Published : 2015

Genre : Fantasy, Magic, Fiction, Faeries, Mortality.

Rating : 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


What a brilliant book! What a captivating read! Sarah J Maas has propelled herself into the cohort of my favorite authors with this shining jewel. Never have I been so shocked out of my wits or had my breath completely knocked out. I just couldn’t get through to the next page without gasping and my heart pounding.





Humans. Magical Faeries. Evil witches. Spellbinding potions. Ancient curses. Eternal love. Irresistible attraction and seduction. Life altering games. What is there not to like ? What is there not to swoon over? There is not a ounce of boredom in this triangle love story and battle for freedom. This is fantasy at its best!


A war almost 500 years ago between faeries and humans .. their lands segregated to east and west. Fearies are split into seven kingdoms each ruled by a high lord. A hundred years ago, they are brought through magic and trickery,under the control of a Queen. One high lord refuses her advances and to submit. He is put under a curse from which he can be rescued only by a brave human. Enter Feyre, the brave warrior human girl whom the high lord has been searching for a half century. He steals her away from her family and they both fall deeply, irrevocably in love. Then comes the moment of disclosure of his story to Feyre. The rest of the story is filled with enthralling and engrossing games to rescue his life, kingdom and the rest of the fearie race from the queen. Throw into the mix a dark, seductive, handsome high lord of darkness who helps Feyre for his own personal interests. There is danger and there is love. There is bravery and there is madness. There is magic and there are dionystic type rituals(Greek Mythology) ,Lord Krishna type romantic Raasa Leela dances(Hindu Mythology) which take one’s breath away! Highly Recommend. Never been so thrilled to reach an end. My fingers are tingling to reach for the sequel in my satchel and its nearing midnight! Know my state of mind thus! 🙂 Happy reading, fellow readers !!

The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough book review

The Thorn Birds  By Colleen McCullough  Rating 3.75/5 Genres : Australia, Vatican city, Cardinal, Romance, Generational fiction, Historical fiction  Bah. I dont know. I felt this is just an ok sort of book. The only aspect that stirred me and struck a chord with me is the all encompassing, soul level love between Maggie and Father Ralph de Bricassart. Everything else - no matter how juicy,emotional or dramatic just failed to make an impact. The story covers the lives of three generations of women of the Cleary/Armstrong family line - their cherished dreams and dashed hopes, their hurts and heartbreaks over unrequited, failed loves..their finally getting what they wanted but it not being fully enough.. well, it sounds and feels like a roller coaster.  And whats more..there is plenty of repeat in the events of their lives..what has happened to the mother, happens to the daughter and so on..  Coming to the story. Maggie Cleary is brought up with a ...

Book Review : The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand

 The Perfect Couple  By Elin Hildebrand  (Nantucket #3) Published Year : 2018 Page Count: 347 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Romance, Mystery, Suspense, Psychological Thriller, Drama, Crime, 2024-read.  Rating : 4/5  The ending is such an anticlimax and a let down for me - it almost feels like being cheated. I got so high and invested in the narrative..I lost sleep for most of last night and was reading all day since I got up this morning. The character development is ooof .. the characters are filled with life, credulity and fly off the page into the reader's mind space. I loved the layout of the narrative. I loved the writing.  I would have liked if the mother of the family was a bit on the negative side as well. I mean, really, having Nicole Kidman play the role and making it all cute, nice and kind, compassionate is like wasting enormous talent. I picked this book because I saw an ad that there is a limited series coming up on Netflix ...

Book Review: Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

 Gideon the Ninth  By Tamsin Muir  Published Year: 2019 Page Count: 448 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Action, Fantasy, Magic, Necromancers, Adventure, Murder Mystery, Suspense, Lesbian, 2024-read.  Rating : 4.75/5 🙂🙂🙂🙂🌟 Wow. The twists!! And wow wow wow .. the lies!! The deceptions ! Its exotic and steamy! Unputdownable. Highly Addictive. Been wanting to read this for a while now! The paperbacks being so expensive, I settled in for a Kindle experience. I am not disappointed. The lack of smut - which I expected/anticipated when I heard its lesbian fantasy - is such a relief. The tone of the narrator is serious throughout. I had some laugh out loud moments once or twice but that's it. One of the best fantasy book series ever!  I think it is the prose and writing style that I had to read this book real slow so as not to miss anything out. There is action in this book , necromancer magic, fantastic games and there are murders to solve and lyc...
