The Frozen Crown

Who’s Your Daddy

The Frozen Crown by Greta Kelly

January 24, 2023 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

I got The Frozen Crown on audiobook a while ago and only recently finished it. Not because it wasn’t good, I did like it, I think I’ve just been more interested in print books lately. Askia is the heir to the kingdom of Saravesh. Her kingdom is invaded by the ruler of the Roven Empire, Radovan, who wants her for her magic abilities. Magic abilities she has to keep hidden because of the Shazir, magic hunting priests and zealots killed her parents for plot reasons. […]

“He was a book, and he was holding his final pages, and he wanted to get to the end to find out how it went, and he didn’t want it to be over.”

The Raven King (The Raven Cycle, #4) by Maggie Stiefvater

December 31, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

This was a very good series and I’m glad I read it. This final book is all the more impressive, knowing how sick the author was when writing it. It read sort of like a fever dream, and this series was already very dreamy. I did think The Moment we were all waiting for was completely anti-climactic, and the Glendower resolution was disappointing, but for me this series was not really about those things, but hanging out with these characters in their world and watching […]

This ending made me love the series more.

The Golden Enclaves (The Scholomance, #3) by Naomi Novik

December 30, 2022 by narfna 5 Comments

This was such a great series, and this book a great ending to it. I feel like I was waiting for sure to say that until I finished this book, and now I can say with certainty that The Scholomance is worth reading. It all just comes together SO WELL. I was happy with the story on the surface, I was happy with the characters and their arcs, and I was happy with what is going on underneath. This one picks up exactly where we […]

“Blue was perfectly aware that it was possible to have a friendship that wasn’t all-encompassing, that wasn’t blinding, deafening, maddening, quickening. It was just that now that she’d had this kind, she didn’t want the other.”

Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Boys, #3) by Maggie Stiefvater

December 2, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

I’m mad at myself because I really liked this one but it’s been since early September that I read it so I kind of forget the specifics of why. I think the next time I read this series I will just read them all back to back and then tab all my favorite bits. Most of which will be about Ronan. Does this make me basic? I don’t care. Basic things are awesome. That’s why they are basic. Also, just the way this series is […]

A little disappointed in this one.

The Merciless Ones (Deathless, #2) by Namina Forna

October 3, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

I’ve been going back and forth, and then back and forth again over whether to round this up to four or down to three stars. I think I’m settling on three stars because the plot made my head swim, and not in a good way. No one but Deka, Ixa, and perhaps Britta get significant development, so I had very little incentive to actually remember who any of them were, which didn’t help with my confusion. This is very different from the first book, where […]

Another fight to the death book, pretty good.

All of Us Villains (All of Us Villains, #1) by Amanda Foody & Christine Lynn Herman

September 26, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

The end of this was messy, but overall I liked it. Really wishing for half-stars on this one. ELEVEN DAYS LATER: Okay, now that I’m actually sitting down to write this review, I’ve decided to round down on this one because the ending really killed my buzz. It was just so messy, I’m not even sure how to explain it. The premise here is that there is a town where every twenty years or so, there is a tournament, the family of the tournament winner […]

  • narfna on We are women without a voice…We are women out of time and place, without even the language of the country we reside in.Everything I hear about this makes me want to read it more. I've heard the audio is great, that's probably the route I'll go.
  • narfna on Because when women understand chemistry, they begin to understand how things work.The author hates the cover, too! I, like you, judged the book by the cover and was wrong. The British one is much better. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QJVdPaRWL.jpg...
