    Episode 15 - Book of Night by Holly Black

    This episode is a little bit all over the place. I read Book of Night over a month ago, but circumstances prevented me from recording. What were my final thoughts on this urban fantasy, shadow magic, criminal underbelly story? Listen to find out!

    Episode 14 - The Prince of Secrets

    This episode marks my first sequel review and my shortest review to date! You'd think I have more thoughts, but when it comes to this sequel my opinion is pretty to the point. So, did I think The Prince of Secrets improved upon what I found to be a delightful and charming low fantasy romance in The Lord of Stariel? Listen to find out! *Please bear in mind, this being a sequel that there are inherent spoilers for the first installment, so please listen at your own discretion.

    Episode 13 - Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

    I'm back again after a much longer hiatus than anticipated. But I'm bringing with me a doozy of an episode: a review of the much loved Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. If you're wondering why I'm reviewing a YA book when I have explicitly stated I do not like YA... well, listen to find out. (Content warning: I was feeling a little extra spicy with this one and drop a few more swear words than normal, including at least one f-bomb. Enjoy)

    Episode 12 - The Lord of Stariel by AJ Lancaster

    In the midst of kind of a low mood, this cozy fantasy romance (with just a dash of fae machinations) was everything I could have hoped for. What was my final rating? Listen to find out! The Lord of Stariel is the first book in the Stariel quartet, a romantic cozy fantasy series about fae, magical estates, and complicated families.

    Episode 11 - House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland

    This Goodread's Choice Award nominee of 2021 had me riveted from start to finish! Seriously, I tore through this spooky YA horror novel in just two sittings. My final rating, though, might surprise you. Listen to find out why! CW: Mentions of suicide.

    Episode 10 - Skin of the Sea by Natasha Bowen

    Just a short one this week. Even though I don't usually read YA, I couldn't pass up a fantasy book about a Black mermaid based on African folklore. What did I ultimately think? Listen to find out! Oh, and I forgot to mention that this book has one of THE most beautiful covers I've ever seen. Gorgeous!

  7. Episode 09 - The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi

    Episode 09 - The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi

    This book bamboozled me! Though not actually a fantasy, despite it's marketing, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a fairy tale influenced gothic story about co-dependency and the lies we tell ourselves to maintain a comfortable fiction.

    Episode 08 - Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne

    I am so glad to be back and even more glad that April is over. I've got an excellent slate of books coming up to read and review for you in the month of May, starting with Shadow of the Gods. "Set in a brand-new, Norse-inspired world, and packed with myth, magic and bloody vengeance, The Shadow of the Gods begins an epic new fantasy saga from bestselling author John Gwynne."
