Her Impact Issue #0 Review!

Published February 1, 2018 by Shay Taree

I recently got contacted by some fabulous people to review an indie manga by the name of Her Impact. Since I’ve never read any indie manga before I decided to give it a shot.

Her Impact is about a African Japanese single mother by the name of Sadie “Amaya” Hiroshi who takes up boxing reviving her father legacy. The manga starts off with you reading a little bit about her backstory concerning her father and how great of a boxer he was while also giving you detail regarding the match where her parents met. It then takes you into present day with you learning about Sadie’s day to day life concerning her job and her family dynamic involving her son Aiden. While out buying her son a present for doing well in school she happens upon a young man who suggests she take up a boxing class.

To be honest while reading the manga I was a little confused on where it was headed. When it first started out with her talking about her father I was already interested to learn more about the Impact this had on her and her mom. I thought she would have already been involved in boxing and trying to live up to her fathers name. So when it went to present day and showed her at a desk job and then talking about her boss I was a little shocked. This isn’t to say that I didn’t enjoy learning about how she got into boxing I just would have thought it would have been saved for later in the story as a great backstory and also just a little bit shorter.

I did enjoy the character Sadie overall since I liked how she can switch up her personality depending on whom she’s around. She can be really sweet when talking to the clerk at the bookstore, confused when wondering what her son is reading, but also rough around the edges when pushed hard enough. I also love what you saw so far regarding her relationship with her son. Her son appears to be a good kid and also very smart.

I also really enjoyed the art style in this manga and it heavily reminded me of reading the boondocks comic strips as a kid. I also didn’t mind the sometime wordiness of this first chapter since that also gave me the boondocks vibe.

Overall I feel like this series can go so many different ways concerning the storyline that I can’t wait to see how it happens and what path the author decided to take. I also wanna say thank you to the individuals that contacted me about reading Her Impact as I had a great time reading the start of this series and I can’t wait to read more.

I Hate Everyone But You Book Review!

Published January 30, 2018 by Shay Taree

I recently finished another book and this time it was written by two ladies that previously worked for buzzfeed and now have their own YouTube channel. These lovely young ladies are Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin.

I had heard about their book through other booktubers so on my next trip to Barnes & noble I decided to buy it and give it a shot. Before reading the book though it had been suggested to check out their YouTube channel first so that you could understand their humor which obviously will help you understand the humor in the book.

After spending almost an entire day watching their various skits on their channel I finally decided to start reading their book and I was pleasantly surprised.

The book is written in the format of emails and text messages between two friends named Ava and Gen. It takes place during their first semester of their first year of college and how they are handling being apart from each other. It also shows the trials and tribulations that they each go through regarding their individual college experiences.

The character Gen definitely has the personality of Gaby Dunn and Ava is definitely Allison. The book had me hooked from the very beginning and I couldn’t wait to see what happened not only in each of the individuals lives but also regarding their relationship with each other.

The book writing style was very reminiscent of another series I read before which was titled TTYL so it was very easy for me to get used to get used to the writing style. The only downside regarding this though is that you don’t feel as attached to the characters since you don’t really know their backstory.

But overall it was definitely a quick and easy read. So if your looking for something that you can easily pick up and read but will also have you hooked I recommend reading this book. Also please be warned that some of the material in the book is on the mature side since there are discussions of substance use and also of sexuality. So if that kind of talk makes you feel uneasy or if your parents don’t like you reading books with that kind of material then I suggest not reading this book.

If you have read this book comment down below and let me know what you thought of it. If you haven’t read it then also comment down below and let me know if this is something that you may read. Also feel free to comment below any suggestions of books that I should read.

Six Of Crows & Crooked Kingdom Book Review!

Published January 26, 2018 by Shay Taree

Over the past few weeks I had been hearing about a duology by Leigh Bardugo about 6 thieves who go on a heist and then about the aftermath of that heist. They seemed like some wonderful books so I decided to check them out and let’s just say that I was pleasantly surprised.

When the books start out you meet the main character by the name of Kaz and he puts together a crew of individuals to help him on an almost impossible task to rescue a gentleman from an impossible place. Kaz is a thief and a swindler himself and this task will make him and his crew a lot of money.

In both books you witness how smart and cunning Kaz is and also how each person of his crew serves a unique purpose. You also fall in love with each of the characters and there are a few romances along the way.

This was a wonderful duology that had you immersed in this world of fantasy and adventure from the very beginning and one thing I really loved was that each chapter was told from a different characters point of view that was apart of Kaz’s crew. You also learn about each member of the crews past and how they came to meet Kaz.

This is definitely a set of books that you should check out and read and you won’t be able to put these books down until you finish it.

I purchased my set of books from Barnes and Nobles but you can also purchase an ebook versions of these books also.

If you have read these books comment down below on what you thought of them and if you haven’t let me know if this sounds like something that you made read.
