Finale by Stephanie Garber

"The first time Legend appeared in Tella's dreams, he looked as if he'd just stepped out of one of the stories people told about him."


I love the Caraval Universe with the epic Fates, the risky games and unexpected twists, the ambiance and abundant romance. While 'Legendary' had left me in despair with a legendary amount of questions, 'Finale' was the King of finales, seeing our Scarlett and Tella through staggering revelations, impossible decisions, nail-biting confrontations and personal growth. As their mother and the Fates are finally freed from their perennial prison, strong and scheming as ever, the Dragna sisters are pulled into a whirlwind of action, where they will have to choose carefully who they can trust, who they can love and who they should let go. And of course the desperately charming Santos brothers are there, Legend and Julian, dashing, with a generous side of vulnerable (and it was about time). A satisfying ending to a magical adventure. 

My ratings:
Plot: 5/5
Conclusion: 5/5
Characters: 4/5
Movie Potential: 5/5

Circe by Madeline Miller

"Day upon patient day, you must throw out your errors and begin again. So why did I not mind? Why did none of us mind?  I  cannot speak for my brothers and sister, but my answer is easy. For a hundred generations, I had walked the world drowsy and dull, idle and at my ease. I left no prints, I did no deeds. Even those who had loved me a little did not care to stay. Then I learned that I could bend the world to my will, as a bow is bent for an arrow. I would have done that toil a thousand times to keep such power in my hands. I thought: this is how Zeus felt when he first lifted the thunderbolt." Circe, daughter of Helios and a rather pompous nymph, Perse, was born and raised in the Titans' Halls, among other rather pompous nymphs, naiads, small deities and Titans. During her slow eternity she discovers her inherent powers of witchcraft and is exiled on the island Aiaia (even though I am Greek, I still had to google how to pronounce that name), where she hones her abilitie

Crescent City by Sarah J Maas

"There was a wolf at the gallery door." Bryce Quinlan, a half-human/half-fae citizen of Crescent City, works as an antiquities dealer assistant in a witch's gallery during the day and parties hard with her friends at night (clubs, booze, drugs, the works). One fateful night she comes home to discover her friends murdered in the most gruesome manner, and her life changes dramatically.  Even though the "culprit" has been "apprehended", two years later someone's body is found in the same way her friends' were and the Archangel and Governor of CC, Micah, asks Bryce to help solve the case together with his personal assassin, Hunt (*sigh*) Athalar. Every new revelation only brings on more questions and doubt about her deceased friends, and unravels a dangerous path that goes much deeper and steeper than they had imagined.  In this adult fantasy, Maas has amassed all kinds of supernatural creatures, such as Fae, Angels, Shifters, Witc

Descendant of the Crane by Joan He

Image
"No night was perfect for treason, but this one came close." In the Kingdom of Yan, people who can predict the future and wield magic are considered monsters, brutally hunted down and executed - as are their sympathizers - in the name of peace and justice. After her father’s suspicious death, Queen Hesina, with the help of a mysterious convict and her step-siblings, will try to find the culprit, taking the case to the Investigation Bureau for trial and placing her trust in the justice system (Spoiler Alert: Big Mistake).  Welcome to a world where everyone is wearing big, elaborate masks and hiding behind their “good intentions”. The ‘Descendant of the Crane’ is full of political intrigue and self-righteous back-stabbers, with a twisty finish, which, considering how slowly the plot developed, escalated rather quickly and made for a riveting conclusion.   This isn’t a stand-alone novel; the ending lays the groundwork for a sequel. If I'm being honest though
