A Bright Heart by Kate Chenli
I saw LB’s review of this and thought it sounded intriguing enough asa premise that I bookmarked it so remember for later. I still need to read the second one in the duology but overall enjoyed this. I will say, I was trying to overcomplicate this one a little bit with my guessing so you know, this might be more enjoyable as a read to just let it happen. As Mingshin lays dying at the foot of the throne at the hand of the man […]
Sunbringer by Hannah Kanner
I will read the last book of the trilogy so I liked the novel and the series still, but in many ways, this had some of the common issues of a middle novel. After the ending of the previous book, our three human protagonists are separated- Kissen by circumstance, but Elo leaves Inara with Kissen’s friends for her protection while he tries to raise an army and start a revolution. Skedi and Inara are still together but still have emotional distance to resolve after Skedi […]
The Mask Falling by Samantha Shannon
The Dark Mirror by Samantha Shannon
Book 4: The Mask Falling Not sure why I didn’t write this one earlier in the year, since I wrote the reviews for books 1-3 fairly soon after reading. Maybe just too much of the same thing at once? This is the fourth novel of the series, and like the previous ones, this ends up expanding the world quite a bit, following Paige and Arcturus to Paris. Paige needed out of England after the last one, and she owes the organization for they help they […]
A Man for Mrs. Claus by Rebekah Weatherspoon
I needed to get into the holiday spirit, and A Man for Mrs. Claus by Rebekah Weatherspoon did the trick. Even though I’m recovering from surgery, I also wanted to read along with The Ripped Bodice LA fantasy book club. This was their December pick, and I was able to snag the Cover Snob special edition. This North Pole Santa-verse finds angels recruiting souls to bring holiday cheer. We meet Tiffany, aka Mrs. Claus, saying goodbye to her current Santa Claus husband. He’s moved on […]
Cold Magic by Kate Elliott
Cold Fire by Kate Elliott
Cold Steel by Kate Elliott
This review is for emmalita. I haven’t been writing reviews in months due to life reasons but I wanted to share with her how awesome I found this trilogy. Instead of writing her a bunch of texts, I decided it was time to write a review. Emmalita introduced me to Kate Elliott with The Keeper’s Six. Earlier this year I devoured Elliott’s’ The Witch Roads and it got me wanting to explore her back catalog so I got the audiobook version of Cold Magic, book one […]
Lost in the Future Vol 1: The Storm by Damian
Lost in the Future by Damian was beautifully illustrated by Àlex Fuentes. I discovered this at Forbidden Planet during a London trip this year. I unintentionally plan book crawls, sometimes with too ambitious goals, whenever I travel. I had about 5 minutes until they closed to pick something, and this is what I chose. During a field trip, a group of kids wanders off and falls down a hole. It’s giving Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole meets Adventure Time vibes. They discover it’s a portal and […]
