ItвЂ™s pure brilliance and soul and of course naturally, I loved it too! (Fun fact: I reread Crooked Kingdom the day after I finished it because.

Okay IвЂ™m definitely being a bit hyperbolic, but it is no secret that Six of Crows is one of the most well-received and well-loved YA book series in the community. So virtually, everyone loves the Six of Crows duology. Out of every 10 people, 9.5 love Six of Crows, rounded up to the nearest integer, that is 10. I came across C.B.вЂ™s review on Goodreads and truly appreciated the sharing.

I am not an #ownvoices reader and hence please consider checking out #ownvoices reviews as well. It was so vividly described that I was properly immersed and invested in all the fighting scenes.ДЄ beautiful, power book, Slay gave me so much Black panther vibes whether it be the messages, the characters, the technology world, I definitely recommend it! If you liked Warcross, you will definitely love the world of Slay.

Throughout Slay, we accompany on her journey of identity, getting meaningful insight into her thoughts on the issues Black people are facing, even more significant seeing how she tries to be unapologetic though the world is against her because of her race, and these stirred up so much anger, but admiration as well in me.ДЄpart from being such a powerful one in its message, Slay radiated power in the world-building of this book, that of the virtual reality the game Slay is set in. her relationships with her friends and family, especially the dynamics between her and her sister were all so wonderfully endearing. SheвЂ™s such a strong character, loving, passionate and fiesty, not afraid to bite back if anyone crosses her. It was especially explored through Kiera, our main character. It is a celebration of Black culture, and IвЂ™m heartened to hear that Slay resonated with many Black readers, and will be a place of solace for many more. Slay was such an eye-opening experience for me. All is well until because of a conflict, a gamer gets killed and the news goes viral, and Kiera has to grapple with keeping her identity a secret as well as dealing with how Slay is labelled as a вЂњracistвЂќ game. Slay follows Kiera, a high school student who developed the game Slay, a space for Black gamers, whom like herself have suffered under the racism widespread in the gaming world, and Slay becomes a community for Black gamers to take pride in who they are. Slay is not just a book yвЂ™all, itвЂ™s an experience. Complex characters were illuminated in both book and movie, their growth, their depth explored, just excellent characterisation of our main characters.Д¬heck out my review of The Alice Network if youвЂ™re curious! And The Alice Network also managed to do this through a juxtaposition of the lives of two women whose paths are interwoven as each goes on their own journey. But if youвЂ™re looking for a different type of historical fiction, one that still maintains the influence of a historical setting, but also is an action-packed rampage which is more super spy, revelations and revenge rather than dwelling on emotions, The Alice Network is for you.ДЄpart from the above mentioned, Black Widow for me was a story of identity, confrontation and empowerment.

I know of many whom have yet to dip their toes into the historical fiction genre because of the notion that all war novels are sentiment and are full of hope and enduranceвЂ¦ I love those kind of novels with all my heart, though yes I admit they may be cliche at times. Badass ladies? Spies? Revenge? Past secrets?Д«oth Black Widow and The Alice Network, revolving around a network of female spies during WW1 alternating with a mission of truth and revenge in the future, have all of the above.
