🌷Books I read in May and my reviews! 🌷
The Secret History: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wonderful writing, mysterious, funny and disturbing, but in a good way. I was a bit nervous to read this as it is not my usual genre, but I loved every haunting, disturbing second of reading it.
The Priory of the Orange Tree: ⭐⭐⭐⭐. 5
Magical, royal and an unforgettable story. I was told that this book was incredibly boring, but it was only the first fifty pages that were so. The worldbuilding was beautifully detailed. Another thing I loved about the book was how strongly Samantha Shannon wrote cultures as well as religions.
Historical, dark and thought-provoking. This book spoke a great deal on issues such as racism and collonialism. R. F Kuang's writing is absolutely phenomenal and I love how the book spoke about the struggles of being a White-passing poc as well as a non-White-passing poc.
The Pull of the Stars: ⭐⭐⭐. 5
Haunting, eerie, historical and tragic. This book was interesting especially from someone interested in medical-related-stuff. I love how the book talked about the struggles of being a nurse during a pandemic as well as how much the main character was willing to sacfirice for her work. The only thing I did not like was the lack of quotation marks.
Mystical, mythological and romantic. The book immediately hooked me from the first page with the captivating storyline, wonderful storytelling as well as interesting characters. I am so excited to read the sequel.
Magical, entertaining and unique. I was extremely nervous to start this series because of a bunch of negative reviews - and because I bought the whole series at the same time. But it ended up being one of my favorites. The beginning of the book was a bit slow-paced, but otherwise I loved it.
Fast, enchanting and mystical. This book made me forget I was reading. The story was beautiful, immersive and full of plot-twists. The characters were written amazingly and there was almost no one whom I could hate.
The Queen of Nothing:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Immersive, twisted and romantic. The final book in this series is definitely a favorite. From the plot-twists to Jude and Cardan's relationship, everything was absolutely perfect. The ending left me both happy and sad, wanting for more.
