4.5 stars.
After a few months trying to finish this one (and failing because I was crying due uni), I finally made it. I was almost dying and said to myself "well, let's read for a couple hours"... And I finished the entire book, lmao.
Let's see if I can write a proper review like I used to. Or I'll cry so bad.
I gotta admit that I liked Vicious more than Vengeful, but that doesn't mean that Vengeful was bad. No. Marcella was a really interesting and amazing character. I really liked her so much. When I grow up, I wanna be like her.
I disliked June. At all. And Sydney was getting into my nerves.
As always, Schwab's writing is what keeps me alive. Her writing is so beautiful and gripping and captivating.
Victor my ace king. If there's gonna be a 3rd book, it better not be so many years after this.
I actually don't have a lot to say (complain) about this book. I liked it, but nothing's gonna top Vicious. Ever.
previous review: well, that wasn't bad, actually. rtc!
ugh, the way i know this book's gonna be the death of me but i'm here for it, says a lot of me and my emotional stability...more
The gods and my mom know how much I laughed with this book. Meddy's aunties are the best. I love them soooooo much. I want aunties like those tbh.
This book follows Meddy's wedding, which turns out to be an entire chaos. She wants her day go perfectly, but it turns out that the people she hired to organize her wedding are not good at all.
I liked and disliked some things, but overall was fine. I'm rating this book according of how much I laughed. Which it was a lot. I was laughing so bad I ended up crying. Perhaps this was really funny or my humor is broken, but I enjoyed it.
I'm in love with the fact that this book isn't just about the wedding and romance. It's also about family and how far are they willing to go or do, in order to save you or keep you safe... And in the end, you got me crying over that.
This is a lighthearted, fast paced and quick book. Don't mind me taking a long time to read it because I was struggling and crying over uni, that's why it took me a while, lmao.
If you're looking for a funny, quick read and comfy book, this one is for you. Also, there are some plot holes that you can't ignore and that's also why I'm rating it with 4 stars. It felt a little bit different from Dial A for Aunties, but also it's because we're having a different situation.
Have in mind that there's a lot to unpack in the book because most things happen in one day and there's chaos after chaos and hOLY SHIT, I LOVED IT.
I need more of the Chan Aunties because they're a walking chaos and I'm here for it.
previous review: shut up, this was so fucking good. i loved it. RTC!
previous update: oMG, IT'S OUT, I CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT, I MISSED MY FAVORITE AUNTIES <3 I WILL LEAVE EVERYTHING JUST TO READ THIS ONE...more
SHAKESPEARE WISHES HE WAS CHLOE GONG. HE COULD NEVER WRITE THIS MASTERPIECE.
So, it took me a while to finishAlexa, play The Great War by Taylor Swift.
SHAKESPEARE WISHES HE WAS CHLOE GONG. HE COULD NEVER WRITE THIS MASTERPIECE.
So, it took me a while to finish this book (more than a fucking year) and it was because I knew what was going to happen... And honestly I wasn't ready. As I said in my review of These Violent Delights, Romeo and Juliet was my first book, and Roma my very first crush, like ever. Holy shit, my mum had to see me cry for him like for 3 hours...
Book 1 made me cry slightly, but book 2 broke me like a fucking promise. I said what I said.
I knew how this was gonna end. I knew it was gonna break my heart and shatter it into million of small pieces. I knew I was gonna cry like a bitch because I'm a cancer with pisces moon, which means I cry a lot, lmao... And still, I read this book.
I'm a masochist, I can see it now.
Dear Chloe, please let me live like a delusional and let me have my happy ending, pretending that my Juliette and Roma lived forever happy....more

Notes. 1. If you haven't read the book and don't want to spoil yourself, I recommend that you don't read any further. 2. The spoilers section, and possible random spoilers, will be signposted to avoid any misunderstandings.
I must admit that this is my first thriller book, so I'm not very familiar with the genre, and now I want to read more. And it's also one of the first I've read entirely in English, and as you know that Spanish is my native language, I assume you'll know that it was a bit complex. Although, I'm adapting a bit more to reading in English. Wish me luck, folks.
