Book information


Title: A Kingdom of Quartz 1


Author: Bomhat


Where to buy: Amazon & Kodansha.

*I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.*


Cover: Sooo good. I scroll quite fast most of the time and this made me stop. It really catched my eyes!

Drawings: I think it's quite lovely drawn. As always it's black-white as it's a manga, but the drawing style is really good. Especially the prince of Quartz. He looks so good! 


Nice drawings. Almost every third page has a big drawing and I personally like them a lot. The hair was also drawn really well from each character. The feathers are drawn with so much detail. And there are sometimes small stars around the drawings, I think that's cute. 


Get to know the main character Blue quite fast. We get an insight of the life of Blue and how she has a hard time interacting with other's based on her wings. I can relate to her on many ways and I think showing her insecurities is a great way of making a reader connect more with the characters.


Every few pages happens a new event and it makes the reader excited to read more. 

How it works: Only everything that is lower than 9 gets reduced from the final rating. Depending on how strong it inflicted the overall enjoyment of reading it effects differently.

Thank you for the advanced reader copy of A Kingdom of Quartz 1 by Bomhat. I recommend this book to everyone who likes to read manga in the fantasy genre. Personally I didn't find anything triggering, so everyone 13+ can read this book!

Review: The Six Deaths Of The Saint

Book information Title: The Six Deaths Of The Saint Author: Alix E. Harrow Where to buy:  Amazon . This review includes spoilers, read at your own risk. “Well, she is my Devil now.” In a thousand years and a thousand after that, they will still sing of the Prince and his Devil. Your body fighting battles you’d already won or hadn’t yet fought. “My Devil,” he said, and there was nothing you would not do for him when he spoke in this voice: fond, fatherly, full of love. You understood, finally, that there had never truly been a she or a you but only a terrible, lonely I. “I would rather love a coward than mourn a legend.” I wanted so badly to be beloved. But only one person in all my lives has ever loved me, and he does not wear a crown. Likes: Tragic past of the main character makes them more human than anyone in the story thought she was. Also, the little detail with the red hair and the century (witches) was awesome. Everyone thought she was a devil 'cause of her red hair (and her...

Review: The Way It Is

The Way It Is by Shirani Rajapakse My rating: 4 of 5 stars *I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.* The Book ‘The Way It Is’, is about a poetry collection ranging from politics and racism to war and death. Even though the poems don't rhyme most of the time, it still has a great flow while reading. I really liked about this book how wide ranging the topics were in it. After reading about war, I was reading about how woman dress and misogyny and then after that about slavery. Poems express so much more than outspoken words ever can and Shirani Rajapakse kept me intrigued with her poetry collection till the end. While reading I felt that these poems felt extremely personal and heartbreaking for me. The way the words were chosen for each poem, made me feel heard and understood, as I express the same feelings to certain topics that were covered in this collection. The poems were also not overly complicate...

Review: The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray

The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde My rating: 4 of 5 stars Short summary of my review The Picture of Dorian Gray is a great read for anyone who believes to like stories about the soul and body and how easily it can get influenced or 'stained'. The character development for me in this book took me by surprise as I didn't expect it to turn out in the way it did. A few chapters before the ending was a tense moment, which felt like a great plot twist as I didn't expect the things that happened there. Despite Dorian Gray appearing to be smart and proofing it multiple times, he did some fatal mistakes that could have ended very badly for him. So, it left me confused as to why he was rewarded with luck, for his not well-thought-out plan. Disclaimer I read the original edition, which is the uncensored version of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Note The following review is spoiler free, which misses a few aspects. If you want to ...
