Dark Heir | C. S. Pacat

pick

This sequel to Dark Rise is every bit as tense & exciting as the first with all the adventure, danger, death, betrayal, magic, & secrets you could want. More big reveals raise the stakes, choices lead to further complications and then of course everything gets turned on its head. Now comes the wait—however long it might be—for the third and final book. A very entertaining read as I expected.

Dark Heir | C. S. Pacat

Started this middle book in a YA fantasy series last night. (Finally decided it had languished on the shelf too long.) 😬 The first book ended with a fantastic reveal and takes that reveal and runs with it. I‘m expecting an entertaining read & then, most likely, a bit of a wait for the third one.

(Also, I really like the font it‘s using…)

The Forest Grimm | Kathryn Purdie

Clara, Axel, and Hennie head into The Forest Grimm to find their lost villagers and a missing grimoire. They find much more. Some of the villagers have become fairy tale archetypes like Cinderella and Rapunzel. I like that Clara had a disability (scoliosis), yet still manages to achieve her goals. However, the reader is beat over the head about her back issues with every tumble she takes. The romance was sweet and of a PG13 variety. 4 stars.

She crushed their lips together, unable to hold back for one more minute. “Yes,” she said when they pulled apart, knowing it was true, whatever she was agreeing to. “Yes, yes, yes.”

This was a great conclusion to this series. Dani and Carmen are definitely one of my favorite couples. This was full of heart and rebellion. I truly enjoyed this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Where the Dark Stands Still | Ania Poranek

pick

This was an enchanting and unique fantasy read!

The story is described by many as Beauty and the Beast meets Howl‘s Moving Castle. I haven‘t seen Howl‘s Moving Castle so I can't comment on that. However, it does have major Beauty and the Beast vibes. As a Beauty and the Beast retelling, the story felt so refreshing because of the Polish folklore.

Improbable Magic for Cynical Witches | Kate Scelsa

pick

I have had more time than usual to listen to audiobooks in the last few days, and got through this one quickly.

It‘s a sweet sapphic romance, maybe New Adult since the MC is 18 or 19. The title makes it sound like fantasy but it‘s not, though Tarot plays a big part. I enjoyed the little explanations of all the cards in the major arcana. And it takes place in Salam MA, right around Halloween.
