Wrap Ups

August Wrap Up

by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment on August Wrap Up

This month I’ve had a lot going on and I haven’t been able to read as many books as I would have preferred. That being said I did complete 6 books this month that I absolutely loved and haven’t been able to stop talking about for the last couple of weeks. I do have reviews on all of these books up on my blog at the moment so feel free to click on the titles and check them out!

Ever the Brave by Erin Summerill – ⭐️4/5 stars

The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner – ⭐️4/5 stars

Poison Study by Maria V Snyder – ⭐️4/5 stars

To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo – ⭐️4/5 stars

Tower of Dawn by Sarah J Maas – ⭐️5/5 stars

Simon VS the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli – ⭐️4/5 stars

All in all it was a pretty great reading month for me. I lucked out and ended up pretty much loving every single book that I read. There is usually one or two books where I’m kind of like ‘eh’, but I honestly enjoyed my time reading every single one of these. Fingers crossed my luck continues onto next month and the rest of the year!

Happy Reading 📚

Poison Study Review

*Partially Spoilery Review*

60510OMG this book was amazing. It follows the story of Yelena, an orphan who grew up on the estate of one of the Generals of the country Ixia. She is now imprisoned as we have learned that she has killed someone in her past. She is offered the chance to either be executed or become the new food taster for the Commander of Ixia, and this is really where the story takes off.

I found myself absolutely enthralled by this book. I physically could not put it down until I finished it! I loved Yelena as the main character and her narrative was excellent. It really highlighted her struggles and showed how she developed throughout the story. Valek was an enigma for me for most of the story, I couldn’t make heads or tails of him and I really enjoyed how he kept me guessing! I thought as a whole the novel was very well put together, I loved that the love story really took a back seat and let the plot really take shape around the political intrigue that built up as the story progressed as that is really the main focus of the story. I’m usually not a huge fan of more politically centred books but the way that Poison Study was structured really had me on the edge of my seat and had me guessing at every stage what was going to happen next, even shocking me at one point that I had to physically close the book and take a breath. The magic system really wasn’t completely established in this novel but we definitely got a taste of it and it left you wanting to know more, so I thought that really set up the sequel Magic Study nicely.

⭐️4/5 Stars would 100% recommend and I am excited to continue on with this series and see what will happen next!

img_1503-1Another recent purchase of mine and the start of hopefully a new series that I love. I’ve been hearing about Poison Study and The Study Series for a while now and it’s definitely been up there in my TBR but for one reason or another I have just never gotten around to it. Poison Study is the first book in a four book series and I love a good fantasy series soooo I am super excited that I finally picked it up.

Hopefully I’ll be coming back to you in a few days with an update/wrap up/review of Poison Study and I can let you know what I thought of it!

Happy Reading 📚
