A Sorceress Comes to Call | T. Kingfisher

pick

It's T. Kingfisher. So it's good. It really is. I loved the characters, especially Hester and Penelope. And I loved the fact that the females make the stories, the males are barely there to be there and help out. Everything else is true Kingfisher. Magic, humor, fantasy. Can't get enough of her.

Empire of the Damned | Jay Kristoff

pick

A wild, epic fantasy about a world doomed to darkness and the vampires that fight to rule. Gabriel's story continues, as he continues to protect Dior so she can fulfill the prophecy and put an end to the eternal night. This book is action filled, as our heroes constantly fight different vampires houses. The cruelty of the vampires is extreme, and there is very little happiness here. It is very intense and made me want to keep reading.

Jas16 I have these books sitting in my shelves. Really need to read them soon because they sound great. 3d

TheLudicReader I bought this when it first came out…but still haven‘t gotten around to reading it. Loved the first book. 3d

Too many swear words, in my opinon. Sadly. I've heard good things about it.

Empire of the Vampire (Empire of the Vampire, Book 1) | Jay Kristoff

pick

This book was taxing, but not always in a bad way. It‘s dark, tragic, and emotional grimdark fantasy, so if that‘s your thing, go for it. It‘s also packed with action and interesting characters. However, I think the ending was the books weakest point, with sudden pacing issues and strange turns of character. Overall, an engaging start to a dark fantasy trilogy.

Krampus: The Yule Lord | Brom

so-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️As a huge fan of Krampus and all the stories around this legend, I was looking forward to this one. I did love how Brom wove all@the bits of lore surrounding Krampus from other parts of the world, but the story itself felt a bit forced. It was ok. This was badly in need of an editor cause it was way too long. I found if getting repetitive. If it was buttoned up tighter, I would have loved it instead of just liked it enough.
