The Shadowlands series will be more than a duology it seems. There are many aspects which are popular these dayse days – time / portal travel, Scotland, fae, dragons, etc. I’m going to try not to redo First Light here and not do spoilers. This is a series best read in order. Carys lives in […]

The Dangerous Damsels series began this world with its witty, hilarious antics. The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love continues the tradition in a new series in the same world, Love’s Academic. It isn’t necessary to have read the previous books as they are not mentioned at all. Those books are so fun I wouldn’t miss […]

As usual, Stephanie Burgis has created a charming whimsical story. It took me a little bit to get into the characters. But Fabian / Felix was so kind and earnest, both Saskia and I appreciated him. His acceptance of the crows, trolls and goblins was endearing. Saskia seemed scattered at first. She took so much […]
I’ve really enjoyed the Emily Wilde series. Emily is the heart of the story and yet she is bookish and devoted to her study of the different Fae and their stories. She has strong opinions and has made some great friends particularly among the common fae. Now she comes with Wendell to his kingdom as […]
The Wraith King, the first book of the Rise of Northgall, is a romantasy that is more heavily invested in the romance than the fantasy. I think this is important to mention as I will let romances get away with some things that I would never let fantasy get away with. The Wraith King is sort […]
The Empyrean series continues and I’m not even going to try to avoid spoilers for previous books. The story and characters are highly entertaining and provide a dramatic, emotional tale. Violet and Xaden are special snowflakes but they have some admirable qualities and aren’t all about themselves. They are frantically about each other, however. Rather […]
