Damsel in Delight

Just finished my blog post on the trope of 'morally gray' and how it is being applied to female heroines more and more who dont do anything that classically heroic male mc's do! I'd love for you to check it out and share your thoughts!

It took me an age to pick up Reckless! But I’m so glad I did - her world and characters are just so beautiful 🥰

Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard 13+B This book is one I have wanted to read since Red Queen (honestly changed my brain chemistry and my shelves forever!) and so in true bookish fashion it has sat on my TBR for just long enough fo…

Do any of you put of books that one of your favourite authors wrote because you really really want to like it?? 🫣Realm Breaker was one of those but I finally read it and really enjoyed it! Here is the review on my blog with romance and violence ratings!