In A Good Girl's Guide to Murder we follow Pippa Fitz-Amobi, a 17-year-old student whose final year project is the case of Andie Bell, who was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh and taken for granted by the police. But Pippa knows Sal is innocent, so she decides to find out what happened five years ago and who really killed Andie Bell.
Pippa discovers that Andie had many secrets, that she was not the beautiful and tragic victim that the people of Little Kilton martyred and idolised, branding Sal Singh a murderer and a monster, treating his family very badly for it. In addition, Little Kilton holds even more secrets that intrigue Pip and make her want to keep digging to solve the mystery.
Writing. I don't think I remember reading a book like this, with diary-like entries speaking in first person and then in third person. It was a bit strange, if I'm honest, and it took me a bit longer to adjust. However, it was an easy read in some respects. And, I don't know if it's because of the difference between British and American English, but there were phrases that I had to look up because I didn't understand them, lmao.
Plot. The plot kept me glued in my seat, not wanting to put my phone down, wanting to know what would happen next. I mention that I was late with this book because college is eating me alive, though I made time to keep reading because I was consumed with thoughts of not knowing what would happen, who the killer would be and if Pip was going to find out. There are a lot of plot twists that I wasn't expecting and a lot of things that made my brain almost melt from thinking about it so much.
Pacing. It was a quick and light read, and I take back that I was late because of college: I would have finished it sooner if it weren't for homework. It's not that complicated to understand and the pages turn very quickly.
Characters. Pip is a good girl, addicted to homework and determined to solve the Andie Bell case and prove that Sal Singh is innocent at all costs. So eager is she to find out what really happened, that she finds herself lying to others so that they won't worry about her and try to stop her from abandoning her project.
Ravi is the younger brother of Sal Singh. He has been the target of criticism, and is known as the brother of Andie Bell's killer. Ravi knows his brother is innocent, and when Pip shows up at his door asking him a few questions, he thinks it's a joke. And soon, Ravi becomes Pip's partner in crime, both looking for answers about his brother's sudden death and his innocence in the case. Ravi is a beautiful little baby, don't touch him I want to take care of him.
Also, Ravi: marry me.
Andie was a bitch and it doesn't surprise me much that bad things happened to her. Everyone held her in such high regard, believing she was a good girl whose boyfriend murdered her. Andie ruined several people's lives, and although I thought I would feel bad that she had died, I didn't really. When you find out the truth about Andie Bell, what she did and didn't do, you don't feel any empathy for her.
Cara is Pip's best friend, her older sister is Naomi, who was in turn Sal's best friend and who also keeps a big secret that makes Pip dig very closely into her and her life, including her family. (Bonus and unnecessary fact: Cara translates from Spanish to English as: 'face' and 'expensive'. Unnecessary examples: Su cara es hermosa= her face is beautiful. La camisa es cara= the shirt is expensive.) Follow me for more unnecessary Spanish classes, they are free of charge.
Pip's family is ok. They're the typical caring and normal family. Tho I loved Vic's jokes, jsjsjs he laughing at his own jokes (just as Ravi) is totally me.
Max Hastings can die and I wouldn't care for him. He deserves the shit going on in his life. He's a dick and you can easily see it. Please, go fuck yourself, you fucking bastard. ...more

My review might has some spoilers, watch out!
Read my long review
This will be a review of me drooling over Nikolai fucking Lantsov and Zoya my queen Nazyalensky.
First of all, say that this book took me a while isn't enough. I first started King of Scars on March 31st, 2021. A whole fucking year. I put it on hold because I just couldn't move on from page 212. I was stucked there.
I love Nina, I swear I do. She's one of my favorite characters, but... What the fuck was this? Don't get me wrong, I was excited to see her grief process and everything and I cried so so so fucking much when she let go Matthias (my second fave boy ever after Nikolai) because it hurt me so bad in Crooked Kingdom. Leigh, I will never forgive you for this. But the moment Hanne stepped in, everything went to trash. I like Hanne, but since the first moment I knew who she was and who're gonna be endgame.
It pissed me off because I felt that Nina's grief was gone in 0.1 seconds. Idk if she stills thinking and grieving Matthias, I skipped her chapters and I'm not ashamed of it. If it hadn't been for that, I would have put this book again in my "on hold" shelf or dnf'd.
