Review: A Court of Wings and Ruin

A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



"They say you came back different. Came back wrong. I never bother to tell them I think you came back right. Came back right at last. - Alis


Can we just talk about Alis for a minute? She's amazing. She sees through the falsehoods and what was happening to Feyre. Even Lucien saw, but didn't defend. Didn't say anything. But Alis, she knew and she begged Mor to take her. Alis is a freaking low key hero.


★︎ No one is going to convince me that Lucien and Feyre don't have chemistry. Once I've finished the series, I'm totally looking up fanfiction about them.
★︎ Really wish we could get some of Lucien's inner monologue about these twins. Feyre was right. He would definitely have some comments. lol

Review: Spelled

Spelled by Betsy Schow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really liked all the fairy tale elements. However I would have liked them more if this wasn't so Oz based. They either shouldn't be there or make it a general fairy tale.

Review: Murder on the Orient Express

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars





From the get-go, this cast is a tad big for me. Especially when listening. However, the individual interrogations/interviews helped a lot.
Can old women be cozy? Cause if they can, Mrs. Hubbard is cozy.A cozy busybody, but nonetheless. I understand why they all got so sick of hearing about her daughter. I don't think I could let Ratchett get by without telling me anything. I'm not McQueen. I'm nosy. lol Really enjoyed the valet on the audio. He sounded exactly like Snape somehow. Man, Princesses and Colonels and Counts and Countesses all aboard one train. Fancy.
(view spoiler)[And to think they're all killers. Well, and accomplices. I don't blame them at all. Any man who has 12 unrelated people willing to kill him in cold blood probably did something- even if Poirot didn't explain what he did. (hide spoiler)]


I mean, if Ratchett already had the letter, why wait to get someone to investigate? Just to chance meeting Poirot on the train and then chance him taking the case? Ummm, I doubt it. Here's the thing about this plot. After Ratchett is killed, nothing actually happens. Interviews and that's it. No real action. And yet..., somehow I was rapt. I hung on every word from these people and just guessed (much like Poirot himself) what was going to be exposed next. (view spoiler)[ Gotta say I wasn't expecting that. The entire book I was trying to pinpoint which two people would have worked together. I love how at the end, they all agree to let it go and get away with the whole thing, and with Poirot backing them, the police wouldn't ask questions. It appears the key to a successful murder is to collect enough people who want someone dead in one place. (hide spoiler)]


Poirot just straight up said, Yeah not gonna take your case cause I don't like your face. Big oof
Women are like that. They have great strength when they are enraged. Man, he's just trying to shift some blame. Tsktsk
Use the little grey matter of the mind.
He uses curling tongs on his moustache. I just can't. hahaha
