This was a mildly frustrating read, and depending on what you’re looking for in your fantasy romance this may or may not be for you. In premise it’s relatively similar to Queen Of Ieflaria or Of Fire and Stars: a woman of royal heritage is expecting to marry a male royal of another country, butRead More

Maggie reviews The Forever Sea by Joshua Phillip Johnson
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link The Forever Sea by Joshua Phillip Johnson is a very interesting new fantasy book that features pirates, the high seas, magical fires, girlfriends, exciting world-building, and pitched battles–over a lack of water.

Marieke reviews When The Tiger Came Down The Mountain by Nghi Vo
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link [This review contains spoilers] The Singing Hills cycle is a series of stories about storytelling, which happens to be one of my favourite narrative themes.

Although readers can pick up on who the characters are from the previous bookRead More
