GoodReads Monday

This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.

Lots of books coming out in the fall and early winter are beginning to get their final covers. My pick this week doesn’t come out until December, but I just love the cover!

Rebel Blade by Davinia Evans

The Burnished City #3

Publication Date: December 3, 2024

Summary from Goodreads:

From one of the most exciting new voices in fantasy comes the satisfying conclusion to Davinia Evans’s wickedly entertaining debut trilogy full of monsters, mayhem, dangerous society ladies, and a dragon who holds the fate of the most famous alchemist of all in her claws.

Siyon Velo has given magic back to the Mundane. But with it, monsters of myth have awoken and begun to cause chaos in Bezim and, of course, Siyon is left to take the blame. Hunted high and low, Siyon struggles against the rising tide of mystery, magic and mayhem threatening the city that’s turned its back on him.

In the Flower District, Lady Sable has unleashed chaos. But in the Avenues, Anahid is desperate to keep her sordid secrets hidden just a little longer. Or at least until Zagiri can make her introduction to high society. With scandal stalking the sisters and the threat of a rising revolution on their hands, the best–or worst– they can do may not be enough to save their city…

In the end, the Alchemist must rise, or Bezim will burn.

I have really enjoyed this series and highly recommend it to all of you who are high fantasy fans. It has everything that you could want in a series. Great lovable characters, amazing plot, a magical system that is top notch, and lots of political intrigue and mayhem. It will be a long wait till December to see how this series ends.

Until next time…
