A very simple review for a duology that was very complex. I loved both books, Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vowa and tried to convey this without giving too much of the story away. I highly recommend this duology if you haven’t read it yet.

ARC Review: Short Story Collection
A review for the short story collection by Naomi Novik, Buried Deep. This collection is full of wonderful stories, many of which have been published elsewhere. I enjoyed reading all of them. The last story is a glimpse of Ms. Novik’s next novel, and I loved it and can’t wait for the whole book to come out.

A review for the historical fantasy novel, The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo. This was a beautifully written story of want and longing set in the time period of the Spanish Inquisition. A story with many characters and themes that will keep you engaged till the end.
Audiobook Review: A Cozy Horror
This is a review for the new full length book by Lindy Ryan. It is a cozy horror, full of heart, warmth and fun characters. Yes there are some gruesome scenes, but the rest of the story is pure delight and the narrator does an excellent job of bringing them to life.
Little Confessions: Two 2023 Books
I have been catching up on some of the books that I wanted to read in 2023 but didn’t get around to for various reasons. Last week I managed to get two of them done, The Seven Year Slip by Ashley poston and The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater. These are two very different stories, but both have fantasy elements. I liked both of them, but was a bit surprised that I didn’t fall in love with either of them.
