  • Book Review: Fourth Wing & Iron Flame

    These books reviews I try to be as vague as possible because I don’t want to give spoilers of the books. I hope to see more people read these books because I couldn’t put them down.

    Title: Fourth Wing

    Author: Rebecca Yarros

    Theme: Romantsy

    Characters: There are many characters in this series. The main people that you need to know about are Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorsen.

    Places: Basgiath War College and Navarre

    Thoughts: I loved how this goes into the story what it takes to become a rider as well as the slow burn of the relationship between Xaden and Violet. The scene of battle and training pulled me more into the story. The relationship between Violet and her dragons is so amazing! Yes I did cry towards the end for the death of a certain character but was in shock at the very end.

    Rating: 5/5 ⭐️

    Title: Iron Flame

    Author: Rebecca Yarros

    Theme: High Romantsy

    Characters: Just like Fourth wing there are many characters but in this book it brings in more characters that bring the story alive.

    Places: Aretia (A-race-sha), Basgiath War College, Navarre

    Thoughts: I loved this book. I read through it even faster than I did with Fourth Wing. I loved the battle scenes as well as the smut scenes between Violet and Xaden.

    Rating: 5/5 ⭐️

  • Book Review – Icebreaker

    Title: Icebreaker

    By: Hannah Grace

    Theme: Sports Romance (There is smut)

    Characters: Anastasia Allen, figure skater looking to get on Team USA. Nate Hawkins, captain of the hockey team.

    Rate: 5/5 Stars

    Thoughts: I love the banter between the characters. I love the fact that the beginning of the book you could tell that they had the tension between them but when the tension between them stops from a party that Nate planned. The description of the smut scenes and the way that they were written they make you feel naughty and almost like your in the scene as well. I love the way it just played out I could feel like I was apart of the story itself.

    Title: The Highland Kiss

    By: Amy McGavin

    Theme: Romance

    Plot: Emily gets stood up at the altar and take a month vacation away from London to a small-town in the Scottish Highlands called Bannock. While on her vacation, she ends up not only finding love with Ally but finds out her passion and herself all again.

    Thoughts: I absolutely loved this book. The relationship between Ally and Emily makes me think about how the relationship is between my fiancé and myself. The banter between all the characters and the description of the scenery make me feel like I am there with the characters! 

    Rating:

    4.5/5 ⭐ I only took a half a start away from the rating because it took me a little bit to get into the reading and fully immerse myself into the book.
