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.

THE THEFT OF SUNLIGHT by Intisar Khanani
Intisar Khanani’s writing is vivid and easy to follow, but it lacks the enchanting and tranquil quality I loved in the preceding book. Then again, I understand that it is hard to tackle a topic as serious as human trafficking in an enchanting manner.

AS GOOD AS DEAD by Holly Jackson
Holly Jackson’s writing is just as vivid and striking as ever. The story she weaves is brought to life through the intricate details and creative media elements I have come to expect from this series. However, I was slightly disappointed that this book only has a few media elements compared to previous books since these were one of my favourite things about the series.

THE BLACK KIDS by Christina Hammonds Reed
There is no denying that the writing in this book is choppy and unfocused. Between the numerous tangents and rapid changes from past to current events, I initially found this writing style jarring. However, as the story progressed, I realised that the informal, conversational tone created is actually very fitting for the story.

THE EYES OF TAMBURAH by Maria V. Snyder
As someone who has read and loved most of Maria V. Synder’s previous books, I could not help the excitement that buzzed through me before I started reading this book. Of course, I was also a little worried that the story might not live up to my high expectations, and this was what actually happened.
