Fourth Wing (The Empyrean #1)
Fourth Wing: Fun YA fantasy with dragons, romance, and action. Despite the teen angst, and weak world-building, it’s entertaining, a real guilty pleasure. 7/10
-
The Seven Year Slip
The Seven Year Slip is a forgettable time travel romance with a weak plot and unearned love story. Painfully average. 5.5/10
-
Tangled Up In You (Meant To Be #4)
Tangled Up In You: Disney’s Tangled as a romance book with charming leads but weak plot and the story struggles with its darker themes. 6/10.

The Return of The King (The Lord of The Rings #3)
The Return of The King is a finale rich in lore and depth, with many standout moments. A bittersweet farewell to a world built with heartfelt care. 8.5/10
-
The Two Towers (The Lord Of The Rings #2)
The Two Towers shines in Ent lore, Saruman’s chilling presence, and rich worldbuilding, but Frodo’s half stalls with its weak pacing. 7.5/10
-
The Fellowship Of The Ring (The Lord Of The Rings #1)
The Fellowship of the Ring is dense and slow-paced, but rich in lore and world-building. A slog to read, but an amazing tale. 9/10
-
Famous
Famous by Blake Crouch is a gripping 1-sit thriller that starts fast but ends abruptly, falling short of its potential. 6.5/10
-
The Hobbit
The Hobbit surprised with its charm and depth despite quirks in style and world logic. A slower start, but ultimately a delightful adventure. 9/10
-
The Paradise Problem
The Paradise Problem is a romcom that juggles class critique, steamy romance, and tonal shifts. Fun but flawed and morally dubious ending. 7.5/10
-
Paddington Goes to Town (Paddington #8)
Paddington Goes to Town charms again with cosy mischief and holiday warmth, though a slightly harsher tone dims the magic just a touch. 7.5/10
