Sinopse

Nas terras dos Gémeos Indomáveis, os descendentes dos filhos dos Deuses vivem sob a forma humana, após o enclausuramento dos seus verdadeiros seres, os Titãs.

Durante séculos não se vira um Titã na sua forma original, até que, na Batalha do Vale dos Ursos, Wilmarione Von Rimer de Rokkya libertara a sua verdadeira forma e sobrevoara os céus como um enorme dragão branco. Porém, há muito que a grande rainha partira para os Jardins dos Deuses e já se contavam três gerações de Von Rimer depois da sua morte. Três gerações sem um eterno que tivesse sido capaz de libertar a sua forma original.

Mas, agora, os ventos começavam a trazer consigo cânticos de guerra e na família da grande rainha rokka começava a formar-se uma tempestade que poucos seriam capazes de controlar.

No fim, iria ser cada um por si só contra o poderoso Império de Karkalis. E entre guerras, alianças, traições, amores, injustiças e novas amizades, os Titãs iriam… Ressurgir.

Até na mais negra e sinistra das criaturas, na mais cruel e maldosa, se pode encontrar uma centelha de luz. Mas nunca o contrário.

My Review

Sometimes books catch my attention via it’s genre, others because of the cover, and then there are those that have an appealing. In this case, it was all those things.

In this story we follow immortal Lord Blake as we goes on a crazy adventure of reopening a zoo and connecting with the people he ends up meeting. The characters were exciting and real. I especially loved the chemistry and interaction between Blake and Ginny, they were amazing and cute.

I really liked the amount of fantasy/paranormal and romance, they were a a soft added element. And I loved the mystery that, as well as the characters interactions and secrets, was what got me excited to read each page. Even the flashbacks and the information we were discovering with each moment and each revelation, it was fantastic.

Overall, it was a lovely story, just what I love in fantasy/paranormal adventure romance. I also enjoyed the author’s writing style, how he gave us a storytelling with a good pace, one that made every chapter intriguing.

Liara and Nagarath’s enemy has unexpectedly come to their aid, surrendering to the magick-suppressing forces of the king of France so as to buy time for their escape. But that doesn’t necessarily mean Anisthe is on their side. Vrsar’s war mage, Liara’s father-in-magick, has never been a man do to things for others. And he has always has plans within plans.

In fleeing to England with his apprentice, the Wizard Nagarath realizes that Liara’s power is no longer her own to command.

What is more, at eighteen-years-old, her life remains tied to Anisthe’s for another two years per the Laws of Magick. Anisthe, who is now imprisoned for having helped them evade the king’s spellpiercers.

Forced to revisit his own past, Nagarath is finally learning that there are some histories you cannot outrun. As for Liara, the darkness within her heart is greater than she ever could have imagined. This after Dvigrad’s orphaned magpie having finally learned to love. For, in the words of Khariton himself, “In magick you can never have friends. Only rivals.”

My Review

After having read the previous books, I recommend you read them in order. The experience of this series is so much better if you have all the facts and if you see the story unfold book after book.

With each journey that Liara and Nagarath go through, we learn more about the world and the Magick system. Plus, I love to see their development and how they dealt with the issues arising. Plus I loved to see the consistency in their personalities, even if some thing change and relationship grow and they have to get strong and all that, I loved the little elements about the characters that made me love them the first time.

I still love the historical feel it had, it was fun to see how the author connected the history, the cities and the reality with the fiction aspects. I love the fantasy in the book and I just want more books in this universe.

Overall, I love the book. I loved the series. It was unique, it was fun, it was like going back to that feeling I first had when I read a fantasy book when I was a teenager. And I will continue to be on the look-out for future books by this author.

“The Kithseeker” Review

Hello Friends!

It’s time for the review of the second book of a series I read recently.

“The Kithseeker“, written by M.K. Wiseman, is a YA / Adult Historical Fantasy novel, the second book in the Bookminder series, published on August 2018.

I want to thank Rachel, at Rachel’s Random Resources, M.K. Wiseman for the eCopy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Synopsis

France, 1680 A.D.

