wings and fables

This month I’ll be writing about the books I read in February and March. I don’t usually combine months but I was unable to read anything in February until the tail end of the month and, before I knew it, it was way past time to make an appropriate wrap-up post. I wasn’t able to read as much as I wanted to in March since my sibling and I took a spontaneous (but safe!) road trip for her Spring break but I’ll be including some pictures from the trip to make up for it! So without further ado, let’s get into the recap of my past few weeks.

Books I Read in February:

The first book I wanted to jump into when I was able to read again was The Cruel Prince by Holly Black. One of my best friends has raved about this series for as long as I’ve known her and I was super eager to read them. So I binge read the entire series during the last week of the month. Unfortunately, I didn’t love them as much as she does but I think that may be due to the fact that I read Maas’s writing first and subconsciously compared the series to ACOTAR (which I enjoyed much more than these). I have a post detailing 5 things I liked about the series and 5 things I didn’t like which you can read here but overall I sit in the unusual camp of feeling that the series became better as it went on rather than being disappointed like other readers. It’s a young adult fantasy series featuring a human who has been brought to the faerie world to live out her life after her parents are murdered.
