I love the Fantasy genre. I love the escape from the daily doldrums (and my own mind) that fantasy provides and if you ask me there just isn’t enough magic in the world. I recently read C.L. Wilson’s The Winter King, a fantasy romance, where we have warring kingdoms, magic, and objects of great powerContinue reading “Book Review: The Winter King by C.L. Wilson”

Book Review: The Night and Its Moon by Piper CJ
My discovery of this brilliant author and her book occurred in a rather serendipitous way. Unbeknownst to me, I had been following the author on TikTok because I loved hearing her talk about folklore, a subject that interests me immensely. I happened to be flitting through TikTok one day and came across her live TikTokContinue reading “Book Review: The Night and Its Moon by Piper CJ”
Book Review: Shadows & Twilight (Book 4 of The Dragon Portal Series) by Jamie A. Waters
I have anxiously awaited this book since the Autumn of 2020 when I finished its predecessor. The best and my favorite part of a good series is the relationship the reader builds with the characters, the world, and even the author themselves, even if the reader never meets them.I didn’t realize how much I missedContinue reading “Book Review: Shadows & Twilight (Book 4 of The Dragon Portal Series) by Jamie A.

Book Review: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
A Court of Mist and Fury was a delightfully complex and carefully orchestrated chaos-of-a-sequel to A Court of Thorns and Roses. Feyre, no longer human faces some profound internal struggles with who she is and what comes next after her harrowing ordeal Under the Mountain.One thing I found particularly interesting was despite her apparent hatredContinue reading “Book Review: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J.

Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
After finishing the emotional rollercoaster that is the Throne of Glass series, being on a Sarah J. Maas high, I decided to dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses.In the Throne of Glass series, I absolutely loved Celaena/Aelin’s character, her swagger that covered a deep vulnerability made her so relatable. I loved Manon BlackbeakContinue reading “Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas”
Book Review: Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas
One of my favorite experiences as a reader is when I get to the point in my book or series when all the characters and storylines converge into those epic scenes, that for me, are the cherry on top of a great piece of writing. Think, The Battle of Helm’s Deep, or better yet, theContinue reading “Book Review: Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas”

Book Review: Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas
Now that I’ve finished this book, it pains me to say that I did NOT want to read this when I first learned that Celaena aka Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn Galathynius was not in it. I really believed that I didn’t want to read Chaol’s point of view, especially given the way the previous book, EmpireContinue reading “Book Review: Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas”
Book Review: Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas
One of my favorite things about being a voracious reader is finding an amazing series to get lost in. You know the type. You end up dreaming about the characters, the places, and even some of the events, and because you have become so immersed in the story because you have pictured it all soContinue reading “Book Review: Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas”
