The Academy of the Dead | A REVIEW

Let me tell you, I was not expecting the twists and turns in the first few chapters, and especially not the reveal towards the end. But to keep you on the edge of your seat, the most I will give you are allusions, quotes, and reasons why you want to read this book.

The cover of "Cress" by Marissa Meyer depicting the back of a woman with long, braided hair twisting down her arm towards the floor.

Camels, Caravans, and Cutting Hair - REVIEW

Cress is an action-packed and love-filled, sci-fi dystopian retelling of "Rapunzel."

The cover of "Scarlet" by Marissa Meyer, featuring a red cape flowing and a glimpse of a girl's red hair in front of a dark blue, cloudy background.

Blood, Sweat(shirts), and Tears - REVIEW

"Scarlet" is a sci-fi, dystopian fairy tale retelling—a book of fights, escape-artistry, farmland, outer space, and a little bit of romance.
