ya fantasy – Just Read It

The Bone Spindle

When life gives you a queer Sleeping Beauty retelling, you read it.

These Violent Delights

Well, well, well… if it isn’t me arriving late to the party. My bad.

Legendborn

I have a lot of feelings about this book so strap in.

The Shadow of Kyoshi

In the sequel to Rise of Kyoshi, we follow Kyoshi and her band of misfits as they continue on their mission only this time, Kyoshi is determined to find Yun at all costs.

Supernova

The Renegades trilogy started a few years ago by Marissa Meyer and I’ve been reading it since 2018. I was really excited for the final novel in the series and it came out at the end of last year, so why did I wait until now to read it? Because I’m a big baby, that’sContinue reading “Supernova”
