Heir of Fire Book 3 from Sarah J Maas | A Review

Heir of Fire is the third book in the Throne of Glass series. This book continues the story of Celaena Sardothien; Adarlan's Assassin; King's Champion and much more than she looks. This is the kind of book that takes you to faraway enchanting lands of Fae and you keep thinking about it all the time.

MY REVIEW

We find out in the last book who Celaena actually is. In this book, she is off to a faraway land on a King's secret mission. There she gets as low as can be with self-loathing and no care of the world. Her relationship with Chaol is damaged to extreme points. And she is struggling to accept the fact that they are not together anymore that he won't be waiting for her when she goes back and that now he hates her more than ever.

There are introductions of new and interesting characters in this book. A sort of rival by the name of Rowan bullies her and trains her and they have a very interesting love/hate relationship throughout the book. In the end, they finally produce some sort of respect for each other when they save each other in dire circumstances.

We finally get to meet Queen Maeve of the Fae who is ruthless and beautiful and rules with an iron hand in the small territory of Doranelle; which is a haven for full-blooded Fae. No half-fae or hybrid is allowed to come into the territory because of deep-rooted racism. Half fae have to train there so they are deemed qualified enough to permit entry. Celaena is also trained for the same purpose so she can have an audience with the Fae Queen Maeve.

Dorian is more alone than ever. He is struggling with new powers and after Celaena leaves. Half the time he holds up his tower. He finds Sorcha (a healer) and they find solace in each other company in the start and later become lovers. Another amazing new species is introduced in the book: Ironteeth Witch Clan which also has iron nails. Manon is the main character; she is ruthless, murderous, beautiful beyond bounds, and has a no-nonsense attitude.

In conclusion, this book was epic as the story is moving forward and lots of new situations are arising. 👍

A Critical Lens on 'Hunting Adeline' by H.D. Carlton: Exploring the Disturbing Themes | A Review

I kept delaying writing the review because I had to remember it and didn't want to do that. This 2nd book of Cat and Mouse duet is the story of a human trafficking survivor. This book is a huge TRIGGER WARNING . Kindly proceed with caution. I even got traumatized after reading it. So to explain the synopsis; Adeline (the main character) got kidnapped at the end of the first book and sold to some people who groomed her for some very rich and powerful clients. Almost half of the book is based on Adeline surviving the worst situations possible for a woman. Adeline had one advantage someone was fervently searching for her, and eventually, Zade managed to rescue her after four agonizing months. The scene when Zade finds her and she just could not believe it. She crumbled to her knees thinking she was hallucinating. After Zade brings her home she struggles so hard to process her trauma. She learns to fight to take control of her life. She gets close to her mother. She hates h...

On Wings of Blood by Briar Boleyn | A Review

What's Up, Readers!! Welcome to Quills and Pages. I just finished On Wings of Blood arc....and now I am here to write the review. the book is written by Briar Boleyn and Thank you to Netgally and the author for this arc. iSo, let's start the review BLURB I didn't sign up for this. A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That's a recipe for torment. I'm Medra Pendragon—last of the dragon riders, or so they tell me. Funny thing is, there are no dragons left. Not a single one. But somehow, that hasn't stopped the vampires from deciding I'm worth capturing. Now I'm stuck at Bloodwing Academy, where the highbloods run everything and blightborn like me? We're just blood in their veins, pawns in their games. But that's not even the worst part. Enter Blake Drakharrow. Cold, arrogant, and way too gorgeous for his own good. He's been tormenting me since the moment we met, and now, thanks to some ancient ritual, we're betrothed. He acts like h...

'The Never King' by Nikki St. Crowe | A Review

"The Never King" by Nikki St. Crowe is an incredibly absurd book. I mean, while reading it, I found myself perplexed, cringing, and wondering what on earth I was actually reading. These rollercoaster emotions I experienced throughout the book. The story revolves around Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, with Winnie, a member of the Darling family line, whose mother is clearly mentally unstable. Her mother's bizarre and neglectful behavior towards her is maddening. When Winnie turns 18, her mother's insanity escalates as she believes Peter Pan is coming to kidnap Winnie, and indeed, he does just that. He takes her to Neverland, where he inexplicably chains her to a bed and watches over her while she's unconscious. The frequent mention of Winnie being different from other Darlings without a clear explanation becomes rather tiresome. Meanwhile, Peter's shadow is lost, causing Neverland to wither slowly. So his main goal is to find his shadow and secure his power o...

Plated Prisoner Series | A series review (Spoiler Alert!!!)

Have you ever stumbled upon a series that not only captures your imagination but also challenges the norms of classic narratives? Recently, I had the privilege of delving into the spellbinding world of the Plated Prisoner series, written by Raven Kennedy. If you haven't yet experienced this literary masterpiece, be prepared for a rollercoaster ride of intrigue, deception, and personal growth. Embark with me on a journey through the twists and turns of these books, where the conventional story of King Midas and his golden touch takes an unexpected and captivating turn. A Twist on a Classic Tale The foundation of the Plated Prisoner series rests upon the iconic figure of King Midas and his fabled golden touch. However, Kennedy masterfully introduces a twist; King Midas, rather than possessing the golden touch, is revealed to be a fraud, capitalizing on the real power held by this beautiful character Auren. Auren, with her genuine golden touch, becomes the linchpin of the plot as ...
