So much angst and pining and a big sabre-toothed snow cat (Double Cannonball!)

A Touch of Stone and Snow by Milla Vane

December 31, 2020 by Malin 2 Comments

Official book description (cause I haven’t finished the book yet): Danger lurks in the western realms. The Destroyer’s imminent return has sent the realms into turmoil as desperate citizens seek refuge—but there’s no safety to be found when demons and wraiths crawl out from the shadows. Even Koth, a northern island kingdom left untouched by the Destroyer a generation past, is besieged by terrors spawned from corrupt magics. When Lizzan leads the Kothan army against these terrors, only to see her soldiers massacred and to […]

Don’t insult a goddess in her own temple – gonna have a bad time

The Beast of Blackmoor by Milla Vane

December 30, 2020 by Malin 2 Comments

Mala, sent on a quest by the goddess Vela, comes to Blackmoor to locate and tam the legendary Beast. She initially believes the beast to be a demonically possessed mammoth that plagues the area and is surprised when she instead discovers that it is the warrior Tavik, who she first met protecting a caravan of refugees from blood-thirsty revenants. Tavik is pretty much a broken man, who once foolishly defiled a temple of Vela and now believes that everything that happened since then is divine […]

Enemies to lovers in a dark, pre-historic world

A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane

September 25, 2020 by Malin 3 Comments

Official book description: A generation past, the western realms were embroiled in endless war. Then the Destroyer came. From the blood and ashes he left behind, a tenuous alliance rose between the barbarian riders of Parsathe and the walled kingdoms of the south. That alliance is all that stands against the return of an ancient evil – until the barbarian king and queen are slain in an act of bloody betrayal.   Though forbidden by the alliance council to kill the corrupt king responsible for […]

Little Dragon

The Beast of Blackmoor by Milla Vane

July 17, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

The Beast of Blackmore is a quick bite of the Barbarian world Milla Vane is building in her A Gathering of Dragons series. I grew up on barbarians. Frank Frazetta’s fantasy barbarian art graced the walls of a surprising number of hippie owned shops and restaurants, and then came the Barbarian movies of the 1980s – Conan the Barbarian, The Beastmaster, Red Sonja, and a whole bunch of others that I watched many many times on HBO when I should have been doing my homework. […]

Never Have You Held Back Your Heart

A Touch of Stone and Snow by Milla Vane

June 21, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I dove into A Touch of Stone and Snow as soon as I finished A Heart of Blood and Ashes. Lizzan and Aerax grew up together on Koth and were sweathearts until Lizzan was exiled in shame for telling the truth about how the soldiers she led were killed. They meet up again years later. The goddess Vela tasks Lizzan with protecting Aerax and promises to reward her with a glorious death in battle. Lizzan does not tell Aerax the truth about her quest or her reward. Aerax […]

For Game of Throne Fans Who Got Tired of All the Rape and Wanted a Few Happy Endings

A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane

June 20, 2020 by Emmalita 2 Comments

Kayleigh Donaldson and Bree (Half of Kit Rocha) both recommended A Heart of Blood and Ashes last year and it became one of those books that I knew I would love but the thought of reading it just seemed exhausting. Why am I like this? I impulse bought it at the grocery store months ago and then stuffed it on my shelf where it languished. I saw the sequel on NetGalley and requested it even thought I doubted I would be approved. And then I was […]

  • Kit Moonstar on Yell if I can help dig some graves once you’re finished.Second that this is a fantastic read and the perfect sort of enemies to lovers romance. I could easily devour an entire novel about these...
  • Emmalita on Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: OwlizabethSam Irby would be a blast to hang out with.
  • Emmalita on It’s magic, you know, never believe it’s not so!This looks like so much fun.
  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.Thanks! And yes, this is not a Malin book. It's very very good but I think your parental instincts would give you some trouble.
  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.I still love that book! This one is just as well written but different aims, I think.
