broken wish by julie dao

this book was absolutely beautiful. it was one heck of an emotional rollercoaster but it was so worth it. i screamed. i cried. i smiled. i threw the book.       ((written on january seventh, 2022))

overhyped fight me. also i read it for english class and every book is less enjoyable when you're forced to read it                                                                                ((written on december thirteenth, 2022))

'in these dark times, it's those small acts of kindness that keep us alive, after all. they remind us of our humanity'

raybearer by jordan ifueko

☆★★★★ finished 2/8

high fantasy + ya

pretty good. the romance was really well written and the plot was really intriguing. my only problem was it got pretty confusing near the end, and the pacing felt like it went from really slow to really fast in a matter of paragraphs but that could just be me. the writing style was really beautiful and the characters were loveable. overall a great book.
