some quotes :
“She’s not a soldier; she doesn’t know how to fight; and she has no idea how to use her powers, not really, which makes things even worse. It’s basically like giving a toddler a stick of dynamite and telling him to walk into a fire.” ⤷ his confidence in juliette in inspiring! compare to warner encouraging juliette to take over the world <3

this was just the most adorable holiday novella ever! Ofc I would have loved more scarjulian content, but I ate up the crumbs stephanie fed us. And tellalegend are adorable as well. I loved the christmas story and the quirky little details, though my favorite part was definitely the illustrations– they are stunning!! I can’t stop staring at the julian ones ...more
I just looked up at the sky, saw the stars, and thought that if God could hold them, maybe I wasn’t too far and maybe His arm was long enough to hold I just looked up at the sky, saw the stars, and thought that if God could hold them, maybe I wasn’t too far and maybe His arm was long enough to hold me too.
this was the most adorable novelette! With its snazzy mint-green cover, loveable characters, light and cute writing, and amazing themes, this story had me under its bookish spell from the first page to the last. It's the perfect length and is so comfortable in its own skin.
I've read a lot of books with broken or messed up characters, but the books almost never point towards the only one who can take away that pain and hurt. Jesus Christ. And this book, with its 84 pages, has a more effective redemption story than the 400+ pages of some typical YA novel that I've read in the past. I don't know if the author writes from personal experience, someone else's, or if this story and premise are 100% fictional, but whatever it is, she handles it beautifully!
Overall this was such a cute and hopeful little story and I highly recommend picking it up when you have an hour or two to kill or want to cuddle up with a light book and a cup of tea on a rainy day. I am impossibly excited to see what comes next from this budding author ...more
MARY PEARSON WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY HEART?? My poor bruised, battered, BLOODY heart, and you went and SMASHED IT TO SMITHEREENS!!??
AND THIS BOOK ISNMARY PEARSON WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY HEART?? My poor bruised, battered, BLOODY heart, and you went and SMASHED IT TO SMITHEREENS!!??
AND THIS BOOK ISN'T EVEN SAD!!!!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??
I am yours, Morrighan, forever yours... and when the last star of the universe blinks silent, I will still be yours.
This short novel is truly, soul-crushingly lovely. It's written with such intricacy and taste, every word overflowing with meaning and intrigue, that you can have no doubt the author knew exactly what she was doing. Creating a beautiful world with a fascinating history, then turning that history into a deep, personal story? If you fell in love with The Remnant Chronicles like I did, this one is a must-read. It sated my increasing need for more of her writing while also delivering something fresh and new. It's perfect in every way.
Morrighan herself, the infamous Remnant, is such a deep character. You can feel her desire and longing, wants and needs, strengths and weaknesses, and burdening knowledge of what was, and is, and is to come straight through the page. Her actions and thoughts are saturated with it. Jafir also, his love for Morrighan is indescribable and he truly functions on it. Their story is a great star-crossed romance, but through it all they never lost sight of each other.
He had changed. We both had. But we had changed together.
The journey. The romance. The magic, deeply rooted in the characters and world and shown in every turn of the plot. It's everything you could ask for and more. And then, when it couldn't get better, it did. Because there are illustrations and they are beautiful.
One day hope would have a name.
Please, read this series. I beg of you. You won't regret it, and if you do you have no braincells at all....more
