Here are two fairly short reviews for the last two books I read. I highly recommend both of them. The first, A Judgement of Powers by Benedict Jacka is the third book in the series. It was a great addition to a wonderful urban fantasy. The Crimson Throne by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis is a YA historical fantasy set in Scotland during Queen Mary’s reign. This one is also great and will be a duology.
A review for the novel The Unkillable Frank Lightning by Josh Rountree. This story is a retelling of Frankenstein but set in the Old West and features a woman doctor. I found the story to be quite riveting and not as horror filled as the cover might suggest.
A review for the adult debut, A Land So Wide by Erin A. Craig. This is a very atmospheric, historical fantasy with a bit of horror and romance mixed in. I loved the main character and her journey to find her lost love and rescue him from a terrible fate.
The Adventures of Mary Darling by Pat Murphy Published: May 2025 Summary from Goodreads: Who is Mary Darling? In this subversive take on both Peter
A review for the next book in the Love’s Academic series by India Holton. The Geographer’s Map to Romance is just as much fun as the first book in the series. It has a failed marriage of convenience, one bed trope, and a forced working together situation to save England.
A review for the historical fantasy debut book by S. F. Williamson. A Language of Dragons has a lot to like, but fell a little bit flat for me, mostly due to the main character. I loved the dragons though and the main plot was fascinating.
