Wisteria *will* have beautifully designed cases, similar to the rest of the series. They may be my favorite yet! The tale wouldn’t be complete without a little self-doubt in there, but through the encouragement and support of her friends, Amora can wade through the murkiest waters. They fall in love while traveling in Bastian’s magical ship that he pilots magically while having no magic.

Maybe my expectations were too high based on that gorgeous cover but I just didn't feel the bookish obsession that I wanted. Amora is still the fierce protagonist we had in book one. But her nervousness and flaws are evident throughout the story. She makes some dire mistakes that almost cost her life. The pressure is on, and it's clear that her head isn't in the game at all times. That is what I love about her character. She's queen, sure, but she'd also a teenager plagued with loss and heartache. But sailing the kingdom holds more wonder—and more peril—than Amora anticipated. A destructive new magic is on the rise, and if Amora is to conquer it, she’ll need to face legendary monsters, cross paths with vengeful mermaids, and deal with a stowaway she never expected... or risk the fate of Visidia and lose the crown forever. You know they won’t tell you anything.” Though her voice is soft, the words feel like claws. “Not until after your performance.”

One of my 2022 goals is to clean out my Kindle and this book has been sitting on there since September. I've been really looking forward to it because of THAT COVER and also because there's just a serious shortage of good nautical fantasy, and I was hoping this would be The One. Sadly, it was not. I couldn't get into this book at all. There is so much info-dumping that I really felt like I was being bludgeoned over the head with the world building and it didn't feel organic at all. I also didn't really care for the main character. I appreciate what the author was trying to do with her character-- instead of the more passive heroine that's typical in YA, she was trying to make her an arrogant antiheroine that's more like a lot of the heroes in YA. I applaud the subversion of the trope and the attempt to make a female antiheroine but I did not like the way her character was done. She felt like a Celaena Sardothien clone, and maybe if you're into that I'M SO TOUGH LOL LOOK AT ME brand of girl power, you will like Amora's character, but I was not #TeamAmora at all.

I was just like, "I got to go call my mom!" I think that, as a female specifically, you’re judged a little bit harsher than your male colleagues. And there are more expectations in terms of communicating with people or being kind. There’s just this added social pressure. But for the most part, I try to ignore it because it’s just so exciting and I’m just so grateful to have this opportunity to finally be doing what I’ve worked for for years and years.

Bastian, a pirate who just happens to be around, just happens to access the deepest darkest dungeon for the most dangerous criminals on an impulse to save the princess. Without any magic or a plan, he helps Amora escape. As you do.On the very night she was supposed to demonstrate complete and utter mastery of Soul Magic...things go terribly wrong. I am Amora Montara. I dig my nail into The Duchess again when the ship quivers. The power of Arida is within me. You will obey. MD: What does it mean to you as a young author, coming out with your debut in this moment in which there is more politically charged Y.A. entering the scene? What does it mean for you to be a player in that space?

There was just too much confusing principles, I couldn’t nail down how it worked because the terms kept changing at every turn. I honestly have no idea how to start this review. All the Tides of Fate was such a phenomenal book, and I am still REELING from that ending! Adalyn Grace, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!? #WorstBookHangoverEver Though she’s hardly older than I am, Mira’s sharp face is prematurely wrinkled from constant anxiety. In her five years as my lady-in-waiting, she’s taken every moment possible to fuss over me, as protective as my parents. When she catches sight of my cheek, she gasps and draws me forward.

We’ve shared an experience only a few people will understand, and it’s marked our souls. The sea is a beast more fearsome than even the lusca.” Fierce and unrelenting… Do yourself a favor and get lost in this beautiful book!” —Tomi Adeyemi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Children of Blood and Bone I liked All the Tides of Fate more than its predecessor, but this book was still very predictable. Maybe there is an outline out there that millions of books tend to follow and that's why this felt so familiar. Either way, it was hard to stay excited or interested when I knew how things were going to pan out. The romance does resolve. It’s not like she finish it, but there was something about it that just didn’t give me what I wanted.

All the Stars and Teeth has an interesting premise – a princess with a unique and dangerous magic who must take her throne by showing her might, but ends up on the run with a mysterious and snarky pirate who wants to save the world. It has all the elements of a good YA fantasy, but unfortunately I just didn’t find this unique enough to stand out. I still liked the characters and enjoyed their interactions. The depth of Amora's grief felt very real and raw due to what she goes through in the first book. There are several character deaths throughout the novel. There is also mourning and loss for deaths that happened in the previous book.I think till the journey on the ship starts, the book was solid three starred read for me but after passing first quarter of the book, the real magic starts to grow on you. The world is in turmoil. I don’t think that there’s a writer that I know who is fully able to switch that off. This is just conjecture. Musings… Questions to which I’d love the answer. Perhaps I’m too used to interviewing authors? Melodrama
