Tome Thursday: Burning Shadows

 

Hello everyone!

 

I have to say I've been extremely lucky in my blogging choices, because they've led me to where I am today, and where I am is that I'm on good terms with several pretty amazing authors, contemporary and fantasy alike, and that leads to some awesome collaborations.

 

This means I get fortunate enough to be sent an ARC of their works, which I can then review as soon as I end up finding the time.

 

Which I always do, and PRONTO.

 

Last year at some point, I was contacted by the lovely Hayley Reese Chow asking whether or not I'd be interested in reading her fantasy novel, Odriel's Heirs, and I mean ... fantasy, y'all. What else do you say but HECK YES?

 

I've since been waiting patiently on the sequel, and the truth of the matter is we aren't just getting a sequel, oh no, no, no.

 

There's a sequel novella AND the sequel!

 

So strap on those swords and come have a look at Burning Shadows with me, alright? Time to go kill some undead.

 

Tome Thursday: Shadow and Bone

 

Hello everyone!

 

Guess what, I'm actually more or less on time with this one.

 

Well, alright, not publication time, but I AM on time in terms of the fact that the Netflix show hasn't exactly been out for too long yet (which I still need to watch, actually) and I'm actually on point with the first book.

 

That's what I call a win!

 

Mostly. LOL.

 

I've read a book or two by Leigh Bardugo before, I think, and while I was okay with her writing style I was never into the whole Grishaverse thing that everyone else was raving about until I figured I might as well read the book before watching the show, as it made more sense to me.

And at that moment I also figured out some very important points, but I'll get to them later on in the review.

For the time being, let me just stop babbling and get straight into Shadow and Bone, alright?
