“I am going to keep on defying you. I am going to shame you with my defiance. You remind me that I am a mere mortal and you are a prince of Faerie. Well, let me remind you that means you have much to lose and I have nothing. You may win in the end, you may ensorcell me and hurt me and humiliate me, but I will make sure you lose everything I can take from you on the way down. I promise you this is the least of what I can do.”

This was such a good read! It was a new genre for me so it took me a fee chapters to actually get into it and enjoy it, but the author writes the characters well. Theres magic and myths and kings, and a little romance. Its a great place to start if youre interested in diving into a syfy/fantasy novel!

There is a second part to this one, so hopefully soon i’ll be able to continue the story.

Oh to be an old witch in a high fantasy book, who lives on the outskirts of town, and all to women look up too and all the ment ignore until they inevitably piss off there soulmate/true mate/soul bond/twin flame and come to me to help fix it because what is fantasy romance without an enemies to lovers plot that promises amazing grovel, only for the gravel to last two chapters and not make up X characters trauma.

I don’t have to worry about that though. I live in the woods as a witch whom men are weary of

Sword of the Seven Sins

by Emily Colin / 4 stars

This one was a slow start for me, and I also struggled with if I'd be able to finish just from how strict and extreme the world was for me. Babies were grown in test tubes, and any child natural born was treated as lesser, doomed to forever perform the lowliest tasks of the society. The parents were exiled or killed, which often was the same sentence. In the avoidance of sins, any indulgence or personal attachment was punished.

It was a society so wrong, you wondered how anyone would have thought it was a good idea, and been willing to follow it. But of course, people are always thinking their own thoughts behind their actions.

We shared POVs with Ari and Eva. Ari is a few years older, and is one of the top Bellators despite his youth. Eva is selected as a Bellator, the first girl to ever be invited. She progresses well, a little too well, and with Ari as her instructor, the two are forced together often, something they enjoy a little too much.

Secrets are revealed, discoveries made… Once the story got going, it was hard to put down. I am so ready for the Commonwealth to be brought down!!

I received an eARC through BookSirens and the author, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Luckily this was a published copy, so that means I don't have to wait for the next one!

The Lost Story By: Meg Shaffer

Published by: Random House Publication Date: 7/16/2024 Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. To start off this review: I have no idea why this was classified as women’s fiction. The woman character is, in my humble opinion, not who the story is about. She is more there to facilitate the story of the two male…

BOOK REVIEW: THE SILVER FOREST BOOK TWO (THE WANDERER) BY J.D. RASCH

RATING: 📚📚📚📚 We are back with book two in the Silver Forest series. These two books are definitely on my kids’ reading lists. This is an excellent way to read about right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, and what you believe vs. what you are being told. The author does a beautiful job encompassing that while keeping the story entertaining. Asmar is still on his quest to defeat Malzus and retrieve the…

The Monster King by Eve Langlais

5 stars

audiobook

That was wild! So many twists, every time one thing is revealed, things veer off into another unexpected direction. No wonder poor Ruby is so confused about what is what. It wasn’t complicated, it just had many layers to uncover, and most revealed things you didn’t see coming. Extremely happy with the way things wrapped up, and loved that little hint of what was going on with that loose end <3

Bookworm asks!

Favorite science fiction book(s).

I could ramble on about this one, but I'll try to restrain myself...

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy gets an honorable mention. After an unfortunate reading assignment in 5th grade that was a bunch of dark, dystopian sci-fi short stories, I'd developed a distaste for the genre. In my last year of high school a friend set out to convince me that there is whimsy to be found in science fiction, and this was the book that did the trick

So in that light, the kind of sci-fi stories I wish I'd read in 5th grade include: Sal & Gabi Break the Universe and Fortunately the Milk (is it sci-fi or is it fanstasy or is it both? I don't care)

That takes us to the sci-fi that crosses the line into fantasy. I love this sub-genre. Often it involves people having special powers that kind of lean into fantasy. Books like Liar City. Series like the Harmony books from Jayne Ann Krentz writing as Jayne Castle. And The Extraordinaries series by TJ Klune. These are close to my heart because much of my own original fic tends to fall into this category, and seeing these works get love encourages me. (And maybe your recent White Collar wing-fic falls into this category, dear asker?)

The other sci-fi that has captured my reading heart recently has been stories about robots/clones/constructs who navigate what it means to be autonomous while still functioning as a member of a human or animal society. These include the Monk & Robot stories by Becky Chambers, the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, and The Wild Robot by Peter Brown -- I've read just the first book in that series so far. Also Defekt by Nino Cipri delighted me with characters that seemed be clones or otherwise manufactured.

Thanks so much for the fun ask!

And if anyone has other book recs that fit into these categories I love, let me know!