Once again, I love Nina, but her chapters were unbearable to me. :(
Zoya's development was great. She's been my favorite character for a while and knowing her background and story in a new level of depth was everything to me. Her friendship with Juris was really nice (tho a little bit short and rushed) and how they bonded. Zoya is a fucking badass, and, as Nikolai said, a queen.
Nikolai is the king of my heart (iykyk) and my everything. He's the main reason why I stopped liking the same dark haired and badboy dudes. I mean, they're okay, but a blond king, a charming and funny boy who's arrogant but sweet and romantic and a fucking gentleman who fight with his own demons? That's hot af and what drew me to him.
I was really really really in love with the Darkling when I first read Shadow and Bone (and Ben Barnes feeded my obsession, lol) and then I ended up ditching him when I met the handsome Nikolai Lantsov. Holy fuck, I fell for Nikolai really hard and at this day, my standards are really high just because of him.
Anyways, I'm rating this book 4 stars for the end of the book.
Overall, I feel like this book was like a big "what the fuck?" for me. What was that thing of bring back the Saints, Leigh? Juris and Grigori were okay, but Elizaveta? I should have known that the Darkling is still popular even after his death... My bad.
The fact that I didn't care much for the other characters says a lot of me. I love Genya, David, Tolya and Tamar, but they were just... there. I hope I'll get to see them more in RoW.
Unfortunately, I won't pick up Rule of Wolves anytime soon because I have tons of books that I'm currently reading haha, but I definitely will in a future.
previous review: okay, i'm rating it 4 stars because of that ending.
holy fuck, i remember that i was really in love with that bastard, but nikolai is better anyways.

“Fear is a phoenix. You can watch it burn a thousand times and still it will return.�
Now, we can insert again Gimme Gimme by ABBA.
I have to warn that the review is full of spoilers, and you never know when or at what point you will find one. So, if you haven't read the book yet and want to avoid spoilers (like me), read no further.
Once again, Leigh Bardugo did it.
I must admit that at this point, I've just finished the book and am trying to organize my thoughts through the pain and snot, I'm still crying and my head hurts from it.
The conclusion of Six of Crows came and in splendid fashion. It's everything I expected and a hell of a lot more. There are things I didn't even see coming and I loved them. Once again, I emphasize that Leigh has improved tremendously as a writer and her plots, her writing and her storytelling, grab you from the very first moment. In any case, I have to say that I am 90% satisfied with the outcome of this duology that stole my heart, my soul, my spirit and my being completely.
Kaz plans a final blow, creates a master plan, but not like we saw in Fjerda. Oh, no. Now he has a motive to sink Jan Van Eck even deeper: for kidnapping Inej. And, although Inej is turned over to the others in the first 150 pages, the rest gets more and more interesting. They're not going to stop there just because Van Eck played a bad trick on them that left them in vulnerable positions. Kaz wants Van Eck to sink into a hole he'll never climb out of again.
Okay, that's enough of that. Let's get down to business. I won't summarize the book because that's not what I plan to do.
I plan to express my thoughts on this masterpiece.
I loved it. From the beginning to the end. I laughed, I screamed, I cried, I got angry, and most of all, I enjoyed it. This is the kind of book that I devour in days, that makes me excited enough to stay up late at night reading it. It's the kind of book that makes my heart flip and then flip back to where it belongs, or where my anxiety is on the edge of the cliff and is about to throw me somewhere.
The plot grabbed me, I thought the character development was just right, excellent and well unraveled. I liked how Leigh explained a lot about the background of the characters through memories and intertwined them with their present actions. Leigh's writing is divine, it grabbed me and I loved it, I even love her short stories. Everything about this book delighted, fascinated and thrilled me.
When Sturmhond appeared, I cried like a little girl, because I missed him too much, as well as my goddess Zoya and my queen Genya. I would have liked to see David, but I have enough with them.
I forgot to add some things, lmao.
Kaz: You fucking little genius. You got me screaming and so fucking anxious during the entire book, made my heart racing.
Inej:Thank you for beating the shit out of Dunyasha, we needed it. A truly queen who deserves the entire world and being back with her family.
