It reads exactly like So, the negatives first: the prose somehow reads like a stilted translation. This novel has the subtlety of a kick to the face. It reads exactly like a debut novel, and doesn't offer much originality. However, once the MC started going insane I was ABSOLUTELY seated. I love criminal, unhinged women <3
But more than that it's a women-led story about a family of immigrants, about being an eldest daughter, and fighting against the real horror: white men who fetishize Asian women. The MC's protective love for her mother and little sister fuels the whole story, and emerges as very twisted yet sweet. Also is it just me or was she totally gay and in love with her friend Alexis lol
Fun, quick, easy read if you're looking for some body horror ...more
This was a beautiful gothic nightmare! The Wicked and the Willing is an f/f dark fantasy romance, and when I say dark, I really do mean dark. There's This was a beautiful gothic nightmare! The Wicked and the Willing is an f/f dark fantasy romance, and when I say dark, I really do mean dark. There's lots of gore and vampires. But more than anything, you have a messed up dark lesbian romance with blood, manipulation, ownership, and a huge power imbalance. So if you crave gorgeously problematic sapphics, then this is the book for you.
But it's so much more than just its horror. The historical Singapore setting adds so much depth and flavor to the universe. On one hand, I'm always eager for non-Western historical romance or vampire fiction. But on the other, this had an honest, Southeast Asian gaze — no pacifying its Western audience, no self-Orientalizing from the diaspora author. It's a fantasy at its core, but it also touched on colonization, immigration, classism, Singaporean multiculturalism, even anti-Malay racism... Basically it speaks to authentic experience, and not just a Wikipedia version of Singapore.
There's a love triangle but I think the author resolved it really smartly; she wrote two endings so you can choose which one you like. Now I'll be wondering why other authors don't do this lol
My only real complaint is that the heroine Gean Choo gets really really annoying with her naivete and uselessness. This becomes so much more obvious in the second half, when all the consequences and drama ratchet up to eleven. I think what makes it worse is that both her love interests are much more interesting in comparison. There's Verity, her cruel vampire mistress who still manages to be the most ethical of her species; and Po Lam, the butch lesbian right hand woman who is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. I enjoyed her romance with each lady, but I sorely wished she had more of a brain.
Anyway, this isn't for everyone. The extreme gore and messed up love aside, it's got a really slow pace and it's honestly too long for a romance (it's over 400 pages). But it's a gem and I highly recommend for you to give it a shot, at least, if you can handle it. I cannot think of any other book that compares ...more

My edition was actually sold out for a good while, and even after I ordered it, I was under the mercy of Philpost's months-long journey before I got it into my hands. But it was absolutely worth the wait. I can't believe the hype was right.
This is one of the easiest books to pitch on earth: an older woman, now incarcerated, recounts her past as a food writer and then serial killer and cannibal. She's intelligent, narcissistic, psychopathic, has a taste for all the finest things in life... and she knows it. Her candidness is refreshing; she doesn't bother making herself look sympathetic. She doesn't care about good or evil or making excuses. She just wants, and whatever she wants, she grabs with both hands.
Our protagonist Dorothy is a food writer born from the excess of the 1980s publishing industry and it shows. Her narration is not rhythmic poetry, but it is tantalizing and full of quips. It reads like, well, very verbose food writing. So if you ever wanted to read food described like sex and murder described like cooking then here you go. She isn't just a female Hannibal Lecter; she is her own person, and she WILL make you remember her. Dorothy's voice is just so strong and compelling. I read almost 200 pages in the span of 24 hours.
She recounts her life and her experiences with the men she fucked, killed, and cooked. She recounts her career and decadent lifestyle. More importantly, she recounts all the luxurious things she ate. As a(n Asian) millennial/gen z cusp, it's honestly wild to read about her journey through the 80s yuppie era to the 90s magazine boom to the 2000s blogosphere and eventual 2010s social media era. I know it's highly satirical fiction, but some of the cocaine and the high-rolling were real lmao. It's all very American Psycho.
Other things I liked: the occasional commentary on womanhood and gender. It's very quotable and definitely reads like the author once had a magazine column, but you know what, I liked it. My book is well-tabbed.
Reasons why this isn't a full 5 star book: I appreciate that this novel is short and the author didn't drag it on too long, because if she did, the novelty would've worn off. Still, it felt a little abrupt. Her relationship with best friend Emma felt too much like telling, not showing, especially near the end. And okay, at one point I really did wish she'd shut up and move on from all the food/cooking descriptions. Throwing around Italian and French words doesn't make you sound better than all of us, ma'am.

