ONE MILLION STARS TAKE THEM ALL 🌟 ⭐️ 🌟 ⭐️ 🌟
This is honestly the best debut novel I’ve read in such a long time. It was so creative. I absolutely loved it.
It’s standalone fantasy. New adult. Gives One Dark Widow, Caraval, Once Upon a Broken Heart vibes.
Plot: There is a divide in the world where the North has outlawed the Playhouse, a magical theater. Players are immortal, god-like beings that feed off the attention of mortals through their acts. They are ruthless and brutal and will manipulate the minds of mortals for their amusement. Due to a treaty, the Playhouse has not been seen in The North for 500 years. A treaty that is about to end… we follow Rivan a girl from the North.
Overall Rating: 5/5. This book will live rent free in my head. What an end.
TW: violence, death
Oh no! Pagebound has had a glitch and all your My Taste books have been replaced with the exact opposite. What (up to 5) books would be displayed to show who you aren’t as a reader? These aren’t necessarily your least favorites, but books that are the opposite of who you are as a reader. Books you would not be found reading because it’s not to your taste.
My Anti-Taste
- The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
- Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green
- The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
- The Shining by Stephen King
- Haunting Adeline by HD Carlton

I have really been loving vampires in books this year. Vampires in romantasy or as a surprise plot twist or as part of the world. Any and all vampire recs welcome 🧛♀️🖤
