Mini ARC Reviews: Girl Made of Stars (A New Favorite that Made me CRY) & Isle of Blood and Stone (Surprisingly Entertaining)

I love books that go beyond my expectations.

I mean, who doesn’t?? It means a lot tp ME, because usually, books end up being worse than I expected and I get hit by disappointment like no other.

But this time… IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

I liked these books better than I thought I would??? Surprise!!

Girl Made of Stars was one of my most anticipated releases of the year (I saw that my request had been accepted at school and struggled not to scream) and it was even better than I had imagined. So SO GOOD.

And I honestly didn’t expect much out of Isle of Blood and Stone besides an average fantasy (especially since the beginning was slow) but it ended up surprising me and being much more entertaining than I’d suspected!!!

The Nowhere Girls // Important Messages on Feminism & Rape Culture aka Read This Immediately [ARC Review]

So I absolutely ADORED The Nowhere Girls.

Pretty cover?* Check. Important messages? Check. Great characters? Check. AND SO MUCH MORE.

It was just such an inspiring book, and it’s something that I feel EVERYONE needs to read, because it’s just so so powerful. It made me feel all sorts of emotions—sadness, anger, frustration, hope, bittersweetness… I’M JUST A MESS FROM THIS BOOK OKAY.

Just read it pleeeeeeease.

*Obviously this comes first.

Starfish // Much Love for this Gorgeous Book w/ Great Rep, an Asian MC (!!!), and Gorgeous Writing! [ARC Review]

I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK.

Was that a little too straightforward?? Hahaha NEVER. Starfish was amazing and I adored it and I will forever treasure it and its gorgeous cover and its gorgeous characters and ASD;LFJASLKFJASDL;FJ. <– I’m a mess, as you can see.

This book just has so many great and beautiful things about it and I’m going to SCREAM about how much I love this??? It got five stars in the departments of characters and rep and characters and WELL-DEVELOPED ROMANCE and just everything???

Not to mention that absolutely STUNNING cover wow I will never be as pretty as THAT. *heart eyes*

I CANNOT STOP GUSHING OVER THIS BOOK please help.

An Enchantment of Ravens // So Much Potential, but an Overwhelming Romance (I’m so Salty) [ARC Review]

I am very very salty over An Enchantment of Ravens.

Did I expect to love it? Yes. Did I expect it to live up to the hype? Yes. Did I expect it to be worthy of the pretty cover and a great first ARC and a story about the intriguing world and NOT all romance? YES.

And did I get any of those things? NO.

Thus why I’m salty.

As much as I hate to review an ARC so negatively, it’s important for me to get a review back to the publisher in exchange for receiving the (BEAUTIFUL) book for FREE, so here we go!

A Conjuring of Light by VE Schwab // aka a Conjuring of Absolute Destruction and Heartbreak #help

I am utterly and completely DESTROYED by this book.

A Conjuring of Light by VE Schwab is absolute PERFECTION. I finished it on Tuesday and fangirled a bit (A BIT) in Wednesday’s post, but OMG IT DESERVES A REVIEW. IT IS JUST THAT AMAZING.

You know when you finally finish a book and just breathe out a sigh of relief??? Like “omg I’m done wow it feels so weird to finish”.

WELL. MULTIPLY THAT BY ONE MILLION AND IT STILL WON’T BE ENOUGH.
