My Thoughts

A CURSE CARVED IN BONE was just as good as A FATE INKED IN BLOOD if not better. It was a fantastic sequel and end to this duology. I absolutely adored this series from beginning to end. I loved seeing Freya learn more about her power from Hel. I’m so smad on behalf of all the unfated from Nordeland. Harald was something else. His schemes and manipulations were horrid.

My Thoughts

I really love that Norse mythology and Viking stories are “in” right now. I mean I absolutely loved A FATE INKED IN BLOOD. It was such an interesting take on Norse mythology and Vikings lore. I loved the setting, characters, and magic system. The political intrigue was fun as well. I’m excited to see how the story wraps up in the sequel and to see if my theories are correct.

My Thoughts

I absolutely adored HAPPY PLACE! I laughed, I cried, I worried, and I definitely squee’d. Harriet and Wyn were amazing characters. Even though a lot of their problems could’ve been fixed if they had communicated, I’m glad Henry showed that not only communication is hard at the best of times, it’s so much harder when depression, grief, and trauma are present.

My Thoughts

I don’t know why I waited so long to read THE IMMORTAL THRONE. I knew I’d love it and I did, more than I thought I would. This was a fantastic conclusion to the trilogy. I loved that some things were left open, but most of the major things were resolved. I loved getting to spend time in both the Underrealm and Skyrealm. I loved LOVED LOVED all the mythology that went into this trilogy (and all the Star Wars references since I know Bree is a huge fan).

My Thoughts

THE ASHFIRE KING was just as good, if not better, than THE STARDUST THIEF. I loved seeing the djinn kingdom and cities, and all the different djinn and their magic. I loved getting to know Riju and the Resurrectionist more in this one. The slow-burn romance is driving me insane only because I’m just as unsure as Loulie is. I don’t think there’s any romantic love between her and Qadir, but I’m not sure. I think Mazen is a great love interest, but if there is romantic love with Qadir, then I don’t know who I want Loulie to be with in the end. I’m distressed that I have to wait almost a year for the third installment, especially with how this one ended. I hope this series ends well!
