The Fifth Season Review (Book 1 of the Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jeminsin)

Since I started scrolling through BookTok for fantasy books to read about two years ago, I have heard nothing but rave reviews about this book. After all, it was the 2016 winner of the Hugo Awards and also the only fantasy novel to make The New York Times’s best 100 books of the 21st century….

The Sunlit Man Review: Shining a Light on Sanderson’s Last Secret Projects Novel 

I just finished The Sunlit Man (so I’m now 100% caught up on the cosmere, woo-hoo!) and I’m excited to get my thoughts out. In short, The Sunlit Man review is a wild ride of twists and cosmere easter eggs that left me happy. I’ll admit I had some doubts going in. I’d heard mixed…
