wasn’t too key on, which ends up purely being what I like and I don't, is Shallan (and Wit's) sarcasticness. A part of me doesn’t mind it, but another part of me is worn out by it. I guess the word is that I like it to an extent. For example, the epilogue is much for me. But at the same time, I love it???
That is literally the only thing I'm "ify" about in this series. The only thing. These books are so addictive, if they were any shorter I would be re-reading them all the time. I want to live in the world of Roshar and become a Knights Radiant (I'm a Windrunner).
"If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches."
I first read t"If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches."
I first read this years ago after going to a writing camp. Nothing about these letters isn't personal to me and doesn't hit directly at my soul. I love this little collection of letters written over a century ago with everything I am. When I first read this I was a teenager going through so much, I can remember the exact week I read this actually back in May of 2018, and somehow four years later, to the exact week, I am reading this book again, out of pure coincidence.
These letters and what it does to the person reading them is something I will forever be chasing. It's what I look for every time I pick up a book. Every time I sit down to write. Something that connects with me. Something that is so personal and introspective, but it is not unique. We are solitary beings, but we read and create art to know we are not alone. It endures becausewe are not alone. Because it in no way is the human experience singular to a person.
Rilke didn't have to hit this hard, and he did--even when he said he didn't want to write, when he was going through his own stuff he was still able to create this masterpiece along with others. "Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quotes words that sometimes do you good. His life had much difficulty and sadness and remains far behind yours. Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words" I couldn't imagine, being Kappus, and getting a letter like this. I would go absolutely feral and undoubtedly ugly cry and read it over and over. Probably get it framed and pass it down as a family heirloom.
There's one specific quote from this book that when it was first read aloud to me at the writing camp, was so profound and touched me so deeply, that it felt like coming out of water. It was everything that I needed to hear because of what was going on around me. All the rage and sadness and grief I felt in that week, God it felt justified. It felt right where it had only felt wrong. It was like everything was burning down around me and I couldn’t do anything to stop it. When I heard this quote it was like everything went silent.
"How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.
So you must not be frightened if a sadness rises up before you larger than any you have ever seen; if a restiveness, like light and cloudshadows, passes over your hands and over all you do. You must think that something is happening with you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall. Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any miseries, or any depressions? For after all, you do not know what work these conditions are doing inside you.”
I had this quote hanging above my bed and I would look at it every morning. How Rilke views life and how he speaks about how one should live is enough for anyone to be able to fall in love with life itself. It makes me want to get up and go on a hike and watch the sunrise. Rilke's writing is so lyrical, and I can't imagine reading it in its original language. It makes me want to learn German just to be able to read his poems. The only way to truly know just how good this book is, is to read it for yourself. And reread it. Annotate it, underline, make it yours. Get ripped to shreds by his words and get put back together perfectly somehow.
There's nothing more that I can say than that this is my favorite book ever. If there was only one book I could recommend for the rest of my life, it would be this one. Coming back and reading this has been pure joy. These letters give me comfort, and there have been times that I have forgotten them but needed them. I literally wish I could quote this entire book, "You are so young, so before all beginning, and I want to beg you as much as I can, dear sir, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try and love the questions themselves."
"…find patience enough in yourself to endure…. And for the rest, let life happen to you. Believe me; life is right, in any case."
