Sky in the Deep | Adrienne Young | 3 stars

I read Sky in the Deep after requesting it as an ARC from the publisher. I'm usually a little reserved when it comes to books about the far past. I can't really tell you why that is, because one of my favourite books ever since I was sixteen is Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel. …

Children of Blood and Bone | Tomi Adeyemi | 3.5 stars

I just went to YALfest, the biggest Dutch YA event (organised by different YA publishers, which is quite unique). Tomi Adeyemi was there to promote her debut Children of Blood and Bone.

When I read the premise to In Search of Us by Ava …

Queen of Shadows | Sarah J Maas

Queen of Shadows Sarah J Maas Bloomsbury (9781408858615) Warning: as this is a reread, I am giving more spoilers than I normally would. I'd advise not to read if you havent'finished Queen of Shadows yet! I genuinely reckon you could have ended the series on this book, and have it be satisfying (enough) for your readers. Luckily, we still …
