Catch Lili Too

December 1, 2020 by Mackenzie No Comments

Thank you so much Sophie Whit for providing me with an eARC for review!

Listen – an asexual siren?? WHY HASN’T ANYONE DONE THAT BEFORE??? Or maybe they have and I just don’t pay attention. EITHER WAY. I love the concept so much. Also just books with sirens, because I don’t get enough of that. I love having main characters that are mythical beings!! There were a lot of elements of this book that I liked, but ultimately it fell a bit short. However, I do think there are lots of people who will love this!

When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain

November 30, 2020 by Mackenzie No Comments

Thank you so so much to Tor.com for providing me with an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!

I had this book on my “must buy immediately list” as soon as I heard about it because I loved the first novella in the series so much. I say series, but you can totally read these as standalone novellas. They both follow the same main character but absolutely no knowledge of the previous one is needed. If you’d like to read my review of the first novella, you can find it here. This one is just as incredible, and I think I loved it MORE if that’s even possible. WTTCDTM is a story within a story, and both tales are fierce and magical and beautiful. I’ll try to keep this review short, since it’s a novella and I don’t want to give too much away!

The Rush’s Edge

November 9, 2020 by Mackenzie No Comments

Thank you SO much to Angry Robot for providing me with an eARC via NetGalley! You guys are the best!

Space!!! The final frontier!! Wait, can I say that? Has Star Trek copyrighted that or something? Anyway….the point is…I love space and space adventures! This book was a wonderful found family space adventure, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

There are so many great elements of this story. I already mentioned found family, which is one of the best tropes of all time. But also the morals of genetic engineering, potential corrupt government, sentient robots/AIs, and more. I won’t go into more detail, because you all just need to go read it for yourselves!

The Bright and Breaking Sea

November 6, 2020 by Mackenzie No Comments

Thank you so much to Berkley Books for providing with an eARC via NetGalley!

I think by now we all know that I am a sucker for both ladies in charge, and enemies to lovers romances. So I know that you are all just SO shocked that this book would be something I enjoyed hahaha. This was a very fun adventure story!! There were a few things that I think could be improved, but overall there wasn’t anything I majorly disliked. I am definitely looking forward to the sequel!

Black Sun

October 13, 2020 by Mackenzie 1 Comment

I sat here trying to start this review for like 30 minutes and had no idea what to say. Mostly because I was stuck thinking about how the book itself started, and how my review will pale in comparison to the impact of that first chapter.

I’ll start with the obvious, and the basics. Black Sun is a brutal, intense, and immersive novel set in a high fantasy world inspired by cultures of the pre-Columbian Americas. That alone should honestly make you want to read it, since we all know that high fantasy is oversaturated with worlds inspired by medieval Europe. DIVERSIFY YOUR READING!!!
