Queen Of Shadows (Throne of Glass #4) by Sarah J Maas Review

  Hi Foreverbookers,   How are you all today? I hope you’re well!  I’ve just finished “Queen of Shadows,” book 4 of the “Throne Of Glass” series Sarah J Maas, and I bloody well LOVED it. It’s amazing to think that I didn’t think much of “The Assassin’s Blade” or “Throne of Glass” itself but I’m LOVING the latter books in the series!  In Queen Of Shadows we’re following our main protagonist from the prequel novella collection, “The Assassin’s Blade” and all the other books so far, Celaena or Aelin as she’s known in “Queen of Shadows” more, as she and her cadre become significant to the running and fighting of Erilea and Terrasen, where they live. There are surprises in the plot that I didn’t see coming. For example, when Aedion, Aelin’s cousin, gets captured and tortured by the King, Dorian’s father. Can he get out alive or does he die? You’ll need to read to find out for yourself! Also, what happens to Dorian? After losing the love of his life, Sorcha, ...

Dark Waters (Small Spaces #3) by Katherine Arden Review

Hi ForeverBookers, How are you? I hope you’re well! I’ve just finished “Dark Waters” by Katherine Arden and I enjoyed it. It wasn’t as good as “Small Spaces” or “Dead Voices,” books 1 and 2 in this series, in my opinion but it was still a good read.  4 Stars! “Dark Waters” takes us to an island with our characters, Ollie, Coco and Brian. There’s another child this time as well, Phil as well as Coco’s mom and Ollie’s dad. What I did appreciate in this novel was the presence of the parents. In most middle grade/young adult novels, the parents don’t really play a part but in this one especially, Coco’s mom, who plans the trip to the island and Ollie’s dad who just goes along for the ride do play a vital role. If I’m being honest, the atmosphere in Dark Waters let it down considerably for me. It just didn’t feel as scary or dangerous as the other two books did, and I think that being stuck on a deserted, unknown island is scarier than either of the other two premises. You’ll know ...

Unbirthday by Liz Braswell (A Disney Twisted Tale) by Liz Braswell Review

  Hey ForeverBookers, I’ve just finished “Unbirthday” by Liz Braswell. I know I said I was going to do a couple of rereads but I wanted to fit a new book in between. I’ve reread “GILD,” and I’ll reread “A Discovery of Witches” next. Anyway, I surprisingly enjoyed “Unbirthday” a lot. At first it was quite boring, but as I got about 100 or so pages in the story started to become more enjoyable with twists. Each “Twisted Tale,” “Unbirthday” is one of the newer ones of those, has a question on the cover. “What if Wonderland was in Peril and Alice was very, very late?” is the question here. 3 stars! “Unbirthday” is set in a fictional English town called Kexford. Alice is an ordinary girl, who went to Wonderland as a child. When she goes back, what’s changed?  I read Unbirthday for a few readathons again. They were: Reading Rivalry - A YA novel - “Unbirthday” is very much a YA novel so fits in here perfectly. The politics aren’t too much and the romance isn’t too ...
