🎧 The Witch and the Tsar by Olesya Salnikova Gilmore @OlesyaAuthor #KatiaKapustin @AceRocBooks @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I enjoyed this sort of retelling of the story of Baba Yaga.  The Witch and the Tsar has the Russian mythology feel like books by Naomi Novik (Spinning Silver), and Katherine Arden (The Winternight Trilogy) and oddly, some of the folklore is even in the Robin LeFever’s Fair Assassins series.  Of course, this book has […]

🎧 The Other Side of the Sky by Amie Kaufman, Meagan Spooner @AmieKaufman @MeaganSpooner @MisterJMcClain @CaitlinDaviesNY @HarperAudio #LoveAudiobooks

This world’s peoples split about a thousand years ago.  Some went to live in the sky on city ships as big as islands, while the other people stayed on the land.  Much of that is covered by at least a little water with only a few dry and non-swampy parts.  North is a Prince of […]

The Heirs of Chicagoland  series continues with  the next generation in Chicago.   I am enjoying learning about them as individuals. They have various strengths and issues.  The characters are developed a bit more in each book. We see Elisa having more political skills to work with other species.  I’ve been enjoying the stories and it […]

This series is in the same world as the Night Huntress series. You can read the Night Prince series without reading the other, but I highly recommend reading Night Huntress first. Many previous characters come to visit Vlad and you can understand their relationships more if you have had the pleasure of reading the other first, but Night Prince can stand on its […]

Now we come to the final book in the Jane Yellowrock series.  The style of Final Heir felt very different to me. As usual, the point of view is Jane’s with her thoughts and where she is and what she sees.  Because she is now often in a more political role, directing things, and being […]

I don’t know what new I can say about how much I love this favorite author.   Every book in the  Hidden Legacy series has been such a joy to read. There is such a depth of character development and world building and HUMOR!  I would read the series in order. You don’t want to miss […]
