Heartstopper Vol 1-3 Review

**Trigger warnings: Eating disorders, self harm, bullying**

Description:  Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more...? Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn't been too great, but at least he's not being bullied anymore, and he's sort of got a boyfriend, even if he's kind of mean and only wants to meet up in secret. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He's heard a little about Charlie - the kid who was outed last year and bullied for a few months - but he's never had the opportunity to talk to him. That is, until the start of January, in which Nick and Charlie are placed in the same form group and made to sit together. They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn't think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways, and sometimes good things are waiting just around the corner...

My Thoughts: Oh i loved this. Charlies and Nicks love was so sweet and wholesome. I love their love story and can’t wait for the next volumes.

Pro’s: - Charlie and Nick are one of the cutest couples ever - The art style is beautiful. - Nick is my favorite - Bisexual rep done right. (as a bisexual female i can attest to this) - Eating disorders i think was represented and handled very respectfully & well. (I’ve struggled with eating disorders. just not the same one as one of the characters.)

Con’s: - I wish more was out. :( - There was one comment that a good guy character made that i didn’t particularly like. But overall it didn’t detract from the comic overall it just annoyed me that it was said.

Okay there are some of my thoughts about Hearstopper Vol’s 1-3. I really enjoyed this. I think if your looking for a sweet lgbtq+ love story with some hard topics addressed then this is for you.

Vol 1: ★★★★ Vol 2: ★★★★ Vol 3: ★★★★

Foundryside Review

Description: Sancia Grado is a thief, and a damn good one. And her latest target, a heavily guarded warehouse on Tevanne’s docks, is nothing her unique abilities can’t handle. But unbeknownst to her, Sancia’s been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power, an object that could revolutionize the magical technology known as scriving. The Merchant Houses who control this magic--the art of using coded commands to imbue everyday objects with sentience--have already used it to transform Tevanne into a vast, remorseless capitalist machine. But if they can unlock the artifact’s secrets, they will rewrite the world itself to suit their aims. Now someone in those Houses wants Sancia dead, and the artifact for themselves. And in the city of Tevanne, there’s nobody with the power to stop them. To have a chance at surviving—and at stopping the deadly transformation that’s under way—Sancia will have to marshal unlikely allies, learn to harness the artifact’s power for herself, and undergo her own transformation, one that will turn her into something she could never have imagined My Thoughts: Wow. I really enjoyed this. Robert Jackson Bennett did a great job with this book. The world building was excellent. The world kind of gave me italian vibes with a hint of asian (maybe thats just me). Also i loved all the characters. They were well developed and all had their own growth throughout the story. Sancia and Clef we're my favorites. One thing i had an issue with is at times i did get confused with the magic system and another civilization they talk about through out the whole book. The people of the civilization i had a hard time picturing in my head. Hopefully when i re-read it it will become more clear. Anyway i found Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett very fast and entertaining. I can't wait for the rest of this series. Stars: ★★★★.5 Links: Goodreads

          So I just launched a new blog.   It’s called “Every Word” and it contains a collection of books read by yours truly.   It’s still a process in the making, so there aren’t many entries yet, but if y’all have any book recommendations for me to read, I’d love to hear them.   Each book has its own entry, which will include a quick synopsis of the book, where I heard about the book, how much the book cost me, a personal review, and some of my favorite quotes from the book - so definitely check it out if you’re an avid book lover.   I won’t put ratings on the books I read, just because I feel like each book has it’s own individual quirk that makes it impossible to compare to.   So that’s that, and I hope y’all check it out!
