In my seemingly neverending reading slump, I found The Poppy War. And, boy, was I glad. I am blown away. If you’re looking for a thrilling dark fantasy based on Chinese history that is non-romance-heavy with an underdog heroine with questionable morality, The Poppy War is for you. Contains spoilers, duh.

Book Review: Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
I’m usually not a fan of first person POV, nevermind first person present tense — feels too much like Goosebumps and I associate that with my childhood, not my adulthood — but Shatter Me is such an emotional rollercoaster this was an expertly brilliant way to portray those feelings.