Nina: My sweetie pie, I want to protect you from this cruel cruel cruel world and give you all my love. Also, waking up the dead? A MF QUEEN. YOU CAN HAVE MY BODY AND MY SOUL TOO.
Jesper: A baby. I wanted to kick him SO bad, but also hug him and tell him that everything was gonna be alright. His father is so sweet and naive that I must protect him at all cost.
Wylan: Hun, you deserve to be happy, be again with your mom (tbh I cried when he found out that his mom was alive), and have all the fucking money that your fucking and ugly father denied you. My sweet angel.
Matthias: I will always love you, my big bear :( I already miss you and know that I cried for you like for two hours, and I'm still crying. You deserved so mucH MORE AND YOUR DEATH WAS SO INSIGNIFICANT AND RIDICULOUS, I WAS EXPECTING MORE FROM YOUR DEATH, DEAR LEIGH, WHY???? I'M PISSED OFF, BUT I'M STILL LOVE MY BIG TULIP BOY.
Leigh: thank you for giving me so much in so little and spare my life for taking so long. Also, Leigh: I will never forgive you for what you did to my sweet Matthias. He was my favorite in this bilogy and you ripped him from me like he was my own heart. Chapter 40 took away any hope of life I had.
I have nothing else to say, and if I do, I will probably edit this review to add more positive things of this masterpiece, but for now, my 5 stars and my broken and bleeding heart for Matthias Benedik Helvar say it all.

So I made a for this book (perhaps I'll start to make playlists from now on, tbh, lol) If it flops, I'm gonna delete it because yikes.
Buckle up, bitches, my review has some spoilers, so, you've been warned.
I'm gonna start saying that Romeo and Juliet was the very first book that I've ever read and Romeo was my first fictional character boyfriend... Yes, I was madly, truly, deeply and insanely in love with Romeo Montague (in Spanish for me is Montesco, so, lol) and I cried like a bitch when he died... I was only 11, please understand me. So, there was NO FUCKING WAY IN HELL that I was gonna miss the chance to read this book.
Miss Chloe Gong is my age and she's already a bestseller author... I envy you for that, Chloe, trust me. I feel like a failure, lol, jk or not.
The fact that Romeo Montagov is Russian made me lost my entire shit. Yes, I'm a big ass fan of Russian culture, in case you're wondering. Why? I have no fucking clue and don't ask me. My mom says it all started when I first watched Disney's Anastasia at the age of 6. When he switched of languages, using Russian, I was drooling and screaming. Again, idk why.
I'm gonna make something clear. This book took me a while (I started it on June 27th) because I was on a huge-ass reading slump; it wasn't the book, it was totally me.
The writing style of this book is fucking exquisite. I loved the metaphors, the descriptions, tHE WAY EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IS PORTRAYED, HOLY SHIT!
I was really wheezing, laughing and cackling over the "I am Russian, not an alcoholic" at 12:00 a.m, lol.
I really really really loved Juliette, she's a baddie, even if she's struggling so bad with her emotions. I would thank her if she'd stabbed me, or say sorry for stealing her oxygen.
I wished that Roma would've had a little bit of more personality, but he's funny tho. Roma Montagov, please marry me. Now. "You could be a Montagov" What a way to proposte to me, but yes, I do. Please, get on a balcony and call me "dorogaya."
Kathleen is ma girl, touch her and you'll die. I'm still debating what's going on with Rosalind.
Benedikt, my little angel. I must protect him.
I'm taking one moment to yell at you, Marshall fucking Seo. I CRIED FOR YOU, I MOURNED YOU FOR HALF AN HOUR, I EVEN PUT MY BOOK DOWN AND CRIED LIKE A FUCKING BITCH FOR YOU. AND IT TURNED OUT YOU WERE ALIVE THE ENTIRE TIME. I HATE YOU, BUT I LOVE YOU, YOU FUCKING BASTARD.
Tyler, I hope Juliette kills you <3
Paul had it coming tbh.
Well, I loved this book so much. And if you think I'm gonna pick up the second because of the cliffhanger of this one, you're right. I am doing that.
