pickThis 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.

December was the hardest favorite to choose. I had six five star reads.

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.
I loved this book. Keeping in the fantasy genre it was a perfect read for the end of this crazy year.
This book is so good. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Best book in April. I waited forever for this one to drop. And it was worth it.

pickI LOVED this book so much. I enjoyed Brom‘s Slewfoot as well, but this one kept me on the edge of my seat while simultaneously making me laugh out loud. It will definitely be a yearly reread for the Yuletide season! The narration was AMAZING! #holidaybookdragons #wintergames2024
