So Let Them Burn | Kamilah Cole

Audio. Jamaican island inspired story against dragon rider colonization? Amazing. The aspects of such were well written. The characters themselves, the sisters, were great apart. Together, I got lost to where the plot was going when they were split between their islands. First half was difficult to stay focused with, though the closing twists had me stop in my tracks. This was a fun listen and I‘m intrigued how the sequel will go about it all.

I almost never finish memoirs but I read this one compulsively. I follow the author on several platforms and have read his poetry. Recommend unless you are not down for graphic kinky gay sex.

Apparently I was really feeling "purple books" this month. Sunrise on the Reaping (which comes out Tuesday!!!) even fits this theme.

My spring break for work is coming up soon so ?? I can knock these out.

Really good but needed more Selwyn IMO. The added POVs were great, Deonn did a really good sort of recap at the beginning for where Bree, Sel, Nick & the order left off. Bree finds she can‘t run from her heritage as more secrets and injustices are revealed. Can‘t wait to see what‘s next

This series just keeps getting better and better…and it‘s not done yet. This fantasy series might be marketed as YA but it‘s a great read for anyone—fantastic world building that draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources, flawed interesting characters easy to root for and against, and a plot that has all the twists and turns and SURPRISES you could want. The wait for the next one is going to be difficult…

Lore of the Wilds | Analeigh Sbrana

This was a good story, although it didn‘t bring anything new in particular, with some solid growth and enjoyable characters. I would, however, have liked some more depth in the world-building, particularly the magic system, so that objects and actions had a better root. I also found the pacing a little odd — the plot was slow, but the relationships between characters grew insanely fast. ⬇️⬇️

BookBr I‘m also not entirely sure I bought the twist at the end, and I think that‘s where more depth would have really helped. I might still read the sequel, but I‘m just as glad this was a loaner. (edited) 3w

I just finished and Oathbound is officially the GOAT of fantasy series for me! Like this books makes me want to reduce star counts on other books because they need to bow down to this series. Miss Tracy Deonn gifted us with connective work of masterful story telling. I‘m overwhelmed by the absolute perfection of this 3rd book in series from the multi POVs, character growth and expanded world building. All the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Soubhiville Wow, high praise! I need to pick up the first one. 🙂 3w
