Review: The Bleeding Stone (The Spellbinders and the Gunslingers #1) by Joseph John Lee
This is a fantasy novel that is different from typical fantasy novels in all the good ways. It is fascinating, heartbreakingly emotional, exciting, political, and a solidly great book! It will take a reader on a ride while at the same time making them reflect on some of the choices they might personally make in their own lives. It is one that I know will make me think about it for many days into the future.
BOOK TOUR/REVIEW: The Last Ranger (Ranger of the Titan Wilds #1) by J.D.L. Rosell
If you want an action packed adventure with strong female characters, mysterious giants of nature, fascinating world-building with a dash of political intrigue and ARCHERY! look no further. J.D.L. Rosell has made a fan out of me and I can’t wait for book two.
Review: The Last Ranger (Ranger of the Titan Wilds #1) by J.D.L. Rosell
A beautiful world filled with beautiful characters. The Titan Wilds became a place so familiar because of my love of nature and forests but had that excellent fantasy element to make it something truly unique. The author does an excellent job of showing this world from the early get go, allowing it to become almost an essential character of this series. It was exciting and breath taking at the scope that the author was able to show.
ARC REVIEW: No Heart For A Thief (Malitu #1) by James Lloyd Dulin
No Heart For A Thief sneaked in at the last minute and stole its way into my favorite reads of 2022. I have been waiting for a book to show up and sweep me off my feet for quite some time and James Lloyd Dulin delivered on that perfectly. This is the kind of book that will remind you why you love fantasy in the first place.
Review: Bone Shroud (Kallatian Saga #2) by Andrew D Meredith
Amazing. Incredible. Jaw dropping. All terms that can be used to describe this novel and yet at the same time they do not do it justice. The author does a fantastic job of enriching the world in every way imaginable, as I often say, every grain of sand has been meticulously placed with the utmost care. The intrigue, the characters, the world are all enhanced in every single way. The pace is definitely ramped up, creating a dynamic that will force the reader to begin to choose sides.
Review: Wolfeater (Tale of the Grey Crow) by Anthony Mitchell
This is a novel that most fantasy readers will fall in love with. The world is incredible but also very real. There is not a heavy dose of magic, but what is mentioned is also a tease of what else could be. Prepare the supplies, grab the blankets and protect yourself from the cold with a great read that will keep you glued to the pages even after the end has been reached. Highly recommended!!
Review: Phased by Victoria Tecken
Phased is a great take of an Urban Fantasy, focusing on the mental strains of werewolf sisters. The world is well thought out, allowing for a dynamic between the characters that allows it to be fresh and interesting. It was great to read a werewolf story that was not primarily focused on a love triangle or other similar trope. The focus of the book is on the mental strain of the characters, with a variety of different takes on something that has a lot of meaning to all of us. The emotions of the characters play a prominent role and are well thought out in each scene.
Review: Curse of the Fallen (Fallen Light #1) by H.C. Newell
This book will cater to many different types of readers. Dark, adventurous, and characters to root for all add up to one amazing read. It is also a book that allows for speculation and theories, causing me to think about the book for a long time. This is a series that holds a lot of promise, with sequels available to immediately dive into. Needless to say, I highly recommend this one for an exciting adventure that will stay with you for days to come.
