Note: This is the sequel to Flame in the Mist, which you can find my review here. It is also the conclusion of this duology, so this review will have slight spoilers! You can also find Jeann’s review for book 1 over here. Want to check out graphics I made for this series, as well […]
Set against the staggering desert landscape of Ancient Arabia, We Hunt the Flame is a story about a dark Prince and a Huntress dressed as a man uncovering a legendary artifact to release magic into their world. Written by an #ownvoices author, it was everything I wanted out of a story set in Arabia. Following the […]
Descendant of the Crane draws concepts from East-Asian culture (specifically, Chinese!), which immediately made this at the top of my TBR list. Unfortunately, my hopes were probably too high, as I found the story dragging on and on, and was indifferent to Hesina’s struggles and journey. Although Descendant of the Crane has stunning narrative and […]
The Tiger at Midnight immediately caught my attention with its gorgeous cover. Before I knew it, the writing sucked me in, and after I got to meet the characters, I was thoroughly ensnared in its pages. This Indian-inspired fantasy is full of deceit, secrets, and a game of chase between two morally gray characters. It’s […]
After reading and loving Reign the Earth last year, which focused on female strength against domestic abuse, I was heavily anticipating Imprison the Sky as a follow up. Upon picking it up however, I found it was a very different story to Reign the Earth, both in tone and subject matter – and I definitely preferred the former. It’s […]
The Sisters of the Winter Wood is a quiet, captivating tale that follows the growth of two sisters – vastly different from one another – and the secret power that their heritage has passed onto them. I really enjoyed this adult fantasy, and would really recommend it for readers looking for a magical escape into […]
I cannot believe it took me so long to read The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. I’ve seen so many rave reviews of it and Aentee @ Read at Midnight even tried to push me to read it by literally sending me her copy back in 2016. Better late than never though! I ended up listening […]
At over 800 pages, The Priory of the Orange Tree is quite an undertaking – both as a reader, and as a writer. But as a female focused epic fantasy with dragon mythology and a rich world inspired by our own, how could you not be curious? I recently wrote a post about why I was […]
I adored Spooner’s previous stand-alone book, Hunted (you can find my review here!), but Sherwood fell a bit flat. I wish I liked it more, but for every good thing about it, there were two disappointing aspects. Honestly, reading this book had its ups and downs. Sometimes I would be hesitantly surprised at how something came […]
