My Thoughts

I’m so glad STOLEN MIDNIGHTS was a Book of the Month pick. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been on my radar. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I loved the setting, characters, and magic system. Wren and Damien had amazing banter, chemistry, and sexual tension. I’m so anxious to read the sequel after that ending and I can only hope this duology will turn out the way I want it to.

My Thoughts

Reading THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY four years ago was the most profound reading experience I’ve ever had. That book spoke to me like no other had. When I found out Matt Haig wrote a companion novel in the same universe I felt equal parts excitement and trepidation. Would THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN live up to the experience I had had with THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY? Yes, it most definitely would.

I related to Nora a little better than Wilbur, but I still loved his journey on the Midnight Train. I thought it was an interesting look back at his life–what it was and what it could have been (if only). I liked that Haig illustrated how much simple decisions and actions can affect our future and relationships, for the good and the bad. I also liked the idea that Wilbur was able to influence his younger self into making decisions that would ultimately help him not waste his life and focus on the wrong priorities. His journey was a good reminder to live in the now.

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 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).
