My Thoughts on Glint (The Plated Prisoner Series, Book 2) by Raven Kennedy
immediately following the events of Gild, so spoiler warning for that book. Auren has been taken by the Fourth's Army, where she is being held captive by Commander Rip and being taken back to Midas so the two kings can come to some sort of agreement. Going into the book I was curious how this one would go especially since it doesn't have the same warnings as the first book. Which I hoped was a good thing, because I really didn't like some of those elements in the first book. But was still drawn in enough by the story, I wanted to see where it would continue with the rest of the series.…
View PostMy Thoughts on Gild (The Plated Prisoner Series, Book 1) by Raven Kennedy
Gild is a reimaging of the King Midas myth, the individual who can turn anything to gold with the touch of his hand. The Plated Prisoner series is told from the perspective of Auren, who has been turned into gold from her hair, skin, eyes, etc. Everything about her is gold even down to the two dozen ribbons that come out of her back. She is the prized possession of King Midas and locked away in a gilded cage where no one, so no one but him can touch her. The story takes place ten years after she was locked away in the cage, where she finds herself on the other side of the cage where there's no protection for the first time.…
View PostMy Thoughts on The Savage and The Swan (Fated Fae, Book 1) by Ella Fields
The Savage and The Swan by Ella Fields is loosely inspired by Hades and Persephone, Rumpelstiltskin, and The Swan Princess. There are elements of each tale woven throughout the book while telling its own unique tale of the King of Wolves, Dade, and the Swan, Opal. This is a standalone romantic fantasy novel, and the first book by Ella Fields I have ever read. I didn't know too many details before going into this book, other than seeing a mention of it on BookTok that it fell into the enemies to lovers trope.…
View PostMy Thoughts on A Dance with the Fae Prince (Married to Magic, Book 2) by Elise Kova
I loved A Deal with the Elf King which was the first book in this "series". Each book is technically standalone but they all happen in the same universe, roughly around the same time. A Dance with the Fae Prince was inspired by Psyche and Eros as well as Cinderella. While I didn't exactly see the Psyche and Eros theme while reading the book, you definitely get the Cinderella vibes. A girl whose father marries someone before dying an untimely death, only for the stepmother and sister to treat her like a servant before she is "rescued" by a prince. Only there's more to the tale than that.…
View PostMy Thoughts on Moon Touched (Zodiac Wolves: The Lost Pack, Book 1) by Elizabeth Briggs
I first saw Moon Touched by Elizabeth Briggs on TikTok. Someone shared a quote from the book and I was like "ok that looks interesting" so I decided to check it out. Not really having much to go on other than that one quote. And after reading the summary on Amazon, I decided to read the book on Kindle. This is the first book in the Zodiac Wolves: The Lost Pack triology. And so far, it's the only book of the series released with the next one coming out in November. Normally, I shelve those books until the full series is released. But I couldn't resist starting this one.…
View PostBooks I Got During the Barnes & Noble Book Haul
Barnes & Noble recently did their book haul where it was Buy One Get One 50% Off, and well after several months of not buying any books and working on reading through everything unread on my bookshelves (not that I finished) I got some books. So, I thought I'd share what I all got with you guys. Especially since I haven't gotten around to reading in the last two weeks.…
View PostMy Thoughts on A Curse So Dark And Lonely (The Cursebreaker Series, Book 1) by Brigid Kemmerer
I love a retelling of a classic tale. Especially of Beauty and the Beast, so when I learned of A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer it found its way onto my bookshelves. Though it's taken me a few months to getting around to reading it. As I have many books awaiting my attention. Plus, I was a bit nervous to read it. I kind of kept thinking "what if it's like A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas" that was another retelling of this tale. Well, the two books are extremely different. And I'm glad about that. This one feels more like Beauty and the Beast without some other story (Hades and Persephone) being intertwined with it. While this one goes off in its own direction from the original tale, it still stays true in some regards to it, while still telling a compelling story of its own.…
View PostMy Thoughts on Neon Gods: Modern Retelling of Hades and Persephone (Dark Olympus Book 1) by Katee Robert
I love a retelling of Hades and Persephone. I've read quite a few, and I wasn't quite ready to return to YA Fantasy or NA Fantasy books quite yet. So, I decided to read Neon Gods by Katee Robert. This book tells the tale of Hades and Persephone with a modern lens where they are not gods or goddesses, but rather the name is a title. This book is the first book in the Dark Olympus universe. Each book focuses on different characters in the world with the next book focusing on Psyche and Eros.…
