Chronically ill young adult problems #10

Choosing a career path is a lot more complicated when you’re chronically ill. You have to consider your symptoms and physical limitations when choosing a job or major as well as your passions and interests. Some jobs may be too physically demanding for you, and some courses of study may be too mentally draining. As much as you don’t want your chronic illness to hold you back, you have to be realistic about what you can and can’t do for the sake of your health.

Nincs Karácsony Diótörő Nélkül

Katherine sóhajtva nézett ki a hatalmas ablakon és figyelte az alatta sürgő-forgó Londont. Még egyetlen karácsonyi ajándékot sem szerzett be pedig vészesen fogytán volt az ideje. Átvéve a lábát a balettrúdon az orrát a hideg ablakhoz nyomta és próbálta eldönteni kinek mit ajándékozzon. Sohasem volt túl jó abban, hogy kitalálja mit vegyen a szüleinek vagy a legjobb barátjának. Ami nem volt…

I consumed Six of Crows and I’m forcing myself to wait to read the second book until I write this review. 

The audiobook for this book is amazing. I appreciated the casting and the acting was phenomenal. I’m picky with my audiobooks and this one was really well done. 

Most important aspect of this book, the characters. Each member in the gang has specific skill sets to perform the the heist. Kaz, the leader of the gang was the most developed character but all members had intriguing and unique backstories that explains how they got into this situation. 

These people aren’t fairy tale teenagers who do bad things because it’s fun–they are criminals, some by choice and others were forced into it by crippling debt or enslavement. The balance of hardened criminal and young teenage energy was well done and understandable. The dialogue and banter between the characters felt natural. 

This book deals with some heavy trauma and I thought it was cleverly used, especially within Kaz. The horrifying flashbacks of feeling his dead brothers body has made him overly sensitive to touch of any kind. The constant wearing of gloves has created myths about the secret he hides and it becomes a trademark of his. I don’t know if this kind of thing exists in the real world but it makes sense within the story. 

The characters were the focal point of the story, then the heist. This story takes place in two cities. The world building isn’t very expansive but for the story that was being told, it suited the book. The personal growth of each character and getting through the heist is what makes this story good. Each character had a satisfying arc and none got left behind by other characters. 

I’m not usually a fan of heist movies or books so I wasn’t totally enthralled by the plot but I stayed for the characters. One thing I did appreciate was the fact that the entire plan went to shit. Literally every step failed or didn’t go as expected. Even at the very end the entire premise of the book falls apart. 

This book is good YA heist story with enjoyable characters. I enjoyed it and now I will go read Crooked Kingdom.

Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo cover redesign! Finally, the suite is complete❤️ Thank you to everyone who followed along, but fear not, the boys are coming ✨✨

Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim is out today! It’s a delightful little tale set in fantasy East Asia, complete with sassy dragons, snaky witches, and secrets identities, and I do recommend, esp if you’re also a fan of Spin the Dawn bc it ties in very nicely

Broken Web by Lori M. Lee was kind of great, thanks in no small part to the wonderful villain of the story. After all, who doesn’t love villains who parallel their heroes? Who doesn’t love a tragic backstory? And a little light murder?

Book 2 ended on such a cliffhanger, the wait for book 3 will actually kill me

Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao was a delight and I’m so happy that I got to read the ARC! For the rest of y’all, fear not! It’s on Netgalley rn as a “read now” for a limited time so you can experience the glorious Wu Zetian and her husbands for yourselves

Hello hello it’s the Realm Breaker by @vaveyard dust jacket I designed for The Bookish Box!

The Ones We’re Meant to Find by Joan He

Cee awoke on an abandoned island three years ago. With no idea of how she was marooned, she only has a rickety house, some basic survival skills, an old android, and a single memory: she has a sister, and she needs to find her.

STEM prodigy Kay wants to escape from the home she once trusted. The Metropolis is Earth’s last unpolluted place, meant to be a sanctuary for those committed to planetary protection. As Kay gets older, she realizes the Metropolis is populated by people willing to do anything for refuge. Now, she’ll have to decide if she’s ready to use science to help humanity, even though it failed the people who mattered most to her.

This sci-fi novel is perfect for fans of Marie Lu’s Legend series, and for fans of the Maze Runner books. Stick with it through the twists and turns for a really satisfying finish.

Taking care of business, every daaay!!! …not really, with Pokemon taking up all my time. That changes today though! Today I got the first chapter of my comic thumbed; I plan to post it as a weekly webcomic soon. It’ll be a re-make of an old comic I did for class, “Sidekick Support Group.”  I know this thumbnail probably makes little to no sense to most of you, but it’s still proof that something is on the way!

Maybe I’ll post the old version in the meantime

Furyborn | Claire Legrand | 4 stars

Furyborn cover
I am so excited for Furyborn! I was ever since I read the plot on Goodreads. Two queens in prophecy, but a 1000 years apart? I’m calling that a unique idea in YA fantasy. The book also looks pretty amazing, and after reading it I am still just as enthusiastic about Claire Legrand’s Furyborn. I wonder what’s going to happen in the next books, and even though we got some answers now, there is still…
