House Of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J Maas Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  I’ve just finished reading “House of Earth and Blood” (Crescent City #1) and I bloody ADORED it! It was soooooo good. I loved how it was adult but also fun and had many funny moments as well as tense moments.  4.5 Stars!  “House of Earth and Blood” tells the story of Bryce Quinlan, a twenty three year old, half fae girl. Her father is King of the Autumn court. And her brother on her father’s side, Ruhn is special or is he? I liked Ruhn but not as much as Hunt, who enters the plot near the beginning of the novel but not right away. Near the beginning, Bryce loses her best friend Danika. She dies in a horrible killing. This killer is revealed later, near the end of the book. Bryce gets put with Hunt, a fallen Archangel to determine who is the killer. Bryce works at Griffin Antiques, a gallery under the lead of Jesiba Roga. Bryce doesn’t like her boss. This was a funny relationship to read. I enjoyed how annoyed Bryce got with Jesiba. Hunt needs Bryce’s...

Ship Of Destiny (The Liveship Traders #3) by Robin Hobb Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you all today? I hope you’re well.  Earlier on today I finished “Ship Of Destiny” by Robin Hobb. I surprisingly enjoyed it. I thought it would take me months to get through, like it did with “Ship of Magic” and “The Mad Ship,” books 1 and 2 in “The Liveship Traders” trilogy, but I’m very pleased to say that I highly enjoyed it, so much that it took me only around a week, and for a book just over 900 pages, I think that’s pretty good. 4.5 Stars! I read “Ship of Destiny” for a few readathons. They were: Reading Rivalry - You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home - Althea certainly has a moment of “coming back home,” I’d say.  Always Fully Booked Reading Challenge 2026 - Read a book set on a boat - Almost all of the plot of Ship of Destiny is set at sea in one boat or another, so I’m counting it for this. NOTE: There’s mention of blood and gore in “Ship of Destiny” and some sexual advances as well as rape scene.  Spoilers Below “ Decided!”...

Binti: Home (Binti #2) by Nnedi Okorafor Review

  Hi ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished “ Binti: Home,”  the second Binti novella by Nnedi Okorafor and I really enjoyed it!   3 Stars!  “Binti: Home” tells the story of Binti when she goes home from Oomza University, the planet that she travelled to in the first novella to study to become a Master Harmonizer, like her father. She takes her friend Okwu with her. He’s finally sexed here as a male, but is still referred to as it as well as he, him. While on earth, Binti learns of a secret organisation that her grandmother is a part of. Could she be a part of it too? I read “Binti: Home” for a readathon, which was: Reading Rivalry - The Best Of Both Worlds - Binti is literally set on two different planets.   Spoilers Below… “The sunlight shined on me edan, which floated before me in a network of current, a symmetry of parts. I’d never seen it disassemble like this and making it do so had not been my intention. I’d been trying to get the object itself to com...

The Princess Diaries - Takes Two (The Princess Diaries #2) by Meg Cabot Review

Hey ForeverBookers, (I forgot to post this when I finished reading The Princess Diaries - Takes Two by Meg Cabot so here’s my review for it in real time…) I’ve just finished reading The Princess Diaries - Takes Two by Meg Cabot and I loved it. It a really fun and entertaining read. I thought it hinged more on adult than it maybe should have but I think that a mature Young Adult reader could read it still. Mia, our FMC comes across as grown up while being a fourteen-sixteen year old.  3 stars!  I read this for Reading Rivalry - Passing On Your Legacy - no one dies in this book but eventually, Clarisse will pass on the royalty of Genova to Mia, as that’s where I was going with this.  Spoilers Below… “It is so incredibly embarrassing. I mean, that my mom and Mr Gianini, you know, Did it. Worse, that they Did It without using anything. I mean, please. Who DOES that anymore?”  Mia is struggling at the beginning of the story with the news that her mom is indeed...

Lore Olympus, Volume One by Rachel Smythe Review

  Hi ForeverBookers, How are you? I hope you’re good! I’ve just finished reading “Lore Olympus, Volume 1” and I really enjoyed it. It’s a graphic novel so an easy read.  I read “Lore Olympus, Volume One” for: Reading Rivalry -  Read a book set in 2 different worlds. The mortal realm and the underworld both feature. Always Fully Booked Reading Challenge, 2026 -  A book hyped on social media - Lore Olympus had sooooooo much hype when it was released!  This won’t be an in depth review but just to sum up the main points: In “Lore Olympus, Volume 1” we follow Persephone, our FMC. She wants to go to the underworld, after having been raised in the mortal realm. Her mother, Demeter doesn’t want to let her go, but after Persephone promises to train as a virgin she allows her her freedom. While in the underworld, Persephone meets Hades, an enigmatic god figure at a party she goes to with her roommate, Artemis. She feels an instant attraction to him. I feel this series w...

Binti by Nnedi Okorafor (Binti #1) Review

  Hi ForeverBookers,   Last night I read the first volume of BINTI by Nnedi Okarafor. I surprisingly REALLY enjoyed it! It’s a short novella but certainly packed a punch! We follow our FMC, Binti who is wanting to become a student at the famous Oomza University to study maths and become a “master harmonizer .”  This is someone who wants to understand how the universe is put together. She has to travel far to the planet of Oomza University, yes, a whole planet is dedicated to being a university, to do this. On her voyage she is joined by various young people, including her crush, Heru. He doesn’t have any page time, apart from being murdered by the Koush people. These people invade her ship, “The Third Fish” and kill everyone but her and the driver. What happens from there? I’ll let you read for yourself but it’s very good and rather interesting. I enjoyed it anyway.  I read Binti for a few readathons. They were: Reading Rivalry - An Afrofuturism read - this ...
