10 books I NEED to read before the end of the year 📚 | 10 before the end TBR 💕

The first book was truly so good. It was a lot grittier than I expected for something that was categorized as YA. The writing is beautiful.

But when I read Golden Sun, the second book, I absolutely loved it. It felt like a complete different world and series. The politics were just so much stronger.

And yeah, although I found the writing to be quite good, the first 100 pages of Red Rising truly gripped me. Like, I was absolutely loving it. The middle and the end of Red Rising were just honestly boring to me.

This is just such a fun YA fantasy trilogy. It truly gives you all of those nostalgic YA dystopian fantasy vibes, but in a refreshing way, in a sense where it doesn't feel just completely copy and paste.

First book was one of my favorite reads of last year and hopefully the second book will be one of my favorite reads of this year.