Dear Chloe, I'm gonna send you the bill of my therapist so you can start to pay it, because I honestly lost my shit around the chapter 36 (cHAPTER 36 WAS ONLY 6 WORDS, BUT THEY KILLED ME)....more

I tried. I swear I did.
I loved Addie LaRue with my entire life and Schwab's writing is so beautiful, but for some reason, I can't connect with this book. I don't actually know if it's the story itself, or the characters. Or perhaps it's me.
No, wait. The story it's good, intriguing and I was wondering a lot about the monsters, so, strike that. The characters, perhaps? Kate was meh, kind of bitchy and I didn't like her a lot. August felt like a ghost to me. Literally. He was here but he wasn't and I got kind of confused.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying this book is bad or something like that. I actually liked some elements and details, and the fucking writing is gorgeous. I'm obsessed with Victoria's writing style; that's how you tell a story. Unfortunately, this will be a dnf to me, and it makes me really sad because I really wanted to like this book.
I was eager to read This Savage Song for the mere fact that it's written by my powerful queen.
I feel sad. :( Perhaps another day I will pick it up again and give it another try.
I'm giving it 3 stars because the idea and the story are amazing, but here I will apply the "it's not you, it's me."...more

“No mourners. No funerals. Among them, it passed for 'good luck.�
If we added as soundtrack Gimme Gimme by ABBA to this book, it would fit. Can y'all imagine Inej, Jesper and Wylan stealing the tank and running away with that song on the background? Masterpiece. *chef kiss*
Six of Crows is by far one of my favorite books. I read it two years ago, after the Grisha trilogy and I have to admit that Leigh Bardugo has improved tremendously as a writer. I consider this a much better story than her main trilogy. The plot, the characters, the writing, the pacing, the descriptions, the worldbuilding and the breadth she has given it is perfection.
I'll go in order to describe how much I loved this book.
In Six of Crows, we follow six misfits who have a common goal: thirty million kruge. They have to go to the Ice Court in Fjerda, the "safest" prison in the world and rescue, or kidnap, Bo Yul-Bayur, a Grisha who accidentally created a drug called jurda parem, which sharpens and increases the Grisha's powers, taking them to high and unknown levels.
We have a sharpshooter who can't stay away from a good bet. A wayward son who was kicked out of his father's house and is underestimated, but is very smart. An ex-convict accused slaver, the world's most handsome, lovable, and idiotic fjerdan brute, out for revenge. A lost Grisha who makes a living healing people and trying to get the fjerdan out of the jail he put him in. A suli girl who is basically a ghost, the Wrath, a spy who defies the laws of gravity and is a sweetheart of a person. And finally, our favorite swindler: the Bastard of the Barrel, someone whom legends have turned him into a monster, someone without scruples, without morals or conscience.
Will they be able to unite to achieve their goal and come out alive? Or will they end up killing each other before they reach Fjerda?
Plot. As I said, compared to the Grisha trilogy, Six of Crows is perfection at its finest. It's not the first heist book (I've only read this one, sorry), but it grabs you from the first moment. I love that Leigh has taken up the Grisha again - I must confess that I love the Grisha order and how she has placed them - and that in this book she continues to include them as a fundamental part of the plot. Just like the first time, Six of Crows grabbed me, although I never understood why Joost and his chapter, I did feel bad that he was all dead.
Each chapter had me hooked and begging for more. Even the very end left me screaming and crying like crazy. I have to repeat it: Miss Bardugo, this is a masterpiece, an exquisite and divine piece. Every plot twist had me in suspense or saying "I need more". It's a more radical departure from what we were given in the Grisha trilogy.
They steal, explote things, destroy places and make great entrances, lol
My mood during every single plot: [image]
Characters. Kaz "killer cane" Brekker. I want to protect him, and at the same time beat him with his cane. His story is touching at a certain point and makes you understand how or why Kaz became who he is now, why he is such a bastard, arrogant and fearless at the same time. There is never a challenge hard enough for him as he dares to prove otherwise. He shows us that he is one step ahead of the rest, and if he runs out of tricks, our demjin manages and invents more.
