Micheal J. Sullivan has created a world I just cannot get enough of. Nolyn is the first book in the new The Rise and Fall trilogy. It is actually the 13th full length novel set in the fantastic Fantasy world of Elan with stories spanning millennia. While this is a new series and supposed to […]
I am a fan of this author, but I am not a gamer. Questland is a gamer fantasy with plenty of nods to different pantheons like Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings and many, many more. I am certain I missed several references because I am not familiar with them. Our point of view […]
The Promised Queen is the last book in The Forgotten Empires Trilogy. We have come a long way with Conrí, former Crown Prince of Oriel, and Queen Euthalia of Calanthe. It is very hard to go into even vague parts of this book without spoiling the first two. They are an unlikely pair who come […]
The Empire’s Ruin is the first book in The Ashes of the Unhewn Throne series set about five years after all the events in the parent series the Chronical of the Unhewn Throne. I was on the fence about if I wanted to jump into this series. The reason, I loved the first two books […]
The Women’s War series has the usual historical fantasy world where women have almost no choices. Their primary worth is to bear an heir for men in the patriarchal society. Men control the magic. Men can also choose to send women to a whorehouse for the “unwanted.” This includes wives who can’t have children, or […]
I loved the Crown of Shards trilogy. As with any urban fantasy or even other types of series, I prefer to read in order and have the full world building and character backgrounds. The Gargoyle Queen is a continuation, but a full 16 years later. Gemma Ripley is now grown. However, Gemma still has fears […]
City of Iron and Dust is a standalone fantasy novel that follows around different individuals in a city on the verge of a revolution. The Goblins have been in power and entrapped many Fae in an Iron City for so long the younger generation doesn’t remember or have any magic. The once nearly immortal Fae […]
It has been a long while since I’ve been in the world of The Order (Jan 2018 to be exact). I was a bit worried I wasn’t going to remember everything, since it has been so long. But, it didn’t take me long to get back into the story (though I did reread my previous […]
If fantastical dragon species lived in England during the time of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, wouldn’t it be thrilling to see how that would change Regency life and society especially for the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet and the taciturn Fitzwilliam Darcy? I was well-pleased to take up this book by a new to me author […]
Artificial Jelly was a bit of a surprise for me. When the main character was described as Jellyfae I sort of assumed some things that were completely wrong. Like this was a fantasy story set in Faery. It isn’t, that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy myself. I definitely did, but I think this falls more […]
