Some Deserving Demises Literal and Otherwise

All of Our Demise by Amanda Foody, Christine Lynn Herman

April 16, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

It took me a while to get into All of Our Demise; it’s part two of what’s basically the Tri-Wizard tournament mixed with the Hunger Games. There’s magic in this world, but the more powerful high magic is controlled by a select group. There are seven families, who once a generation send a champion into a tournament from which only the winner emerges alive, and whoever said winner represents gets to control the high magic for the next generation. In the second volume, the first […]

I don’t understand how a book can end without an ending

All of Us Villians by Amanda Foody, Christine Lynn Herman

September 12, 2022 by Mobius_Walker 1 Comment

BINGO – Dough (because one of the authors last name is Foody and the characters deal with classism throughout the book) Let’s just get this out of the way. This book was not for me. Every 20 years, the Blood Veil falls and 7 teenagers fight to the death in a tournament to determine which family will control High Magick in Ilvernath. Common magick is, well, common enough for small fixes in everyday life, but high magick is where the real power is. For centuries, […]
