WINGS OF STARLIGHT: FIRST READ REVIEW

WINGS OF STARLIGHT by ALLISON SAFT

It took me three whole days to read this book and I regret not taking more time. I could have given my poor heart a few more days of being whole and healthy. Now I am a shattered mess of tears and hysteria and pain.

Technically, I knew how this was going to end. We all knew Clarion and Milori get their happy ending in the movie. But can you blame a girl of hoping for a little epilogue? Even just a page? There was no epilogue. There was only pain.

I am sure everyone who is going to read this book will already know about Queen Clarion and Lord Milori but still for the sake of this blog, here it goes: warm and winter fairies live in Pixie Hollow in four different seasons. The warm fairies cannot go to the Winter and the winter fairies cannot come to any of the warm seasons because that can hurt their wings. Princess Clarion, living in Summer is going to be coronated in one month when a huge problem arises and puts all of Pixie Hollow at risk. Princess Clarion does not agree with Queen Elvina in how to handle the problems and tries to solve it on her own - which means partnering with Milori, the Warden of the Winter Woods. Enter yearning and forbidden and sweet and everything in between.

Even though we knew exactly what would have happened, it still broke every piece of me in ways that would never be mended. Clarion and Malori are the sweetest, most adorable, and perfect characters that were ever shipped. And the yearning, oh, the yearning. Don't even get me started. I thought forbidden and yearning could not get better than Nikolai Lantsov and Zoya Nazyalenksy but this? Clarion and Milori crushed that yearning. These two are my new standard and I doubt anyone will ever get close to them.

Author did not disappoint at all with her amazing storytelling and kept up this legend with exactly how much angst and pain and romance was needed. This was my first book by Allison Saft and I already know she is one of my favourite fantasy writers already.

I love this book from the bottom of my shattered heart and I will never get over this even if Clarion and Milori get their very deserved happily ever after in the Tinker Bell film Secret of the Wings. Author might have thought we were God's strongest soldiers but we are not and we definitely did not survive this once in a lifetime experience.

Now, I am going to bury myself inside my blankets and read contemporary HEA romances until my soul is back to functioning and Clarion and Milori are not at the forefront of my thought every second of the day.

Goodbye, everyone.

REVIEW FOR UNDERHYPED: THE GRACE YEAR

Image
THE GRACE YEAR by KIM LIGGETT STANDALONE REVIEW: If this wasn’t the height of morbidly gratifying, I don’t know what is. The blurred world-building, the cruel and tortured characters, the grisly scenes and the bone-chilling story. All of it will leave you in a semi-comatose state for days (weeks, months). Even though the start was somewhat slow, I couldn’t bring myself to put it down from the first page. (From the damned epigraph: “A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze.”) And God, if that epigraph wasn’t the perfect foreshadowing. The women in the fantasy were exactly like a trapped rat who didn’t know it was trapped. Or at least, that was what the protagonist used to believe. Romantically, it’s a love triangle. I, personally, don’t really like them and I didn’t like it here, either. But I cannot say I was dissatisfied. It was a series of heartbreaks and I loved it. I loved the bittersweet ending even more. (And I loved Michael the most, ...

REVIEW FOR UNDERRATED: THE LONE CITY SERIES

Image
THE LONE CITY CHRONICLES by AMY EWING BOOKS: The Jewel, #1 The White Rose, #2 The Black Key, #3 NOVELLAS: Wishing Well Sil’s Story Ash’s Story Lucien’s Story House Of Stone Garnet’s Story REVIEW: Six out of five stars. Absolutely unable to understand the plethora of negative reviews on this jewel (pun intended) of a story. The characters were diverse, their development was amazing and the world building was great – and without any early instalment weirdness too! The plot was original and compelling, taking us through a roller coaster of feelings. There were characters who you can’t help but love and there were characters who you just cannot stop hating, ever (*cough* Countess of Stone *cough*). Scenes you will just melt for and scenes that will chill you to bones. But all of it will definitely make you forget that they are not real, if only for a few chapters....

REVIEW FOR UNDERHYPED: THE NIGHT HUNT

Image
THE NIGHT HUNT by ALEXANDRA CHRISTO STANDALONE REVIEW: I said it once and I will say it again: you can read this author in any sequence you want, and every book will still be better than the last. The story follows a monster who feeds on fears. Atia saw her parents killed by the Gods, and she understandably hates them. But can she do anything about it? No. Not yet and not alone. Her kind of monsters, called the Nefas, were banished to the mortal realm and there is one rule every monster must follow on the mortal realm: do not kill any human. Of course, monsters still do that, and if they are fast enough, they will not get cursed. Atia kills a man accidently, and is now cursed. And can one undo a curse? By killing a vampire, a banshee, and a God. Enter Silas, a Herald, who was punished to serve the God of Death for one hundred years. Fifty years in, he is very bored by his monotonous life and would have killed himself if he wasn’t already dead. Then he learns that for his ...
