Book Review: A Song Below Water ~ Bethany C. Morrow | ★★★★✰

Book Review: Esme’s Wish (Esme Series #1) ~ Elizabeth Foster | ★★★★✰

May 23, 2020May 31, 2020 ~ Alice @ Love For Words ~ 8 Comments

Fantasy | MG | A sweet book set in a cool sea-related world (with dragons and a lot of magic) that weaves friendship, daughter-and-mother love, and adventure.

Book Review: Stepsister ~ Jennifer Donnelly | ★★★★✰

May 16, 2020May 22, 2020 ~ Alice @ Love For Words ~ 12 Comments

Fairy-tale retelling | YA | Take a huge dose of 'Caraval' vibe, mix it with light 'The Night Circus' enchantment, sprinkle it with a good bit of 'Alice In Wonderland' story style, add a pinch of 'Mulan' dynamics, throw in a bucket of crucial life messages, adapt it all as a sequel-slash-retelling of 'Cinderella'... And you get Stepsister. As marvelous as that.

Series Review: The Lunar Chronicles ~ Marissa Meyer | ★★★★✰

May 9, 2020May 11, 2020 ~ Alice @ Love For Words ~ 14 Comments

Sci-fi + fantasy | YA | General + book-by-book reviews | This was a wild ride. Both reading the series and writing the reviews.

Book Review: A Sky Painted Gold ~ Laura Wood | ★★★✰✰

February 27, 2020February 24, 2020 ~ Alice @ Love For Words ~ 1 Comment

Historical fiction (1920s) | YA | This is a cute book, but it didn't strike me as thaaat special. It was mostly fluff with good characters but not an otherworldly story. Kudos to the last two chapters, though.

Book Review: The Girls at the Kingfisher Club ~ Genevieve Valentine | ★★★★★

February 6, 2020May 25, 2020 ~ Alice @ Love For Words ~ 23 Comments

Historical fiction | The Girls at the Kingfisher Club is one of those books that fill your head with beautiful setting. The description is alive, it saturates the room you're in with colors and emotions.

Quick Intro: Amethyst Pledge ~ Leonie Rogers