I'm a huge fan of this series and I still really enjoyed this sequel but it was so messy. Way too many POVs, super weird shifting between first person and third person POV SOMETIMES IN THE SAME SCENE, and random shifting between past and present tense. I need to know why Mr. Dickinson's editor didn't do anything because that was so jarring and annoying to read.
Despite that this book made me love Baru so much more and I think she's now one of my most favorite fantasy antiheroines of all time. Her ego has been knocked down a peg; she's grieving and confused and vulnerable, but she must keep going. And the consequences of her "use everyone as pawns to gain power" master plan finally catch up to her.
We're introduced to new characters, some I liked and some I utterly despised. Honestly there's an archetype for every reader. The pacing is slow, and even more bogged down by the overabundance of POVs and flashbacks, though once the action kicked in I had a roaring good time and remembered why I love this series so much. Hint: Baru metaphorically destroying a nation by causing inflation, pitting powerful people against each other, and thirsting over women.
World-building is dense and introduces some really fucked up stuff in line with the tone of the series. I liked how it broadened the world and we were introduced to more cultures, nations, and players in the war game.
Other things I loved: the naval fantasy aspects, Baru's heartbroken pining, her musings on her homosexuality given her homophobic upbringing, everyone snarking at each other because they all hate each other but have to work together
A 3.5, though I'll definitely read the succeeding books. Recommended if you were a huge fan of the first....more

WHY IS THIS SERIES SO UNDERRATED!! I don’t understand. It’s written with so much heart and has all the best tropes (enemies to lovers, bed sharing, morally gray MCs, etc)... At some points, it even feels like a fanfic, which shows how much Skrutskie understands how to feed her readers.
This is also a great sequel that broadens the world-building, rounds out Cas’ character arc, gives us more Swift x Cas, asks the tough morality questions, and ties up loose ends. Plus it was just loads of fun and easily binge-worthy.
FYI I do have some writing issues. Both books could be fleshed out more, as Skrutskie’s writing is too minimal for my taste. Every switch between slap and kiss in Cas and Swift’s relationship felt abrupt (as in, it makes sense but comes out of nowhere and could do with smoother transitions), but I still finished it on a high. Highly recommended! Oh, and the ships are super iconic — ...more

This book will appeal to a certain type of reader, and that reader is ME. Here are all the reasons why I adored it:
-sapphic rivals to lovers -homoerotic obsession with beating each other. "I can't stop thinking about her... ONLY I AM ALLOWED TO DEFEAT HER... DEFEATING HER IS MY REASON FOR LIVING... This is definitely because I hate her, yup, no other reason. I definitely want her to die." -monster girls!! -ff grumpy x sunshine dynamic, except it's literal because Marynka is fire and daylight incarnate while Zosia is shadows and the night -MLM AND WLW SOLIDARITY !! THE MLM COUPLE WAS FRIENDS TO ENEMIES TO SOULMATES AND I JUST KSFKJSFKDF both couples are idiots to lovers tbh -Jasinska's usual gorgeous writing style -Vivid atmosphere and attention to historical detail -Historically accurate diversity in 18th century Poland!! Even I didn't know it was a melting pot of Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike. It also tackles Poland's situation with the Russian empire.
I've read a lot of YA fantasy but this one really stands out. It's languid, sure, but it's as delectable as honey. It's just so palpable. I felt like I was in 18th century Poland myself, riding sleighs and eating pastries and fighting with swords in the snowy forest.
The only reason this is a 4.5 is because the pacing is a little unsteady. The first portion is really slow-going, and it didn't help that I was in a huge reading slump during that time. It's more character-driven and sets the stage. I have a feeling that some readers will DNF at this stage. But then the second half becomes more fast-paced and I devoured it immediately!
This review isn't enough to cover just how blown away I was by Jasinska's vivid setting. In November I'm releasing an interview with her that explores it deeper, so keep an eye out for that.
Most importantly, let me talk about these characters!! Because the romance was just delightful. As a self-proclaimed villain monsterfan enemies to lovers stan, I felt like the author was one of us. Zosia and Marynka (and their third friend Beatka) are assistants to three sister witches. They are known by their pseudonyms Midnight, Midday, and Morning, respectively. True to their names, their powers are drawn from the hours they rule over. So Zosia is a loner, very cold, frightening, and secretly ambitious. Marynka is passionate and fiery, cheerful, an utter chatterbox. They've spent their entire immortal lives competing against each other to collect prince's hearts for their masters. I mean, literal hearts, because eating hearts gives you power. For years, they've played a cat and mouse game, always just missing each other -- until now, when they are both assigned to the same prince, and encounter each other during the Karnawal.
And thus begins their game. While Zosia and Marynka compete to kill the prince, they join all matters of Karnawal events: masquerade balls and sleigh parties and ice skating. Of course, at one point they realize they're having more fun one-upping each other than actually killing the prince. And at one point, they realize they're more similar than they thought -- and maybe there can be more to this life than being two servants...
Their romance was utterly tropey and I loved it. In many ways, this is a quiet book -- there is no epic quest (only a small competition), no heroine heading a revolution, no deadly court intrigue. But I felt that it's YA fantasy at its best: just pure fun, and clearly written from the heart.
Also, please, I need to know more about the prince and his boyfriend-who-he-definitely-hates. I just love it when heteronormativity is turned on its head and instead of 2 straight couples, we get 2 gay couples who have to save their own idiots lol.
I was already a fan of Alicia's debut, and now I'm even more excited to see what she writes next!

