No, you can't change my mind.

If she was a man, people would hate her 😅 there would be complaints about the love triangle and no one would condone her...

If Vengeance has a mother, her name is Patience.

She’d grown up inside books. No matter how dark life became, shutting out the hurt was as easy as opening a cover.

“Death is the only promise we all keep.”

Thus, the greatest monsters get their way, she realized.

By looking just like the rest of us.

If you can't see your chains, what use is a key?

"Only that there's two kinds of loyalty," Mia replied. "The kind paid for with love, and the kind paid for with silver."

“There’s no softer pillow than a clear conscience.”

Nevernight by Jay Kristoff (The Nevernight Chronicle series)

In a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family.

Daughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father’s failed rebellion with her life. Alone and friendless, she hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father’s former comrades. But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined.

Now, Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic—the Red Church. If she bests her fellow students in contests of steel, poison and the subtle arts, she’ll be inducted among the Blades of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and one step closer to the vengeance she desires. But a killer is loose within the Church’s halls, the bloody secrets of Mia’s past return to haunt her, and a plot to bring down the entire congregation is unfolding in the shadows she so loves.

Will she even survive to initiation, let alone have her revenge?

Planetfall series (Planetfall, After Atlas, Before Mars, Atlas Alone) by Emma Newman

Renata Ghali believed in Lee Suh-Mi’s vision of a world far beyond Earth, calling to humanity. A planet promising to reveal the truth about our place in the cosmos, untainted by overpopulation, pollution, and war. Ren believed in that vision enough to give up everything to follow Suh-Mi into the unknown.

More than twenty-two years have passed since Ren and the rest of the faithful braved the starry abyss and established a colony at the base of an enigmatic alien structure where Suh-Mi has since resided, alone. All that time, Ren has worked hard as the colony's 3-D printer engineer, creating the tools necessary for human survival in an alien environment, and harboring a devastating secret.

Ren continues to perpetuate the lie forming the foundation of the colony for the good of her fellow colonists, despite the personal cost. Then a stranger appears, far too young to have been part of the first planetfall, a man who bears a remarkable resemblance to Suh-Mi.

The truth Ren has concealed since planetfall can no longer be hidden. And its revelation might tear the colony apart…

Favorite Books of All Time, (so far)

The Lunar Chronicles written by Marissa Meyer

Credit for art: Jenna September (@septembersart)

I have always liked books, but this kicked off my love for them!

2. The Grishaverse written by Leigh Bardugo

Love the magic system, love the characters, love the books!!!!!

3. SJM universe, specifically Throne of Glass, written by Sarah J. Maas

One small thing I like about this series specifically is that the female main character is confident, she knows she's beautiful, and a badass and she isn't afraid to say it or show it, she low key gave me some confidence.

4. Babel written by R.F. Kuang

I felt like a genius reading this book, I never knew I would be into historical fiction?!!!

5. The Folk of the Air written by Holly Black

Fast pace, badass, lots of action, diverse colorful world, honestly this is how I picture it if fae were to exist in our world.

6. Children of Blood and Bone written by Tomi Adeyemi

I first picked up this book because it was a fantasy with people who looked like me and ended up loving it not only for that but the story too, and the magic and powers in this book are amazing too.

7. Assistant to the Villain written by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

FUNNY, that's how to describe this refreshing series if you still want to read fantasy but take a break from the heavy stuff.

8. Godsgrave Trilogy written by Jay Kristoff

Dark, a little bloody, assassins, shadow powers, badass female mc, fights, sarcastic animal companion, footnotes for the reader, and bonus if you listen to the audio (highly recommended for this series) the narrator is AMAZING! A male author who actually knows how to write a female mc which is rare.
