My Thoughts on The Ever King (The Ever Seas, Book 1) by LJ Andrews
The Ever King by LJ Andrews is the first novel in the Ever Seas series, a Broken Kingdom spin-off series that takes place twenty years after the events of Dance of Kings and Thieves (the sixth book in the Broken Kingdom series). It follows Erik Bloodsinger, the Ever King, as he attempts to retake the mantle that Valen won from the previous Ever King, and Livia, Valen and Elise Fergus' daughter. You do not need to read the Broken Kingdom series to understand what is happening in this book, but it does spoil a few things.…
View PostMy Thoughts on The War of Lost Hearts Series by Carissa Broadbent
The War of Lost Hearts by Carissa Broadbent is a trilogy which has been compared to Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Which is a series I absolutely loved, so I was a little nervous to read this series. Because either I was going to lose interest if it was too similar to Throne of Glass or would spend too much time comparing the two instead of enjoying it. But I thoroughly enjoyed the Nightborn Duet from Carissa Broadbent, so I decided to finally give this series as try. Instead of doing a review for each book I'm going to combine them in one. I'll try to avoid sharing too many spoilers, but I will be discussing the full series.…
View PostMy Thoughts on Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
I've been following Hannah Nicole Maehrer's Assistant to the Villain series on TikTok since it began, so I was thrilled to see it made into a book series. I expected it to be on the cozy side of fantasy rather than the epic side (lighthearted vs. in-depth). And, while I don't read a lot of cozy fantasy or rom-com books, I was ready to give this one a shot because I enjoy the TikTok series so much. I haven't done a thorough review in ages. Usually, I just offer my overall thoughts on the book and leave it at that. But I feel the need to break this book down more in order to share my opinions accurately.…
View PostWith These Last Breaths (Aisling Sea, Book 3) by Vanessa Rasanen
With These Last Breaths by Vanessa Rasanen is the final book in the Aisling Sea trilogy; however, not the final book in this world as this author plans on having a new series called Immortal Reveries that takes place in this world, which will be a collection of interconnected stand-alones. But it will take place beyond the Aisling Sea, as the conflict here has been resolved, and the main characters are setting out in different directions.…
View PostThoughts on the Dark Olympus Series by Katee Robert
I've done a review on the past on the first book in the Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert called Neon Gods, but I never got around to reviewing the rest. Or rather, giving full reviews as I gave mini-reviews during my monthly wrap-ups. So, I figured I might as well come back and do an review overall of the series. This series is a collection of standalone books, though there is an overarching plot that connects each of the books, that each are inspired by different Greek Mythology tales.…
View PostMy Thoughts on the Never After Series by Emily McIntire
I gave brief thoughts on each of the books during my monthly round-ups, but I thought I would discuss the four books released in the Never After Series by Emily McIntire in one post. I find these to be really interesting. Each book is standalone, so you don't have to read them in order for each of them to understand what's happening. They are fractured fairy tales, meaning they have references to the original stories but are not retellings by any means. They are also dark and feature mature and graphic content. So, there are trigger warnings (different ones) for each of the books.…
View PostLooking Back at the Books I Read in July 2023
This month felt like every book series had a release. Granted, that's not true as many more are releasing books next month that are on my TBR. Either way, there were a lot of things that I wanted to read. Some of them were definitely better than others, not to mention I also went on a massive hockey romance or rather college sport romance kick as I just couldn't commit myself to reading a new series while I was in the middle of packing up to move and arranging everything involved in that. …
View PostThoughts on A Game of Gods (Hades Saga, Book 3) by Scarlett St. Clair
A Game of Gods by Scarlett St. Clair is the final book in the Hades Sage, though it is not the final book in the Hades and Persephone series as the two series will merge in one final book. And while this book was the last from Hades side, it was not only told from his POV, we also got Theseus and Dionysius. Similar to the other books in this series, this book occurs at the same time as A Touch of Malice, see my reading guide for how to read these together.…
View PostMy Thoughts on A Soul of Ash and Blood (Blood and Ash, Book 5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
A Soul of Ash and Blood is the fifth installment of the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. However, while it might be the fifth installment, this book is basically a retelling of From Blood and Ash from Cas's POV. There are moments of the present sprinkled in, so it's not completely just a retelling, but usually those chapters are fairly short and serve as a transition when something else in From Blood and Ash didn't involve the two of them together. So, this isn't going to be a long review by any means as I don't have a lot of new things to talk about with this tale that I didn't already discuss when I reviewed From Blood and Ash.…
View PostLooking Back at the Books I Read in June 2023
I finally feel like I'm out of my reading slump. I've been reading a ton of books over on Kindle; two of which were ARC. I don't know if it's because a bunch of books that were on my TBR or in series I had already started came out this month or if the mood finally shifted. I know I have several more coming out in July, so we'll see if that continues. But I'm also in the middle of moving, so we'll see how much reading I actually get done.…
