All fantasy reviews

  • There was another chapter of pure flashback which I couldn’t quote from. So I included an extra chapter of House of Night here. It does mean that the next post will be the final chapter analysis post for the book though. Then there will be a full review after, like always. If you would like…

  • So you know how I said that I wasn’t getting the horror vibe in House of Night? Yeah, it definitely came back in a big way, that’s why this post is late. Had to sit with that one for a hot minute. If you would like to read this book to fill in the gaps,…

  • Just in case it wasn’t glaringly obvious yesterday, I was having a REALLY low motivation day. I still want to do the bingo though, so let me know if you have any tile ideas. After the next book is finished, I am going to ease back a day or two of posting. Posting every day…

  • I have to say, House of Night is definitely a different kind of vibe than what I have read before. Not entirely, there are some familiar themes starting to come in, but the overarching themes of horror and violence are different. It gives the text a little extra bite, but also means there is less…

  • Okay so now that I’ve done a little check in, how are we all feeling? I’ve had some really great responses to the questions asked over on Instagram (@the_bookish_mumma). This has given me some insight into what some people want to see from me going forward and how to best interact with you. If there…

  • Now that I have taken a break from fantasy romance, time to dive back in with a relatively new and upcoming author, Celia Aaron! Her book, House of Night, was given to me as an ARC by The Nerd Fam and I always love getting them, The Nerd Fam is like my bookish fairy godmother…

  • Shaedes of Power follows the story of Opal, a faerie with unrealised power and an unusual appearance for the fae. We follow her as she stumbles into what she and the other faeries of the Shaede Court believe is the most dangerous place in their realm – The Shadowlands. Instead of finding harm, she finds…

  • The first 4 chapters of Shaedes of Power was really exciting for me to read, though these ones were less so. I am very much hoping that the story picks up after now that a major plot point has taken place. If you would like to read the previous chapters or books, you can find…

  • I cannot tell you how excited I am for this! This is my first ARC (Advanced Reader Copy). To be able to read and review it before the general population gets to is a new kind of exhilarating. Fortunately, you won’t have to wait long to read it, though, because it comes out on March…

  • I am sitting back in my desk chair currently, at a loss of where to start. The ending of Red Queen was fast. I didn’t really have time to think and process what was happening as it was happening. Surely that is the sign of something great, but here is my final comments. https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5182198842395474 The…
