Spark by Alice Broadway
5.0
Not knowing that this is going to be a trilogy, that ending seriously caught me off guard! Despite thinking everything was going to wrapped up in this one, I’m certainly not objecting to a third book.
The beginning of this book was odd for me as it took me a while to readjust to the characters, and fully remember the plot of the first one. But after a little while, I got SUPER into it!! The new characters were great, and the plot, I think, was just as good as it’s predecessor!

Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell

All I’d heard about this book before reading it was that it’s essentially a wild-west fantasy - aka my dream book. Safe to say, it lived up to that expectation. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
We Are Okay by Nina LaCour

Poetic and poignant. Stunningly real characters, every moment had such meaning and emotion. Loved it.
The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James

Ok... wow. I wasn’t expecting any of that.
The sci-fi elements were so detailed and well-written, and Romy’s character was just the same. If the book continued how I thought it would from the beginning, then that would be all I have to say about it.
However.
Halfway through the book and... oh? Plot twists you say??? As I hadn’t read anything about this book other than it’s blurb, it was a surprise, to say the least, when the twists starting coming in. The plot got deep and dark in the best ways possible.
An absolutely thrilling read with such an incredible depth to the plot considering the low page count.

A thrilling sequel. De Castell’s writing was a joy to read as always!
The Disappearances by Emily Bain Murphy
4.0
The pace was a little slow around the middle, but overall it was a great read with lovely writing! Plus, it involves Shakespeare. That’s always a positive.
The Hawkweed Legacy by Irena Brignull
4.0
A wonderful sequel. My only issue with the book was that Ember felt kind of unimportant to the story, which was a shame as she was a key character in the first book and I really enjoyed her in that. But the way this book’s ending reunited her with the others was really sweet and I liked it a lot, so ultimately my issue with it is only minor.
Overall, I loved this book. It was great to see a focus on some different characters and to return to the rich, magical world that I deeply enjoyed in the first book.
