July is my annual re-read month and this year I managed to make every book a re-read (last year I had a challenge where I had to read at least one new author every month so it wasn’t possible to have a month of only re-reads). As a result I enjoyed almost every book I read which means I have a very high average rating for the month.
The Count of Monte Cristo
Alexandre Dumas
Vintage
1462 pages
5/5
As of the time of writing this review, it has been five days since I finished The Count of Monte Cristo and I’m only just getting around to writing this review.
Not because it’s going to be a hard review to write. I’m just being incredibly lazy.

Malice
John Gwynne
The Faithful and the Fallen #1
Tor
628 pages
5/5
I first read The Faithful and the Fallen back in 2017 and I had fully intended to write a series review much like I did for The Greatcoats. Unfortunately, when I was halfway through the final book, I got a stinking sinus infection and then I went on holiday so I never got around to writing it. What was 2017 Jennifer’s loss is 2020 Jennifer’s gain so now I get to write four separate reviews.
This idea just came to me while I was reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows so it’s probably going to be a little incoherent and rambling but it’s just something that I can’t quite get off my mind.
Do characters in books need to die?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
J. K. Rowling
Harry Potter #7
Bloomsbury
607 pages
3/5
All I kept thinking about, through all 607 pages of this book was…
At least it’s not as bad as the Half Blood Prince.

Ashes of the Sun
Django Wexler
Burningblade & Silvereye #1
Head of Zeus
3.5/5
Copy received from Netgalley. All thoughts are my own.
June hasn’t been the greatest of reading months. The amount of simply average or just down right awful books I have read in this month, at the time of writing has seriously outweighed the good.
Ashes of the Sun definitely falls into the average category.

The Angel of the Crows
Katherine Addison
Solaris
448 pages
3/5
The Goblin Emperor was a wonderfully charming read with a very sweet protagonist and an engaging plot which made me smile from beginning to end. It was a book I very much enjoyed. The Angel of the Crows is a very different animal.

Here, have some mini reviews. Don’t say I don’t give you anything.
