| This was really good. It was described as Romantasy, but it is very different to the other Romantasy’s I’ve read so far. And that isn’t a bad thing - I enjoy variety. It takes place in a world similar to ours would have been at WW1. Except gods and g ...more | |

| This was a lighthearted, enjoyable read, a little tongue-in-cheek about the whole traditional publishing/author business, which was fun! Some great characters and I’m hoping Jane Hepburn keeps the bit of confidence she got from this situation, as wel ...more | |

| I am giving this a bit less than 4*. It is well written, tense and fast paced and I empathise with and quite admire Paedyn. However, I feel like worlds are so dark and the MMC has to be arrogant and tortured and everything is so hopeless - am I just ...more | |

| Maybe I should give this 5* as it is a strong 4, but I don’t like rounding up like that when I save 5* for excellent tales. A lovely, gentle story about second chances and finding your place. Terlu Perna was turned to a statue for daring to use magic ...more | |

| Easy 4*. Lara failed to rectify her traitorous mistake and now all she wants is to atone, but how can she do that from a prison cell? This speeds along with masses of action and tension - including romantic tension between her and Aren. How can they ...more | |

| This is probably more than 3* but not quite good enough to round up to 4. It started faster than book 1 where nothing happened for more than half the book… However, it still felt a little slow whereas so much was jammed into the last few chapters. In ...more | |

| For the first 2/3 or more this was definitely only a 3* - the last quarter might get 4*. I was expecting atmospheric but found it a little depressing and oppressive. I know that’s how Ari Thór feels, but if a book depresses me I’m not going to enjoy ...more | |

| This book got better as it went on, not that I thought it started as badly as some other reviewers. Yes, it does feel a bit like YA books in that there is a lot of inner dialogue and angst, but I don’t mind that. I personally feel like the worldbuild ...more | |
