Welcome to Litsy!

First fantasy doorstopper I've read in a while and it's a good one! Excitement and adventure from the high seas to lost cities in dense jungles. Great fun!

BOOKS I READ IN JULY

Favourite: The Waking Fire. It was one of the best books I've read this year. I loved every page of it, it is truly a masterpiece.

Least favourite: Kingdom of Ash. I felt that if the book was half as long and packed with action, it would have been much better. It dragged too much for my liking.

#TallShipCelebration #Sea

Kick ass trilogy from Anthony Ryan. A world is being overrun by an enemy and the Drakes are at the heart of it all. Multiple viewpoints in this fantasy/steampunky story. One of the POV's is largely at Sea and has some of the best oceanic adventurous storytelling I've encountered.

World War I. meets Indiana Jones in a world where dragon blood is the most valued commodity. The world is so perfectly built it makes you crave more, find out all the subtly delivered secrets it contains. There are so many questions, notions and discoveries leading to a mind blowing finale. This gem quickly found its way into my top three books I've read this year.

I'm on a book hunt and it just so happens I've ended up in the Fantasy section... 😋

Book 1 of the Draconis Memoria. If you like Indiana Jones, James Bond, Steampunk, and a whole bunch of Dragons...you're gonna wanna check this one out! 👌

Book 2 is already out and the final book is due this July which I am VERY excited for! 🤗

My review for this time is now up in my blog go check it out chapterswelove.com for more.

I've finally finished this 700 page mammoth fantasy read! 😍 This book is a whirlwind from start to finish. Dragons, kickass females, thieves, killer beasts, it has everything!! The story telling is truly immersive! I must confess that this is the first fantasy in a while that has engaged me to this extent. 💕

A really fun read with dragons, political intrigue, epic fight scenes, and fantadtic naval battles! This may sound like a GRRM-wannabe but it's definitely not! This is a original story, taking place in a fantastical world where dragons are harvested and an elite group rule over everyone. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes dragons, steampunk, and epic fantasy. Can't wait for the next one!

Blue for mind.
Green for the body.
Red for the fire.
Black for the push.

Brilliant tale of bullets and blood magic, drakes, politics and extreme cunning!

Life got in the way today. But I think fun Friday photo was fav genres. In either case, I read a bunch of genres but have a soft spot for fantasy. This has pirates, adventure, spies, and politics -- looks amazing
