I am at a loss for words for how good Brandon’s writing is in this book. It is vivid, picturesque, and seemingly effortless! Each word from beginning to end drips with so much imagery and suspense that I found it difficult to stop reading. The continued world-building in this story is also very impressive. I loved each new revelation about the magic system and the history of the Final Empire.

56 DAYS by Catherine Ryan Howard
’56 days’ is the first book I have read that is set in this COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, this book puts a magnifying glass on the early days of the pandemic. Catherine Ryan Howard does a great job of capturing the uncertainty and apprehension of that time. While this could potentially be triggering for some readers, in my opinion, it helped make the story even more engaging and realistic.

THORN by Intisar Khanani
Truth be told, I started this book with low expectations and mid-level interest. ‘Thorn’ wasn’t a book that had fascinated me enough to be added to my ‘Want-to-read’ shelf nor had I come across a lot of excitement or hype surrounding it. This was a completely random acquisition, but boy am I glad I got it!

CHAIN OF GOLD by Cassandra Clare
While I have not read all Cassandra Clare’s books on the Shadowhunters world, I remember reading a few books from The Mortal Instruments series when I was in secondary school. For me, reading this book was a way to reconnect with my younger self to see if what I enjoy reading has changed.