A sequel that’s actually good? Wow. I did not expect that ending. I have a few complaints, and this could have been fleshed out a bit more, but all in all I really enjoyed how this expounded on the first book. Brinn’s character arc especially went in an intriguing direction. There was cool black-hole portal cosmic horror stuff. And I liked the new characters, even if they were a little flat. If anything though, this sequel made me realize that I really don’t care for the romance and Knives is pretty meh. Ia and Vetty though? ❤️❤️❤️
I’d also like to add that this is one of the few YA sci-fi series that actually tackles complex themes such as imperialism, internalized racism, assimilation, and the effects of war on both sides. And I like how it was explored. This series is SO underrated. Do check it out!...more

I'm actually disappointed this is a standalone because I NEED MORE. Absolutely hilarious; this had me giggling out loud. Unputdownable, compelling, and smart. Plus, I've grown attached to these characters and relationships and hate to let go. I loved everything about this, from our henchwoman turned supervillainness protagonist Anna, to the wider cast of characters (her friendships are great, as is her surprisingly tender relationship with her scary villain boss Leviathan), to the plot and worldbuilding. This novel is also so casually queer (Anna is bi), which is wonderful!
Shockingly relevant too in 2020. Reading this in between breaks while working from home was an experience lol. I mean... Anna's powers are data analysis. She's an evil project manager. I'm crying.
My only real complaint is that the chapters are absurdly long. I was about a hundred pages in and only on CHAPTER TWO. But thankfully there are frequent scene breaks so it isn't too overwhelming.
You don't have to like superheroes to enjoy this book. In fact, it fondly pokes fun at the whole genre and makes you root for the villains and poor guys stuck in between. ;) Perfection....more

OMG! What an underrated dark fantasy with a female villain origin story (reminiscent of Maleficent), slowburn sapphic romance, and unique and gorgeous worldbuilding. Please ignore the cover and summary; this book deserves so much more than that.
Honestly, I wasn't sure if I was going to pick this up because the atrocious summary really did not appeal to me. But then my friend recommended it and I'm so grateful she did, because this is soo up my alley.
In Briar, women called Graces exist: humans born with magical fae power that can be combined with elixirs to give the drinker beauty, wisdom, grace, etc. Most Graces have powers of light and goodness, but our protagonist Alyce is a Dark Grace. Half-Vila, she is an outcast due to her dark powers. She's a broody and bitter gal... and I absolutely adored her. What happens when you're raised to view yourself as a monster? What happens when you realize you deserve better and want to fight back?
Princess Aurora, heir to the Briar throne, is cursed to die on her twenty-first birthday unless she's kissed by her true love. Sick of having suitors thrown at her for her entire life, she decides to break the curse herself. Along the way, she encounters the mysterious Alyce. The two become fast friends... and perhaps something more.
But Alyce learns that there is more to her Vila heritage than meets the eye. She's more powerful than she could have ever imagined. And either she can break Aurora's curse... or make it worse.
I know this novel is technically an Adult Fantasy but it reads like YA. These girls read like teenagers, not grown women. Therefore I'm shelving it as YA fantasy. And it is a really, really great YA fantasy! Antiheroines like Alyce are so rare. I was charmed by her immediately, because at the end of the day she's clearly a victim tired of being abused.
The worldbuilding is really refreshing. I mean, Sleeping Beauty-inspired worlds and fae are a dime a dozen, but the way the magic system was established and the other kingdoms and even the history of the universe are really well done. I had a perfect idea of what Briar was like, both past and present. And you get glimpses of the larger world outside of Briar.
Unfortunately, you can really tell that this is a debut. The novel suffers from glacial pacing and a predictable final quarter. If I were Walter's editor, I'd request her to cut 50-100 pages from this novel lmao. The middle section where Alyce learns to control her powers and how to break the curse is really repetitive. And since the romance is a suuuper slow burn, you don't have the benefit of romantic scenes to tide you by. It's really more of a character-driven story, where the romance is a tiny subplot that serves Alyce's own development. Actually, Aurora has no personality outside of "feisty princess who wants her own life" lmao.
I enjoyed the final plot twist, but imo it was way too rushed. It could have been slowed down so that it would have happened more naturally. I'm very curious on how the sequel will go, but I'm not sure if I'll continue. Regardless, this is a gem of a novel and I'm very excited to see what this author will write next!...more

