Michael J. Sullivan (MJS) is one of my favorite epic fantasy writers. He is dependable, great at tying threads together and always gives his reader something a little unexpected. Age of Legend is the fourth book in the the Legends of the First Empire series. This is technically a prequel set thousands of years before […]
Instead of being a new couple, Thornbound continues with the same couple and family from Snowspelled and follows it by a few months in timeframe. Cassandra and her husband are trying to make their lives and dreams come true. Of course, they don’t know each other completely or what the other wants yet. They are […]
I was VERY excited to get Snowspelled on Audio because the author had offered me the ebook to review when I was first starting this blog and I just couldn’t do it at the time. But I wanted it. When I started listening, it was a prequel novella and I thought, ok. But it was […]
I really enjoyed Kill the Queen last year and was very excited to read more. I’ve had Protect the Prince for a few months and finally read it. I hoped for a romantic background to the action but it was mostly angst. The gist is assassination attempt, political bs, assassination attempt, political frustration, assassination attempt, […]

The premise of Westside sounded fascinating and I was very excited to read it. I like historical fantasy with a mystery. Actually I like mystery, period. Somehow, even though this had all the parts I should like, it wasn’t for me. The beginning had the detailed world-building which gave me a bit of first book […]
Victoria Schwab has a very creative mind and builds on some really interesting premises, like; what if there was a library of sorts for dead people, where the bodies/records are kept on shelves asleep and what if sometimes those bodies get up and try to get back out into the world? See, very interesting premise. […]
Read It, Rate It and Record A short review to update challenges Robin recommended this His Fair Assassin series to me for assassins and she also just reviewed Courting Darkness, which is the first in the related series. I loved Grave Mercy and Dark Triumph which I was able to get at my […]
I really loved this! It has typical 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 if […]
