A little while ago  I reviewed book three of Island Book not realizing I had read book three until I was into it a bit. Of course, I said, well since there are holes in the plot I need to find one and two. And I did. And some things were cleared up and other things added. The big thing I noticed was that there is a lot of foreshadowing that you might not pick up if you are reading in order. The thing I […]

It’s time for me to FINNALY go all-in on some good old fashioned FAN TA SY. Normally, these are the sort of books that I pick up in the bookstore, give a “hmm” at the cover, and keep walking. I’ve never been great at immersing myself in fantasy worlds outside of the big-names; I just don’t have a memory for the complex lore and histories of most fantasy epics. When I open up a book and it starts with breakdowns of family names and maps […]

I listened to all the books in audio, as they are available as part of the Audible Plus catalogue. Considering that I already pay […]

Here there Be Dragons (fairies, human and rocks, too)

Dragon Kingdom of Wrenly V01 The Coldfire Curse by Jordan Quinn

Dragon Kingdom of Wrenly V02 Shadow Hills by Jordan Quinn

I like graphic novels and occasionally a cute, light read. When the two come from the same source you have a hit or miss if I will like it or not. No in-between. And this time we have a hit. The first book in the Dragon Kingdom of Wrenly is The Coldfire Curse. Jordan Quinn and Glass House Graphics created a book about dragons saving the day, their kingdom, the human kingdom and all the other kingdoms of this magical realm. The second book is […]

into the woods to see the troll, to meet the boy, to sell the girl, to trick the teens, to catch the murderer, to erase the memories, to exact revenge…

Back at it again with another Amazon Original Series! My brain is totally fried with year-end nonsense, but this series has given me nice little breaks while going about my day-to-day chores and adventures. I didn’t need any convincing to give this collection a “go”; I love a good fairytale retell or folklore restructure- no one will ever come close to Angela Carter, but I certainly won’t leave them out in the cold! The Prince and the Troll 3/5 I know that YOU know this, but […]
