The Iron Thorn by Caitlin Kittredge

I had actually read a little teaser of this novel previously and had found it quite interesting. I was fortunate enough to land a copy of it to read recently so here is my review!

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

I don’t have many friends who are avid readers like me. But when they recommend something for me to read, I do my best to give it a shot. Especially if they let me borrow their copy of the book, thereby saving me the trouble of waiting for it at the library. Which is exactly…
