DNF, however, this is a wonderful book. It's just sad and full of quite sad topics. I am just not in the headspace for it right now. Will probably pick it up again in the future.

Gods are forbidden in the kingdom of Middren. Formed by human desires and fed by …
A world where gods were once rampant now sees religion as outlawed. The fates of a young noble girl who is bound to a small god, a godkiller, and a former royal knight become intertwined.
I was very much into this book at first. The world building is good, and the first few chapters have pretty fantastic prose and character introductions. It definitely will suck you in. However, towards the later half of the book I found myself feeling a bit disappointed with how some of the characters, and their relationships to each other, developed. Particularly Elo, who I grew to increasingly dislike despite my best wishes. It does end on a fairly good note--this book is definitely more of a 3.5 than a 3. If it weren't for those flagging and awkward moments, it could have easily been a 4. I just didn't feel compelled to hurry and read …

Fourteen year old Mona is a baker but she is also a not-very-powerful wizard - …
The young teenage baker and bread wizard Mona finds herself in a series of events that spiral out of control in a swirl of politics and war.
As far as YA books this is pretty cute and decent. It has an interesting take on magic, and the main characters were compelling. There was a bit of a lean into toilet humor at points that was kind of eye-roll worthy, but overall, pretty enjoyable.

Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is accustomed to solitude, unaware that she is being …
This story is fairly solid. The plot is interesting, and I liked the fresh take on an old legend. The romance is pretty stereotypical for a ya novel, nothing exciting. My biggest complaints are that there is an unecessary amount of repetition in some observations, and that the writing is pretty simplistic. Nothing in the prose was noteworthy. Very tell over show.
