Spring 2017 Wrap Up

The last three months were a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. It all started off so well, but then things kinda went downhill fast. And because of that my reading did suffer quite a bit. Hopefully things will get better, since I’ve got so many books I want to devour.

Six of Crows

It’s probably not a surprise to anyone to see this on my top picks. I knew I was going to love it, and I was right. This book lived up to all its hype and more. It had the the fast-paced plot I was hoping for and the fantastic characters I knew I’d adore. There’s really nothing else I can say that hasn’t already been said before, other than that everyone needs to put this on their TBRs.

Malice

This was another book I knew I was going to enjoy. It had everything I love in a multiple POV epic fantasy,  and I’m so happy it met all my expectations. The writing was great. The characters were all so well-rounded and interesting to read about. There wasn’t one POV I didn’t enjoy and thats always a big plus. And now that I’m reminding myself why I liked this book, it’s got me so excited to continue on with book 2 (if only this slump would leave me).

The Fifth Season

I won’t talk too much about this, since I did a whole review for it here, but I will say The Fifth Season is one of my huge standouts of the year. I had no clue what to expect and I ended up leaving it extremely pleased. I was so impressed by this book that N.K. Jemisin is now on my list of auto-buy authors. So if you think this will be your thing, then I highly suggest you check it out.

A Court of Wings and Ruin

Even though I’ve been in a weird reading mood this entire year, nothing was going to stop me from reading one of my most anticipated books of the year. This final conclusion was everything I wanted and more. I loved every second I was reading it and I’m so sad this particular arc is all over. Feysand for life.

And although I did give it 5 stars, I do wholeheartedly recognise this book was harmful to so many people. I just hope Sarah learns from this and does better next time.
