Tress of te Emerald sea

By Brandon Sanderson

5 stars

Combine the Princess Bride where the Princess has more sass than Buttercup, with the whimiscal writing skill of Terry Hatchett discworld witches and a very small bit of sci-fi concepts and you have a bit of an idea about the promise of the story of Tress.

Whimsical story of the crossover of the human and faery worlds bound by love.
Lynette Noni

By The Blood Traitor

4 stars

Kiva struggles with her guilt over the events leading to the overthrow of Evalon, and her heartache over Jaron, whom she fears will never forgive her. But her steadfast belief in the people she loves gives her the hope and strength to develop the skills she needs to try to help make things right. There are a few twists to keep the plot interesting, and we hope for happy endings amidst the challenges faced by the band on their quest. The theme of loyalty and love weave their way through the book to a fitting conclusion for the series.
Kingdom of Claw

By Demi Winters

3 stars

The Kingdom of Claw drew me in with Silla’s growing sense of power and the unfolding story of her sister. The development of their magic and confidence in relationships was interesting and the plot becomes more complex. I enjoyed the book, but the constant setbacks faced by the main characters made it intense enough that I’m not sure I’ll keep going with the series.
A Gilded Cage

A Court of Mist and Fury

By Sarah J Maas

4 stars

A Court of Mist and Fury is a gripping continuation of Feyre’s story, following her struggle to heal after the trauma Under the Mountain while trying to navigate a potentially dangerous new political landscape in Prythian. As she grows closer to Rhysand and the Night Court, Feyre discovers her own strength and magic, gradually accepting a more empowered version of herself. I found the plot development engaging, and while themes such as a powerful female heroine and finding her “mate” are familiar territory for this author, the characters remain compelling and enjoyable. The emotional growth, intrigue, and rising stakes kept me invested enough that I’m keen to read the next installment.
A crown of thorns and roses

By Sarah J Maas

4 stars

A Court of Thorns and Roses is a fantasy romance that follows Feyre, a mortal huntress who is drawn into the dangerous and enchanting world of the fae. As she becomes entangled with the High Fae Lord Tamlin and the curse hanging over his court, the story balances action with a growing, slow-burn romance. I enjoyed the mix of action and romance, which kept the plot moving while still allowing space for emotional depth. Feyre is a feisty and determined heroine, but she also feels realistic because she lacks confidence at times and is genuinely scared when facing the unknown. I liked that I could read the book as a stand alone if I didn't want to continue with the story - but find myself wanting to find out what happens next in the world of the fae as there are obviously going to be some twists and turns in Feyre's story.
The Prison Healer

By Lynette Noni

4 stars

A good easy read with themes of rebellion, survival and young reluctant love amidst secrets.
House of Flame and Shadow

By Sarah j Maas

5 stars

I love the imagination of Sarah J Maas. The different species and fantastical setting fascinate me. I needed to hear the conclusion of the story from the Crescent City series and I wasn't disappointed. The main character is probably too sassy for me, but the concept of a strong female protagonist is popular at the moment, and the story weaves that through quite strongly in the last book of the series. At times I had to fast forward the sexy bits, but the element of romance is a heart-warming and integral part of the story. Loved the series.
