This series is so much fun! Book four had the most 'filler' vibe so far out of all of them, but it's set everything up really excitingly for the fifth and final book.
Water’s Wrath by Elise Kova | book review
young adult
Earth’s End by Elise Kova | book review
Another great instalment to this series - things have only become bigger and more serious (and more exciting!) I think this is also my favourite of the books so far. I really have nothing to complain about for this one.
Fire Falling by Elise Kova | book review
Okay, either I've been listening to the audiobook performance for long enough that I'm desensitised or miracles do happen, because this audiobook performance was so much better than for the first book.
Air Awakens by Elise Kova | book review
This was fun and more or less everything I expected it to be. I've been wanting to read this series for such a long time and finally managed to get my hands on it in the form of an audiobook.
The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst | book review
Well, Sarah Beth Durst certainly nailed the brief when she said she wanted to write a book that felt like drinking a hot chocolate. This book has to be the definition of cosy fantasy, and I loved every second of it.
Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove | book review
There is nothing more delightful than when an absurd-sounding plot is pulled off magnificently.
A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen | book review
This was so much fun! I feel like, before reading, I'd heard so many mixed reviews and went into it with reasonably low expectations. But I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros | book review
This was so much better than book two - what a relief!
The Spells We Cast by Jason June | book review
I wanted to love this more than I did, but I just felt that this was ultimately a bit 'meh'. It's a very fun (and funny) concept, bringing together some classic fantasy tropes with cowboy vibes, and the queerness is delightfully through the roof.
Dragon Rider by Taran Matharu | book review
This book was a slooww read - but by the end, I'm pleased that the hard work paid off. This took me quite some time to get through because, to be frank, the first 50% of the book is boring. It's a very slow pace and favours a Tolkien-style of writing where journeying is 80% of the plot.
