It's so refreshing to read a story where the person who has to be saved is not the girl.
More girls who do the saving please and thank you.

Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
Some moments made me think:
Hey guys, don't you think escaping the dangerous situation might be a bit easier if you focused a bit less on each other and a bit more on the danger you are facing? No? Okay just keep on being wholesome then!
But all in all very sweet, intriguing and funny story.

A Bánh Mì for Two by Trinity Nguyen

4.0
This book is like a good Bánh Mì.
Romance as soft as the baguette, the backdrop of Sài Gòn, a city as full of flavors and spices as the seasoned meat and a flavorfull writing style with beautiful insights in the Vietnamese culture as fresh as the classic vegetables in a Bánh Mì.
And last but not least: let's not forget the pinch of grief.
The book was really well composed, the only criticism I have, is that the ending felt nearly as unsatisfying as going to Sài Gòn without trying streetfood. I would have just wished it was a bit longer, to establish a more concrete resolution.

This really proves that true friendship isn't dead. (Or is it?)
Definitely died laughing though.

Wow, the way a single technician talking about the trolley problem started the avalance that would end in the absolute crazy trainwreck that is the plot of Illuminae, just shows how beautifully this series is set up.
While not integral to understanding the rest of the story, definitely a nice addition for some more backstory.

Heart, Haunt, Havoc by Freydís Moon
Initial review: I don't know what kind of demonic magic the author put in this to make it this easy to speed through this book, but goddamn.
I found out about the authors appalling actions (I recommend just googling the name, there are a few very detailed articles) after I finished reading this book and therefore decided to not give it a rating.
Whelp I guess, I wasn't too far off with the demonic magic.... I will just take this as my sign to read more reviews before starting a book.
