Review: The Solstice Kings by Kim Fielding
Rating: 3.25🌈 I was excited to see a book by Kim Fielding published by Tin Box Press, which meant I would be able to read and review it. Unfortunately, this fantasy tale is a bit of a mixed bag. There’s so many potentially interesting elements here, ranging from the main character’s adopted family and it’s… Continue reading Review: The Solstice Kings by Kim Fielding
Review: When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain (The Singing Hills Cycle #2) by Nghi Vo
Rating: 4.5🌈 “THE TAVERN WAS LITTLE more than a waxed canvas tent, tilted towards the south by the wind that rushed headlong down the mountain. The woman who tended the makeshift bar had a thin wispy mustache styled into pointed wings over her lip, and Chih took down her family history while the mammoth scouts… Continue reading Review: When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain (The Singing Hills Cycle #2) by Nghi Vo
Review: The Heart’s Blood (San Amaro Investigations#5) by Kai Butler
Rating: 5🌈 The Heart’s Blood hits every marker, nails and surpasses all expectations I have for the characters, the storylines , and the journey Butler is taking us on. It’s a superlative narrative smorgasbord where Butler’s characters get to demonstrate genuine personal growth and maturity, often at huge emotional and physical cost. The imaginative series… Continue reading Review: The Heart’s Blood (San Amaro Investigations#5) by Kai Butler
Review: Oathbreaker (Fallen Messenger #4) Ann Marie Salinger
Rating: 4.5🌈 Due to the complexity of Salinger’s world building and expanding cast of characters, I always need a bit of a review before diving back into this series. But it’s so worthwhile because the author has created a grand tale of war between good and evil beings, one that has been fought before, and… Continue reading Review: Oathbreaker (Fallen Messenger #4) Ann Marie Salinger

Review: Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion ) by Jennifer Cody
Rating: 4.75🌈 I love this introduction to a new author and a universe who’s fabric is exquisitely complicated, rich with the mythologies of a multitude of cultures and nations, as well as one that has the ability to expand through portals to endless worlds as the investigations require. Jennifer Cody’s Hammer and Fist, as the… Continue reading Review: Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion ) by Jennifer Cody
Review: The Prince’s Poisoned Vow (Infernal Wars #1) by Hailey Turner
Rating: 3.5🌈 I’ve been eagerly anticipating this story as this author’s previous series have been enormous hits with me. But almost immediately I was struggling to finish this book which was written in a different format from the author’s books. In a nutshell, it’s wordy, dry, very dense, narratively overwhelming with too many characters. And,… Continue reading Review: The Prince’s Poisoned Vow (Infernal Wars #1) by Hailey Turner
Review: The Chosen One Universe: Vol Two by Macy Blake
Rating: 4.75🌈 The second volume of Chosen One books is where I realized they weren’t being grouped according to series but in a reading order. Series broken up and interspersed with each other, along with single stories, to give the overall Chosen One plot arc a flow with the characters, relationships, and events as they… Continue reading Review: The Chosen One Universe: Vol Two by Macy Blake

I’ve been sitting here thinking about the story, all the incredibly imaginative elements, and wide range of engaging characters that Hand of Glory alone showcases. It’s made me realize, not for the first time, how limiting our rating… Continue reading Review: Hand of Glory (Arcane Hearts #5) by Nazri Noor
