White as Frost is the first book in The Darkwood trilogy which feels a little like a retelling of Snow White in some ways mixed in with magic and the fae. This is young adult and I say that because when I first started reading I thought Rose was a little older. In my head […]
Mr. Impossible is the second book in the Dreamer Trilogy a spin off series to The Raven Cycle. This is a series I would recommend reading the parent series first to really have an idea of what is going on. Ronan and his gift are such a complex idea that having all of the backstory […]
The spectacular covers and the audio narrators were what first drew my attention to Sands of Arawiya series by Hafsah Faizal. However, it is the vividly rendered world and compelling characters that make this YA Fantasy series so special. Ms. Faizal draws on the mythology of ancient Arabia as the backdrop to this duology, resulting […]
Over the years, I’ve enjoyed the Gracing Realm series by Kristin Cashore. Bitterblue in particular is a favorite character of mine throughout the series and so I was so happy to see that Winterkeep is another story that involves Bitterblue, years after she became the Queen. It is time to explore an entire new land […]
Across The Green Grass Field is the sixth book in the Wayward Children Series. Unlike the other books of this series, this one is completely a stand alone and can be read without reading the rest of the series. The Wayward Children series is prefaced on the idea that some of the children who don’t […]
The Grishaverse is the world Leigh Bardugo created for both The Shadow and Bone Trilogy and Six of Crows duology. This world is rumored to be coming to Netflix sometime soon. It is a world steeped in culture and history with stories a long list of saints the people believe in and pray to for […]
These reads were all audiobooks. Three were library books, the rest I purchased Rhythm of War really dropped my rate of reading since it is a massive 50+ hours of epicness. This is my all-time favorite Epic Fantasy series and no one does them better. Sanderson […]
Nickle Brickle’Bee is the first book of the In the Heart of Earthworks series. The cover looks a little crazy and that could be because there really is a chariot race involving hedgehogs, lizards, rabbits, rats and others small animals at one point in the story. Our story follows Nickle on his journey from the […]
I have considered the Unwind series, after becoming a fan of his Art of the Sycthe series. So I was thrilled to see a new release of the first book on audio available for review. Plus the narrator is the outstanding Luke Daniels. A friend had mentioned this was a tear-jerker so I was a […]
I’ve read a lot of romances and usually there is that area where you have to suspend your disbelief for the story to work. They all follow a pattern of sorts and most of us know that pattern like the back of our hand. It Only Happens in the Movies is a standalone novel which […]
