Review: A Marvellous Light

A Marvellous Light A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trigger/Content Warnings:
- murder
- off page suicide
- violence
- torture via curse
- loss of will and bodily autonomy via magic

This was a very charming, magical murder mystery. And I didn't guess the main antagonists, so extra points for that. However, my favorite part was the slow-burn romance. I know some people - *cough* my book bestie *cough* - can't stand them, and some of them can feel too long or too forced; but this one felt as natural as breathing. I like that they were trudging along with their quest and their walls, and one day- and they don't know when or how it happened - they looked at each other and thought it'd be nice to make each other smile every day for the rest of their lives.

Once upon a time, Modern Millie travelled back in time and did a bunch of things that were not possible for women during the Victorian era. Along the way, she met an android disguised as a human that could slice and dice and speak every language. He also had a superpower: to annoy this particular reader to the point of pain. Literal pain, mind you. I rolled my eyes so hard and often that I gave myself a headache. Together, they set out to alternately annoy and bore the shit out of me, as it was also her superpower; and solve a murder that I, myself, solved before 40% of the book had been read. Unfortunately, they survived to annoy and angst me into...

Review: The Ruin of a Rake

The Ruin of a Rake by Cat Sebastian My rating: 5 of 5 stars Just...perfection. I'm so happy that I stumbled across this trilogy; they were each a perfect blend of romance, emotion, and humor. I found myself lost in each character and actively rooting for their happiness. All good things must come to an end, but *happy, contented sigh* ... View all my reviews
