Don’t let anyone tell you what to like — especially when it comes to banned books. Read what they’re scared of 🔥
Don’t let anyone tell you what to like, because it’s your time, your taste, your rules. Be yourself, rebellion looks good on you!

It boggles my mind! These are books that I read as a teenager in high school and college. I cried at some of the emotions they evoked. They made me think … and THAT my friends is what they are afraid of….

Reading is so versatile, and so is my mood. One day I want to wear a gown and deal with finicky kings, the next I want to be at the beach in a cute little town, but then I end up fighting off dragons at night. ✨⚔️❤️

3.5/4✨ I read the book & listened to the audio for this one. Overall this book was entertaining. Some lines were also good zingers !! Swipe to see 😗😬

The main premise was supposed to revolve around academia. Honestly, it was more royal family causing havoc, with a secret band of magicians wielding tarot cards trying to defeat them. Most of the story happens in locations other than the school rooms, and we don’t really experience much of that setting. Don’t get me wrong the intrigue was good & the plot didn’t really have holes. I genuinely was curious to figure out what happened to Clara’s mom & sister. I didn’t expect the little truth bomb & I failed at guessing what happened to her family. The magical system with the Tarot Cards was different & creative.
I struggled with the big time jumps & gaps. The Trials left me wanting more, I kept expecting a showdown.
- Prince Kaelis was the dark, brooding, surprise hero I didn’t expect. Depicted as a villain-the result of a tyrant father & evil brother. I actually felt bad for him when he was being embraced by Clara & she wondered how long it had been since someone touched him or showed him affection.
- Clara was irritating at times with her closed off mindset. She seemed oblivious & naive in how difficult things would be. I appreciate that she was strong willed, had a forceful character & personality, but then it came off in the wrong way, sometimes even selfish when it came to Kaelis.
