Maulin Amin's review of Katabasis 4/5: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5 rounded to 4) Spoiler Advisory 🚨 – This review discusses major plot points and character arcs. This book was…weird. Weird in that R.F. Kuang way where it’s part love story, part a...

Weird, messy, fascinating. Katabasis is academia with magick, toxic mentors, & a love story forged in hell. Alice + Peter stumble, fail, grow, and learn the cost of ambition. Not my fave Kuang, but worth the ride. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Free speech?
Really?
It cost Jimmy Kimmel his job.

Maulin Amin's review of Mary 5/5: Sometimes a book sneaks up on you. This one did. It’s the perfect case of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” What I expected was just another horror novel. What I got was something funny, sad, gr...

Horror isn’t just blood + monsters. It’s us. Our insecurities, our politics, our cruelty. Mary: An Awakening of Terror by Nat Cassidy ripped me open + showed me the real nightmare: society itself. Brutal. Brilliant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A gummy bear.

Unpopular opinion: I kinda like the new intro for #TheWhiteLotus

Maulin Amin's review of Piranesi 5/5: The beauty of quiet places. Reading Piranesi felt like sitting quietly by a window on a rainy day. It didn’t rush me. It didn’t demand anything. It just asked me to be still and listen. The st...

Some books rush; Piranesi listens. It’s a story about solitude, memory, and the quiet courage to step beyond comfort. It reminded me that peace is precious, but so is growth. A gentle, human book I’ll carry with me—like a small light in my chest—for a long time. #BookSky #Fantasy #DarkAcademia

What’s your unpopular opinion? I’ll go first: If you need a vacation to recover from your vacation, it wasn’t really a vacation. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Canadians are “nice” and “not racists”. This wasn’t even about Canada and they made it about them and their coffee.

It’s disgusting how companies who have the platform to standup are bending over backwards for you know who.

I didn’t know Amazon Prime was working on a sequel to Red, White, and Royal Blue called “Red, White, and Blue land” 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 #AmericanPolitics #POTUS #Greenland

Found this comment under reviews for The Husky & His White Cat Shizun Vol 1. Who’s telling Selena what she got her granddaughter? #BookSky

Maulin Amin's review of Immortal Dark (Immortal Dark Trilogy, #1) 4/5: This is what Fourth Wing could have been if it was well written. It’s like stepping into a world that actually has depth after wading through something painfully surface-level. The Ethiopian sett...

Ethiopian vampires, real stakes, and dark academia that actually makes you question your morals. Slow but intentional. The second half stumbles, but the tension, betrayal, and mystery hit hard. Tigest is one to watch. #ImmortalDark #DarkAcademia #BookSky

He comes and sits on the book because I chose to read over playing with him. #BookSky

How do most people still don’t understand therapy in 2025? 👀👀👀 What’s so scary about it? #MentalHealth

Have you ever giggled like a teenager while reading a line from a book? I did while reading Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma. “As long as hating me leaves you on my lap, I can bear it. Hate me for eternity.” 👀🤭👀🤭👀🤭🤫 #BookSky

How insecure do you have to be to boo another human being? It’s one thing to have an opinion vs to bring someone down. #SuperBowl

Maulin Amin's review of How to Solve Your Own Murder (Castle Knoll Files, #1) 2/5: (I always round down) ★★☆☆☆ (2.5/5) This book had an intriguing premise, no doubt. A murder mystery that promised a fresh take on the genre, one that had me nostalgic for my high school days whe...

Great premise, but the execution? Not so much. Too many characters, a juvenile amateur detective, and twists that feel more sneaky than clever. If you love mystery books, you might enjoy it, but don’t expect a gripping thriller. #BookReview #MysteryBooks #BookSky

Maulin Amin's review of That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf (Mead Mishaps, #2) 3/5: (3.5 stars, rounding down while rating because I’m feeling petty) I mean, with a title like That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf, you know exactly what kind of chaotic en...

Chaotic, fun, but not as strong as book one. The romance felt rushed, more infatuation than love, and character depth took a hit. Still, the humor lands, and I’m hooked enough to read book three. #FantasyRomance #BookReview #BookSky

Maulin Amin's review of The Bell Jar 5/5: A Book That Breaks You, Then Laughs With You About It I don’t just recommend The Bell Jar—I want to own it. I want a paper copy I can scribble all over, underline, and fill with messy notes in t...

“The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath is a profound exploration of mental health and societal expectations. Esther Greenwood’s journey resonates deeply, reflecting struggles many face. Plath’s dark humor adds a unique touch, making this a must-read for those seeking insight into the human psyche. #BookSky

Maulin Amin's review of Onyx Storm (The Empyrean, #3) 4/5: Onyx Storm – Or, How I Became a Game of Thrones Conspiracy Theorist Alright, let’s get one thing straight: I devoured this book. I chewed through it like a dragon discovering its first barbecue....

Did we all agree Violet is Daenerys’s long-lost cousin? Xaden = Khal Drogo 2.0? Also, mystery ≠ leaving stuff out just to drag the plot. Still, dragons, chaos, and low-budget porn dialogue kept me hooked. 4.5⭐️ but I NEED the next book. #OnyxStorm #FantasyReads #BookSky

Nobody: 😶😶😶
Xaden every time he sees Violet in Onyx Storm:
That good kitty-kitty, good kitty-kitty
Make it my pet (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Pretty pussy, type of pussy
You ain’t ever gon’ forget (Ah-ah).

Maulin Amin's review of Lightfall (The Everlands Trilogy, #1) 1/5: I wanted to love Lightfall by Ed Crocker. Really, I did. The premise hooked me right away—a murder in a powerful family of immortals, mysterious villains, and a world that hinted at dark intrigue...

Disappointing. Lightfall by Ed Crocker starts strong but unravels quickly. Flat characters, bland villains, and low stakes made it hard to care. Even the audiobook was poorly produced. Great premise, but execution? A letdown. Skip this one.

You’re proof that courage exists, even when it feels like no one’s looking. I’m so proud of you. Hold on—somewhere, someone is grateful for your existence.

To my queerios: Life can be unbearably heavy. The world might not understand you, and every step feels like a fight. I wish I could promise it gets easier, but what I do know is this: your quiet bravery lights a path others will one day follow.
