Switching up the format of these posts a little: going to do a bit more in depth ratings breakdown for a few highlight books (either really good books or really terrible books will be featured here), and then list the others afterwards. Also going to include a recap of recent reviews.
You might recognise some of the mini reviews if you follow me on GR- in classic lazy Nara style, I've just copied and pasted them :P

You know what was so awesome about this book? All the characters were incredibly interesting. Despite the multiple POV, it wasn't like I was racing through one section to get to another- I was equally invested in all the POV characters. Which, I feel, is pretty rare.
Intriguing magic system as well!
