Tome Thursday: Lily & Thorne

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to this week's book of choice.

 

Now if you've been following me for a bit, you might remember that this title seems familiar to some extent.

 

Perhaps you're thinking: have I seen this before?

 

Have you?

 

Well, turns out, you have!

 

Originally published as part of an anthology, this particular novella got expanded upon, rewritten, and re-published!

 

And, because I'm a good soul like that - and also, because Rhi Hargadon is an absolute ANGEL - I'm here to write a quick review about this new version of the tale.

 

Without further ado: Lily & Thorne!

 

Tome Thursday: Heart of Faelithia

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to the next installment in our book reviews saga here on the blog.

 

I have some really fantastical books to talk about this month - and for the next few months, actually, because I just looked at my list and I'm pretty much all squared for this little space for the next who knows how many days.

 

Life just happens while you're having fun reading, is all I'll say!

 

But tonight's book is a very lovely choice, and, conveniently, it JUST released out into the world.

 

Happy release, Magdalena Gavlasova! You really outdid yourself with this book.

 

I do know she has at least two more that you can read either concurrently or as prequels before this one, because they happen in the same expanded world, but tonight's choice was my entry into the universe she's crating, and that's what we'll be talking about.

 

So hold onto your butts, grab a comb, and make sure you look presentable, because we're headed into a world where beauty is everything and cheating isn't an option, in Heart of Faelithia!

 

Tome Thursday: Rise of the Fae King

 

Hello everyone!

 

Look at us going, making it almost all the way through January already.

 

However, 2025 has been ... a lot, already. And it's difficult to put into words the feelings that come along with such a realization.

 

I think that, if this is just the beginning, we better buckle up, because DAMN the year's going to be BRUTAL.

 

On the other hand, my copy of Onyx Storm is in the mail and on the way to me, so there's at least a spark of hope somewhere down the road.

 

In the meantime, I'm working my way backwards through my read pile, having finished most of these before the Christmas season started, and then I put them on the back burner to keep handy when I needed to write a review.

 

So we're going back to see some cute little dragons this time! They're actually cute, and called fliers, while they're at it. Make sure you don't call them anything else, and hop along through the Veil with me in Rise of the Fae King.

 

Tome Thursday: King of Tricksters

 

Hello everyone!

 

I return with a very readable book even as I mentally gear up to read something I've been putting off for ... well over a year now. 

 

Oh I have books like THAT, don't you worry about it.

 

But the one I'll be talking about tonight isn't one of them.

 

See, Booksirens is the amazing online service that connects reviewers and authors, and I for one always thoroughly enjoy the books I pick from there.

 

This one was no exception in the reading department, though I'll admit that it leaves a bit to be desired when it comes to plot points.

 

HOWEVER.

 

You can pretty much read it in one or two sittings, and it's just a duology, combined with the first one, so why not give it a go, right?

 

The conclusion gets all concluded in King of Tricksters.
