My Final Thoughts on The ACOTAR Book Series
A Court of Thorns and Roses. You know it, you love it. Or maybe you hate it. Either way, this romance/fantasy series, as well as other series and works from author Sarah J. Maas, has become a pretty large phenomenon online. It definitely has a huge following of fans, some of them pretty die hard. In general, people seem to either love this series to death, or they tend to think it’s flat out overrated and even badly written.

Deep Blue Sea Pirate Cutlass Sword
The curved, single-edged blade and sturdy guard of the Pirate Cutlass Sword, which frequently has a basket-shaped handguard for optimal hand protection, make it a unique weapon. Although they were traditionally made of high-carbon steel, contemporary models might use stainless steel for increased rust resistance and durability. Because of its curvature and weight distribution, the blade is incredibly useful for slashing and chopping motions, essential in the close-quarters fighting that characterizes naval engagements.

Review of 'The Lightstruck'
Sunya Mara brings readers back to her crumbling kingdom that was shrinking from the outside by a storm that encircled it, twisting everything it touched. While there are many differences, this book felt too similar to The Darkening.

He watched the taillights disappear into the distance, a sense of contentment settling over him. In that moment, surrounded by the city he loved and the friends who meant everything to him, Jungkook knew that no matter where life took them, they would always find their way back to each other.

Book Review: What If. . . Loki Was Worthy? by Madeleine Roux
Thor - Son of Odin, God of Thunder, wielder of the hammer Mjolnir - is dead. And Loki is responsible. It was only meant to be a joke - tampering with the Destroyer, changing Thor's course to Midgard - a bit of mischief with a chance of maiming. But Loki's harmless prank spiraled out of control, unleashing death and destruction on New York City and the heroes sworn to protect it. The city was saved, but at the cost of Thor's life. Furious and heartbroken, the All-Father banishes Loki to Earth for his crime. Loki finds himself in a realm of boxed wine, instant noodles, and some sort of regional performance troupe known as the "Buffalo Bills." It's a meager existence, far from Asgard's grand courts, but he finds his new friend, Brian the Gecko, a much more engaging companion than the sycophants back home. A true meeting of the minds. Loki is the God of Mischief - but he knows, deep down, that he never truly deserved to stand next to their father's golden child Thor, as two true sons of Odin. Yet, he cannot even endure his exile in peaceful isolation. A Valkyrie - Hel-bent on carrying out her oath to Thor - barges into his trailer-home with his brother's final words from the beyond: a plea to find a certain Dr. Jane Foster and pass on Mjolnir to its rightful heir. While Loki struggles to fulfil his brother's last request, the far-reaching consequences of his fatal prank return to haunt him. Blinded by grief from those he lost in the chaos wrought by Asgard, Iron Man vows revenge on those who consider themselves gods. Determined to protect the Earth from the might of this unpredictable alien power, he forges Asgard's own weaponry into a lethal suit of armor, set on eradicating any tether between their worlds. Consequences be damned. When Asgard looks to Loki for salvation, he must answer the question: Am I truly worthy?

Review of 'Within These Wicked Walls'
I picked up Within These Wicked Walls because it was marketed as an “Ethiopian-inspired fantasy retelling of Jane Eyre.” While I loved the story, it was perfectly creepy, and I failed to see the retelling aspect of the story.
