The Promise of Peridot by Kate Golden
They finally arrive in Citrine, an enchanted city under the sea. Honestly the place sounds pretty amazing – diverse restaurants, 24-hour night life, everybody dressed to the nines. I love seafood so I might be biased here, but still. They also manage to pick up the human embodiment of a Labrador Retriever, Prince Fedrik. For […]

The last book in what is currently a series of five. I’m led to believe that another sequel is in the works. This is Nesta’s story. I am positive I am not alone in saying this book took her from being the character I had absolutely no time for to one of my favourite in […]

This is an odd book in the series. It’s very short, most of the events spanning only about a week of time and it really feels like it only exist to set the stage for book five. It takes place over the Winter Soltice, Feyre’s first in Velaris. In the Night Court the longest night […]

I thought the choice to start this book on the wreckage of a battlefield was an unusual one. Maybe it’s meant to emphasize the terribleness of what’s coming for them. I found I had a lot fewer notes on this book than I had on the first two, probably because this one focused much less […]

Meanwhile, Tamlin’s trauma is manifesting as an urge to have Feyre […]

I’m not going to lie, I am brand new to the writing of Sarah J Maas. I first heard of her when a friend sent me some videos of an ballroom event that took place in Montreal. The crowd had absolutely gone all-out in their efforts to look as glamorous as possible, and my interested […]
