Book Review: A Storm of Glass and Stars

   Hi everyone,

I recently finished A Storm of Glass and Stars by Marion Blackwood. I gave this book 4.8 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading in to my review.  Another bookish thing you can check out is my October TBR 2020 and September wrap up on TikTok @brinadancer to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. I also have up a book haul of books I've recently gotten over there as well. I'd love to know what your reading this month let me know either here in the comments or on my video. Also, I received an ARC of this book from the author. So huge thank you to Marion Blackwood to sending me this book.

Hopping on in to the review. Before reading this make sure you've read the other books in the series. I'd hate to spoil anything for you!  I was super excited to get this one and start it. I love Storm as a character and couldn't wait to see where this one went since we left off last time with them taking over Pernula. This one started out interesting though since Storm decided that she wanted to go explore on her own which ends up getting her in trouble like usual. By trouble I mean her, Shade and Elaran end up being taken by the star elves. I love the star elf aesthetic though all glass, white, having extravagant balls that kind of thing. Super on point. Totally not Storms thing this is where it really got good I would definitely say this one is a plot twist kind of thing going on. It really surprised me I won't say exactly what happens so you can read to find out but there were times I was saying to myself  "What the ****!! This can't be happening." Which is why I put 4.8 since my feels were all messed up. lol I'm really glad it all worked out in the end and that Storm and all her friends prevail. Also, I'm finally glad we get a little Storm and Shade action like come on the tension between these two is incredible. I really hope there is more of that in the next novel along with more about these mystical Storm Casters 

Overall I would recommended this book especially if you love Storm and I totally think this one is better than the last one because of the blood elfs. This also a fairly easy read so it's good to pick up and read almost all at once. I want to again say thank you to Marion Blackwood for sending me this book. It was great and I can't wait for the next one

Lastly, if your looking for other books I have reviews up for the other first book and second book in Marion;s series.  A Storm of Silver and Ash , A Storm of Shadows and Pearls , A Storm of Smoke and Flame. 

Lastly, if your looking for other books I have reviews up for Arc of A Scythe Trilogy up, Marked, and the Lost Heroes of Olympus series: The Lost Hero, Son of Neptune and Mark of Athena. And  A Storm of Magic and many more through out my blog.

Book Review: A Strange Power

Hi everyone,
I recently finished A Strange Power by L.J. Smith. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading in to my review.  The is the first in the Dark Visions series. You can check out my October TBR to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. 


Now hopping on in to the review and this is spoiler free: I first started this book not really knowing what to expect, except that from attempting to read The Vampire Diaries which is also by this author that it may not be very good. Boy was a surprised by the one though, I really enjoyed it and the whole concept of kids going to an institute to learn about their powers. It almost gave me Fallen kinda of vibes except with out the angels and there is a bit of a love triangle between our main characters. The love triangle is definitely not too over done though like in some YA, its very subtle, which leaves more time for actual story building and other characters. I gotta say I really like the mix of characters that the book has since we have a mix of good guy, bad guy, nerd and hippie and each character has a different set of powers. So cool. I also love the fact that this was a super fast read. I think I read in about a week which is really pretty fast for me. I know the horrible cover art doesn't do it justice but I think overall this is a pretty good book and I can't wait to see where the rest of the series goes. I would definitely give this one a read if you get the chance.
