Tome Thursday: An Heir Comes to Rise

 

Hello everyone!

 

After pretty much a month or two of just ARCs and books from BookSirens, I come to you with something a little different tonight.

I totally wanted to read more of the series before I started the blog posts but alas!

I needed a book for tonight. This was it.

If you enjoy books like the ones written by Sarah J Maas (who, coincidentally, I still need to finish one series from) then I am pretty sure you're going to LOVE this one.

It has unique world-building, likeable characters, and a pretty spread out array of them to start with.

And the character numbers just keep on growing as time goes by, too.

There are currently four books in the series, with at least one or two more planned based on all that I've read and heard, so you have PLENTY of time to hop on the bandwagon and join the rest of us!

 

C.C Peñaranda came up with something pretty unique in An Heir Comes to Rise. Why don't you go ahead and keep on reading?

Rings of Power: Adar

 

"If Sauron has indeed returned, the Southlands are but the beginning."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Alright, alright.

 

So I said initially I wasn't going to do this.

 

I changed my mind. I'm allowed!

 

And also, a few of my friends have said they'd really love to keep on reading these weekly dissertations of mine which are no more and no less than me just spinning yarn about my thoughts, really.

 

Which means here we are, and here we will stay until the season ends.

 

Last week may have been an introduction that blew hot and cold, but this week brought us something a little more tight in terms of writing, and some answers to the mysteries we're being introduced to.

 

Hopefully Prime continues in this vein, because we're headed to the halfway point of the season, so some answers are welcome!

 

The Rings of Power episode, Adar, at the very least gives us some of them.

Thank you, Ma'am. For everything.

Tome Thursday: The Maiden & The Unseen

 

Hello everyone!

 

Once again this week brings you another ARC from BookSirens, because I'm pretty much breezing through them on this end as I pick and choose what I enjoy and what is one of those things I'm not the biggest fan of.

 

Tonight's choice is no different.

 

I will say, though, that when I initially read the blurb for the book I was kind of expecting something else, though I don't inherently know why.

 

I'm pretty sure I just missed all the other signs before I read it LOL.

 

Don't get me wrong, it's an okay book, just not a book that I would usually find myself reaching for.

It does have one of my favourite mythological couples as it's focus point though, so it's not like I would have been mad either way.

Mythology, yo!

And The Maiden & The Unseen.

Rings of Power: Introduction

 

"Without a sword, what am I to be?"

 

Hello everyone!

 

So I would have done something else entirely for Tuesday's review if not for the fact that last Friday dawned bright and clear ... and brought us the premiere of what people have been both anticipating and dreading at the same time.

 

I don't plan on going into too much detail, as I might just wait for the season to conclude before I do so, but I couldn't say nothing. It's not an actual review of the two episodes, and I'll do a breakdown of the season as a whole after we wrap up.

 

However, I did want to share some of my initial thoughts because ... well, I have thoughts.

 

Who doesn't?

 

Considering the fact Amazon has literally turned off the reviewing option because of the reactions, and you have to ask yourself: is it because they just can't stand so many positives? Or are they afraid the house of cards will come tumbling down with all the negatives?

 

Your call.

 

But Rings of Power is here, whether we like it or not.

 

Saturday Snippet: Rings of Power Impressions

 

Thus far ... unconvinced. We proceed.

Tome Thursday: The Ocean Between Us

 

Hello everyone!

 

More books to be had, all around, especially if you're a member of BookSirens.

 

Which is where, naturally, I picked up tonight's choice.

 

Okay, I'll admit, it was initially the cover that got me, making me stick long enough to read the premise for the story, and once I did - and got some technical issues out of the way - there was nothing stopping me from devouring this book in two sittings.

 

Two sittings, one day, give or take. That's pretty good, right?

 

ANYWAY, this one is for Greek mythology lovers. So brush up on those skillz and polish that knowledge, because there's definitely going to be stuff in here that will tickle your fancy.

 

Plus on top of that, it's a bit of a mix-and-match with The Little Mermaid, so I mean, what's not to like?!?

 

Mermaids, princes, curses, Greek gods ... sounds like a regular ole Thursday.

 

Cate Rowan's The Ocean Between Us makes a splash!