@ Everyone who said I would enjoy this more than The Cruel PriLmao at that Yuri on Ice reference in the epilogue. Holly Black is a Viktuuri confirmed.
@ Everyone who said I would enjoy this more than The Cruel Prince, you are right. This is just so much better in every possible way. I feel like The Cruel Prince was just filler and THIS is the point of the series.
Also, it's super short, which I love. Short but action-packed, twisty and turny, full of great character insight and straight to the point. How can I read another meandering 500 page fantasy novel after this?
5 star ratings are hard. Let me just summarize what I liked:
1. Finally, some smart political scheming! I was disappointed by the lack of that in the first book, because Holly Black has proven herself capable of it. (Hello, White Cat). But she resumes her throne here.
2. The character development. Everyone has considerably matured. There are no schoolyard bullies anymore; only courtiers and rivals for the throne. If you were annoyed by how high school the first book felt considering this is a fantasy world of fae, then you'll be more content with this one.
3. The added worldbuilding. I loved the Undersea chapters. They're so spooky and unique. Or maybe I'm just super into underwater worlds? Lol this kind of reminded me of The Winter Duke so check that out if you wish there were more Undersea scenes.
4. Judecardan dynamics. Hehe here they are again, in their endless dance. One step forward, two steps back. Or is it? The novel is very plot-driven, but if you're in it for the ship then you won't be disappointed. And wow, that ending! Je t'adore. Fantastic.
TL;DR Read this series for The Wicked King alone! Am excited to dive into the final book. :) ...more

Once upon a time, a book took Twitter by storm. Enemies to lovers, they promised! Nasty, cruel, morally gray protagonists! Twisty political scheming!
And this is the story of how Twitter's overhype and high expectations ruined my enthusiasm.
See, this is not a bad book. I was enjoying the first half greatly, and I will read the sequel because it's very promising. But things unraveled by the midpoint and I was constantly underwhelmed. I think this is the type of book that is appealing if you haven't read much dark fantasy or court intrigue. Unfortunately, it was published in 2018. And I have read and loved Holly Black's older works. I know she can go darker. I know she can get smart and twisty. So I will not be easily forgiving.
WHAT I LIKED
1. The characters. I love Jude. I love Cardan. Every character in this novel is complex and distinct.
2. The worldbuilding. Black has written over 10 fae books and yet this one was just as luscious and wonderfully constructed as the others! She spins a lush, languid fairy tale setting that I could imagine vividly. There's culture, geography, politics, cuisine, EVERYTHING. Wow.
3. The final 10%. This is where Jude's plot starts falling into place and all the twists slap you in the face. That ending is iconic, I agree.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
The plot.
Or rather, the unraveling of the plot.
The concept is very promising. Jude is tired of constantly being powerless; now she wants to take power for herself. Yes, you go girl. I thought the build-up was excellent, and then the ending, when she realizes there's a better way to go about things. But the middle was a slog. I just expected more intrigue. More complexity about the political scheming. There were a lot of filler chapters that should have been shortened so that the twisty chapters that were too short could have been lengthened. Jude is literally a spy! And I was so bored! Ack.
I was also disappointed by the political scheming. It felt clumsy. I'm a big fan of White Cat; I know Black can do intelligent and cunning protagonists. But a lot of it didn't feel organic (more like new info comes up at convenient moments). The ending is good, very good, and even I didn't see it coming. But I wish it didn't have to take over 300 pages to get there.
Plus, I think here is where I could have benefited from not knowing so much about the book. There are some iconic scenes that fans have hyped up over and over. But when I reached them, I was quite underwhelmed. Several twists also felt predictable but I'm not holding that against the book since I'm not sure if that's also due to my exposure via Twitter. Timeline osmosis, folks.
I do appreciate Black's dedication to the slowburn romance, although I'm not entirely happy with how it panned out. The couple's scenes are so tense and emotional but for some reason it still felt distant. Eh. Maybe it's a me thing.
Lastly, I don't understand all this hype about Jude being an unlikable or cruel character. I love her. But she's not. She's really not. She hasn't hurt anyone who didn't deserve it. She's shaped by the cruelty around her; she's shaped by her trauma. But she isn't as horrid as she can be. Even in the end, as she becomes the so-called villain, she did it for the greater good. She isn't morally gray, not really. And I know Black can do true morally gray. Sigh, Twitter overhyping it as usual. I just really wish my mind wasn't so clouded by other people's opinions when I went into this book. I feel like I missed something.
Still gonna read Book 2 though. You better not disappoint me....more

