My Thoughts

WE WHO WILL DIE was such a fun intense story. I loved the world-building and magic system. I thought the Gladiator feel of the story was a fun idea. I really liked Arvelle, her brothers, Tiernon, Rorrik, Leon, and Maeva. I’m very curious to see if this will turn into a Vampire Diaries situation. Right now, I’m very happy with Arvelle and Tiernon together, but I think I could be happy if she were with Rorrik instead.

My Thoughts

KINGDOM OF CLAW was just as good as THE ROAD OF BONES, if not a little better. I loved learning more about the Galdra and how their galdr works. I loved seeing so many different types of galdr and watching Silla come into her own. I really loved seeing more of Ìseldur, its politics, and people. I enjoyed meeting all the new characters and I’m excited to see where the next book takes us, especially with that ending (again)!

My Thoughts

This book! That ending! So many secrets, so many twists. I loved it! Even though I loved the audiobook, I kinda wish I had read-read THE ROAD OF BONES so I could see all the Nordic/Icelandic spellings. I loved the whole Vikingness of the story and I loved the subtle nod to Little Red Riding Hood. The characters, the world, and the magic system were amazing. The slow-burn romance was so much fun. I didn’t even mind the subtle love triangle. I’m really excited to read KINGDOM OF CLAW and see where this story goes.

REBEL WITCH was such a fantastic and satisfying conclusion to the Crimson Moth duology. It was everything I had hoped for and more. I’ll definitely check out more stories by this author because she knows how to write romance, suspense, and awesome characters.

That ending! Holy crap! I’m so glad I waited until the sequel was already published because I need to read it now!

HEARTLESS HUNTER was a fun slow-burn romantasy with lots of political intrigue, a somewhat dystopian society, and interesting characters. I really enjoyed the story and I’m so curious how it’s all going to end.
