Thank you for your question!
I've written each book hoping that they can be read as standalones, so it will make sense in whatever order! You will get some spoilers of events that happen before in the timeline, which you can check on my website so you can know which story takes place when: https://merlinagarance.com/books/publ...

All characters are mentioned in each book, but The Flourishing and Mending Bones are more focused on a couple than the friendship group.

I hope that makes sense, and that you will enjoy the books!(less)

3.5 rounded up

A charming tale of family ties. Many points of view, settings and time periods sometimes made it hard to settle in the story. Quite a soft, human book.

Another very good and unique piece of fantasy. It picks up in the middle of some intense action and I had some trouble following for the first few chapters but once I got into it, what a ride! The addition of Inez' point of view is great, and her arc ...more

What a brilliant book. I read the last hundred pages in a trance, dying to find out what happened and to see the horrible colonisers meet their well-deserved demise. The environment of this story is very immersive, plunging the reader into this fanta ...more

While this book doesn't particularly add anything to the zombie genre, it does it very well, and with an organically diverse cast. There is no respite from The Horrors, making it a page turner for sure. No character is safe from the apocalypse and th ...more

A strange, wholesome and comical story that goes all over the place with several storylines and still doesn't get lost. I loved the treatment of the characters and how all of them received compassion. Well, maybe except from Tremon the Demon. It's al ...more

An interesting world-building, refreshing change from most European inspired fantasy. I did get a bit bored of all the politics vs the more action parts of the book. I would love to know more about the Mayakari's culture and history before they start ...more

A good conclusion to the trilogy that never gives its characters a break. Thiyo forgets language, Alizhan thinks the other two are dead... And the return in force of Iriyat and her machinations. I really enjoyed the part in Addapyr and the constructi ...more
