"I will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but mine." 


⚠️ If you haven't read Shadow & Bone and Siege & Storm, there are mention of some events in this Review which might spoil the story for you ⚠️

Power of Stag and Sea Whip, she's got it all and Alina craves for the Power of the Firebird 
Handful of Grisha survived the Darkling's attack on Os Alta and they had no choice but go underground under The Apparat's refuge to escape Darkling and his Shadow Army. 
Alina's last encounter with Darkling left her weakened and also her hair glistening white. Her attempt didn't kill him rather merely vitiated him. She can't use her power staying far below the ground. Alina has to go above ground not only to use her power but also to find the Firebird which will complete Morozova's set of Amplifiers even though if it means risking being caught by Darkling. 
With no news about Prince Nikolai, everyone is hoping he escaped and he is their only hope to free Ravka from Darkling. 
Alina's relationship with Mal remains strained and it doesn't get better with dangers falling upon them with every passing minute. 
Nikolai's proposal of being his queen and bringing Grisha & commoners together doesn't make it any easy for her to decide. 
But first she has to kill Darkling and hope that the Shadow Fold destroys with him.

Again, Leigh has managed to lure us in her world. When I first started reading the book, I had no idea it would be knitted so beautifully and thoughtfully, she has embedded every single page with detailed layout of the story. Her every character has their own story and they all are protagonists in their own way. The characters carry themselves gracefully rather than leaning on the people at center of the story. Genya, Zoya, Tamar, Tolya, David, Baghra without any of them this story wouldn't be as reverent and magnificent than it is with them and their stories. The end of Ruin and Rising is bittersweet and still feels like it's the ending that was meant to be. There will be some revelations and it may come as a shock... But they fit perfectly in the story and makes sense of the things we read within first few pages of Shadow and Bone. I cannot say enough how much I love this trilogy but trust me, it's worth reading and worth dwelling our hearts to the people.

Book Review ✨  Authors : Margaret Stohl and Melissa de la Cruz  Pages : 365 My Ratings 🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✨  There are times when it's awfully difficult to accept endings we are given by creators of fictions whether it be a movie, poetry or especially a novel. In a movie, we connect to the characters of the plot in span of two or three hours, similarly in a poem we spend shorter amount of time. But it's different in case of a novel, the readers spend relatively invest more time dwelling in the plot, characters and their progress and we make home to the characters in our minds and heart, we feel for them equally as they do. And when readers are not given a satisfactory ending to the fate of their beloved characters especially the protagonist, we live rest of our lives in agony. To move on from the original endings, many readers skilled in penmanship themselves, twist the story to their likings. Yes I'm talking about Wattpad 😂 You have no idea how many times Wattpad FanF...

The Authenticity Project

How well do you know the people who live near you?  How well do they know you?  ✨ The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley  My Ratings 3.8/5 ✨ ✨ ✨  As this book begins, we are posed with these questions... Rather than 'we' Monica is being asked.  Ex - lawyer and now owner of Café in London finds a pale green notebook abandoned in one of her tables. The notebook simply says 'The Authenticity Project' .  Inside, Julian Jessop, the famous artist, now a lonely widower has written his story, his truth and has left this book to carry out this chain of one's authentic self and expressing their truth. Throughout the book we see this pale green notebook following the links of different characters with almost nothing in common and how they come together finding new friendships, new purpose and something that each of them wanted.  The one thing I loved that the author impressively created the stories of each character. I loved how her cha...

A Pho Love Story

A Pho Love Story Review 💕 Author : @loanloanle Genre : Rom Com  My Ratings 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ⭐ /5  ... My first thing that came to my mind after I started this book was to eat really delicious bowl of Pho. I immediately took up to myself to learn how to cook a vegetarian version of Pho, I didn't expect to find it but there were so many recipes and they looks super yummy!! While reading A Pho Love Story, I could imagine myself being inside the restaurants and witness this cute little story. I could see Bao's mom and her gossip friends, I could look through their window and see Linh's family restaurant and Linh walking down the street with her art bag.  Despite being in same school Bao and Linh never talk to each other or should I say they aren't allowed to by their families. Though it may seem like their families don't like each other because of their competitive business but this beef is way too longer. Bao and Linh never actually got to know the real reason ...
