THE OLEANDER SWORD by Tasha Suri
This gorgeous green cover is absolutely stunning and fits well with the design for the previous book in this series. The illusion of Malini is a great touch that reflects her significant role in the story.

ACE OF SHADES by Amanda Foody
Within a few pages, Amanda Foody had me eating out the palm of her hand as she did a phenomenal job establishing the tone and world of the story. Through her picturesque writing, the creative and complex world soon became my favourite part of this story. While the intricate details regarding the powers and family names were slightly confusing, even this could not lessen the appeal of the world Amanda creates.

CROOKED KINGDOM by Leigh Bardugo
I love that this cover shares such a strong connection with the one for the previous book. While this design is not as stunning as the former, I once again found the buildings concealed within the crow’s feathers visually appealing.

From the start, Emily Nagoski’s writing style is clear and easy to follow. The casual, conversational tone may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. This style seemed perfectly suited for communicating science to a general audience in an engaging manner. The stories and recurring metaphors also kept me interested through the information-packed chapters. The only thing that annoyed me was the constant repetition of key concepts, but I understand that this was simply to emphasise these points.