I don't even know where to start. Dickinson's novel is so well-researched and careful (so don't worry if you were raising your eyebrows at a white man writing a story about a qwoc fighting imperialism), clearly pulling from history. But while the tools and experiences are familiar (invasion via trade and then violence, spreading plague, destroying language and culture, reprogramming children, stamping out indigenous religions, racism and white supremacy, enforcing nuclear families and homophobia), they're melded well enough that you can't identify one nation as being inspired by a specific real-world country.
The Masquerade's imperialism is just so /broad/ in scope that the reader feels as powerless as our antiheroine Baru does. And therein lies the question: how do we defeat them? Do we destroy them from outside, or from within? And in that process, how much of a monster will she become?
If you want gut-punching intellectual grimdark then this is definitely going to be your jam. My heart always went with Baru, no matter how terrible her actions are. But then again, we're only at Book 1 lol and judging by the other book titles, things will just get worse.
It does start out really dense and slow, but I didn't consider that a deterrent. This is a novel of high-level machinations, of war and deception rather than hand-to-hand combat and personal intrigue, so don't come here looking for action movie level fight scenes or heart soaring romance. Still, it had me gripped by the throat, and I could not stop reading! Like, how do I even explain how obsessed I was with this girl defeating her enemies by calculating taxes and redirecting warships and feigning alliances. She doesn't have to lift a sword to defeat anyone; her strength is in her mind, her fingers, her voice and the respect she garners.
And it is a respect hard-won, because she constantly suffers due to her race, gender, and closeted sexuality.
Everyone comments about how cold Baru is; how she's so obsessed with money and numbers that she doesn't realize other human beings are also players, and not just pawns. But her relationships were also the core of this book -- it's just that she's on a path that does not allow for a soft heart. Dickinson just ground my heart into a meaty pulp and I'm thanking him for it.
Also, I am such a simp for Tain Hu.
Well, I could write ten more pages of rambling, but I won't. I want to read the sequel immediately but I also don't, because this book is just SO HEAVY and I sense it will get more and more depressing.
This is the only novel worthy of the neverending Game of Thrones comparisons. Definitely one of the best fantasy novels I've ever read....more

Listen, everything about this book called to me. A ruthless, selfish protaThis is competing against The Shadows Between Us for worst book of the year.
Listen, everything about this book called to me. A ruthless, selfish protagonist. Dark blood magic. Gay romance. But absolutely nothing about the pitch is done right.
Something about this novel just feels very... off and incomplete. Absolutely nothing is fleshed out. The funny thing is that I do like the main characters... but they feel like absolute caricatures with no depth. It's cartoonishly bad. I'm hoping that the author wanted to make me laugh on purpose, because it's sad if she didn't mean it. I appreciate the self-awareness though; Emmanuella may be insufferable but at least the narrative touches upon it, unlike in Shadows.
The author mentioned this book is weird and she's right. Normally I love weird, but this was just. Bad. Like, what was the point of it all? The stakes are high but you aren't given enough time to care about them. The plot was a mess that made me wonder if the author was just as lost as I was.
I DNFed this even before I reached the romance, sadly, because I don't want to waste any more brain cells on this.
Am only rating this 2 stars instead of 1 because I appreciate the originality, even if it is full of audacity. I'm legit surprised this got published....more
