Not as Amazing as Falling Kingdoms, But Definitely Worth the Read

MY THOUGHTS I adore the Falling Kingdoms series, so I definitely wasn't about to miss out on a spin-off series! I don't love this as much as Falling Kingdoms, but this was a brilliant start to a new series and I can't wait to read the next book!...

A Bit Slow, But Still a Brilliant Sequel

MY THOUGHTS I enjoyed the first book in this series, so I was excited to finally dive into this sequel! This book does have middle book syndrome, so it's very slow-paced, but I still enjoyed it! This book takes place shortly after the events...

Another Great Dystopian

MY THOUGHTS If you're expecting a sequel to The Giver, you will be very disappointed. The two books are completely unrelated to one another. Just think of this book has another dystopian and you will enjoy it more. This book focuses on Kira. She's a young...