Dirty Hands is a magician, a monster thirsty for revenge for the death of his brother, Jordie, thanks to a scam Pekka Rollins pulled on them when they were just kids. Kaz is full of secrets, tricks, schemes and more that it's scary to know what he's thinking. He's a bastard forged in the very cauldrons of hell, a seventeen-year-old kid who worked his way up through tooth and nail, using his brother's corpse to swim and get to where he is.
Inej "The Wrath" Ghafa. Inej was captured and sold as a slave to the cursed Tante Heleen, who owns a brothel. Inej has the ability to go unnoticed, so much so that Kaz Brekker did not feel her approaching him. In any case, Kaz pays Inej's contract with Heleen and joins the Undesirables, becomes Kaz's right-hand man and his spy, or spider. Kaz and Inej are obviously in love, but they don't confess it to each other because it's complicated, and I don't know if I want to yell at them to kiss, or punch them to make them realize it. Inej deserves the whole world. She can stab me and I would appreciate it.
Nina "my queen" Zenik. Nina had joined the Ravkan Second Army and was captured before the civil war in Ravka, she was imprisoned by the »å°ùü²õ°ì±ð±ô±ô±ð to be taken to Fjerda to be tried for her crimes, which are basically: having powers. She is a heartrender, order of the Corporalki. She met my other goddess Zoya Nazyalenski. Well, anyway, Matthias was one of the »å°ùü²õ°ì±ð±ô±ô±ð who imprisoned her and when their ship sinks, she saves him. Nina and Matthias wander around in each other's company and in the end, she brands him a slaver and Matthias ends up imprisoned in Kerch. One can feel the tension between them: enemies to lovers vibes, yup, I live for that. In the end, to save them all, Nina decides to consume jurda parem and knows that she will experience drastic changes in terms of her power and herself.
Matthias "the tulip" Helvar. He is my beautiful baby, the most adorable bear and the cutest brute of all. You don't know how much I have laughed for him, he is so innocent in many things that I want to protect him from everything and everyone. Yes, I have a thing for blond brutes (Nikolai Lantsov, I'm talking to you too). From the first time I read Six of Crows, I instantly fell in love with Matthias and will be in love with him until I die. Amen. I already know what happens to him in Crooked Kingdom and I don't want it to come to that. Seriously he deserves all the love in the world, and even though I wanted to punch him many times, I also wanted to hug him and tell him that everything is going to be okay. In the end, Matthias renounces the beliefs that were instilled in him, accepts reality and becomes a Dreg, fighting against his own people.
Jesper "crazy hands" Fahey. Jes is a Zemeni boy who came to Kerch to study at the university, but by chance, he ends up becoming a gambler. Jesper is a Grisha, a Materialki, and only Kaz and Inej know his secret. He is a fairly agile sharpshooter and a gambler who can't resist a good game without knowing he will lose. In a slip of the tongue, Jesper confesses what they are about to do and as they are about to leave Ketterdam, they are attacked. Jesper is a baby and I must protect him from all evil and danger. Plus, I really ship him with Wylan.
Wylan "little merc" Van Eck. Another baby. I want to protect him from everything and everyone, especially his bastard of a father. Ugh, I hate him. When Jan Van Eck proves to be the jerk he is in front of his son, I wanted to cry with rage because my little baby boy doesn't deserve any of that. Wylan is smarter than others give him credit for, and even Kaz thinks that just because he can't read doesn't stop him from doing amazing things; he doesn't put it that way, but I do.
Worldbuilding. We find ourselves in a totally different country from Ravka. In the Grisha trilogy, we focused more on a description of Ravka, but now, we have two different places: Kerch and Fjerda. Although Shu Han, Novyi Zem, and Ravka are mentioned again, Ketterdam is a fairly fixed point. The description of the places is incredible: you seriously imagine it as a Dutch city in the Victorian era. Tell me I wasn't the only one.
I don't know what else can I say about these assholes that I haven't already said. They're so chaotic, funny and you attach to them really quick, even if you want to kick them. I can't really believe they're 16-17-18 years old: they feel really older and "mature", but once you know them, you realize they're a bunch of kids trying to make a heist.
Anyways, I loved Six of Crows with my entire life. I'm a sucker for this masterpiece and I'm really looking forward Crooked Kingdom, but knowing what happens to my tullip makes me wanna cry, scream and destroy the world.
