Tome Thursday: Beneath the Gods' Tree

 

Hello everyone!

 

And welcome to the second book in a row which features living in a desert.

 

It looks like that's a bit of a trend when it comes to recent releases, or upcoming releases I suppose, and I can't say I'm upset about it.

 

There's always things to find more and more interesting the more you read books like this!

 

And tonight's choice is no exception.

 

After meeting an empire that rose after the world was left in shambles, we venture into a totally different fantasy situation today in a world that has nothing to do with our own.

 

It's just sort of ... worse? If that's even possible.

 

So I guess what I'm trying to say is, there's always more after rock bottom, even if you think there isn't.

 

S. Kaeth's book, Beneath the Gods' Tree, is well worth the read.

 

Tome Thursday: Alluring in Autumn

 

Hello everyone!

 

I almost forgot about the blog today. Oops.

 

I've been so busy trying to keep up with everything that's suddenly popped up now that spring's officially here that it's actually laughable how much I manage to forget, even though I make detailed lists.

 

At this point, my lists have lists!

 

But anyway.

 

Tonight's blog post is another fairy tale re-telling, which I went through a period of devouring everything I could possibly get my hands on for a bit.

 

I will say that I never really branched out too far from the popular favourites, however, so The Ugly Duckling is a story I recall only vaguely, and I kind of had to immerse myself in it again to fully be able to understand some of the nuances of this story. 

It's not necessary, however, that's just me being pedantic. This book can very well be read on its own! So why don't we have a look at it?

Alluring in Autumn - me wildly missing the seasons here - is up next.