Liara’s defense of the Wizard Nagarath has rendered Anisthe incantate—bereft of all magick—but even this has failed to guarantee Liara’s safety. The death of the war mage would seal Liara’s own fate, and so the wizard and his bookminder must keep him in their sites and yet as far away from themselves as possible.

With nothing but a storybook and a hunch, Anisthe has set off on a journey across Europe, aided by his half-fey manservant, in search of a legendary mirror that contains the most powerful magick ever known. Although the stuff of fairytales, the merest possibility of its truth embarks Nagarath and Liara on a race to discover the mirror before it falls into the hands of Nagarath’s lifelong foe. Both know should he lay claim to that power, Liara would be at the mercy of her father-in-magick and his lust for power, and not even Nagarath could save her.

Thus, the pair find themselves at the court of the Sun King, a world hostile to magick users, hopelessly surrounded by agents whose sole purpose is destroy them. Uncertain whom is friend or foe, with Anisthe nipping at their heels, they must unearth the mirror before its evil is released, or worse, lays claim to Liara’s magick as well and brings doom upon them all.

My Review

Read the first book and then read this one… I was curious to know what would happen in the story of these characters, where would book two would go, and I was excited to continue the adventure.

Magic, fantasy and the touch of historical fiction to it. We are following Liara, Nagarath and Anisthe in a journey through Europe, France nonetheless.

My interest in the characters has not stopped, I found them compelling. It did help that we could read their thoughts thanks to the various POVs. Each one of them had a voice and I could connect with them and understand what was going on, even with the changes of perspectives.

I liked that we had more action and movement in this book, compared to the previous on. It was exciting to read the main characters going through the journey and interacting with others. It felt dynamic in a different way.

Overall, I loved that we keep knowing more the characters and the world. And I loved the mix of historical elements and fantasy, since they are two genres I love, it was good to see them combined.

Synopsis

Istria, 1679 A.D.

Sired by magick and violence, sixteen-year-old Liara is found guilty of witchcraft and banished from her tiny village by the very priest who raised, then betrayed her. However, a mysterious mage steps forward to assume custody of her: Nagarath, the Wizard of Parentino, whose secret spellwork has long protected both Liara and Dvigrad from the ravages of war.

Despite Liara’s best hopes, Nagarath refuses to apprentice her to his craft but tasks her instead with the restoration of his neglected library. Liara gleans magickal knowledge on the sly, but her stolen spells renew an evil wizard’s interest in the people of the Limska Draga valley.

Only by tapping Liara’s inherent magick and joining it with his own can Nagarath protect Parentino from suffering a horrible fate. However, her discovery of his secrets destroys their fragile trust and ignites the darker tendencies of her gift. Now, he must rescue her from the influence of his mortal enemy before their powerful new alliance destroys them all.

My Review

A while back I found out about this series and I was curious about. I like fantasy novels and this one seemed my kind of fantasy. So I was very excited to finally read it.

This book follows Liara, a sixteen-years old girl, and Nagarath, a mage that helps her out. I loved getting to know them and see their relationship growing. It was quite interesting, the dynamic of the interactions and the background. I liked it. I could connected with the characters.

I also liked the world and how it was building up. How we learned more about how it all worked. I always enjoyed knowing more about the fantasy system when I’m starting a series, so it was something I was interested in knowing, and this book gave me what I needed.

Overall, this is the first book, the opening to the world, to the magical system, to the society, the culture and the characters that surround Liara and that end up having a role in her life and in the story… I found it all enjoyable and fascinating. A good way to start a series.

That been said, I enjoyed it and right after I finished it, I jumped into the next book, because I wanted to read more and see what would happen next, how the characters would continue to develop and what other secrets would be revealed.

Evil never sleeps, and neither can the fire spirits who have guarded Kesta and her family so faithfully for more than fourteen years.

About the Author

I often get asked when I knew I was a writer; the answer is always. A writer is what I am, it’s in my soul. There have been times in my life when I couldn’t write, and times when my writing has been the only thing that kept me going. I think I always longed for something deeper from life, something more meaningful, and I found it in my imagination and in the music of words.

It was poetry which first caught my attention, and whilst my younger cousins called for ghost stories it was animals I first wrote of. I think I gravitated toward fantasy because of the freedom it gives, I could create my own worlds and decide my own rules. My Wind’s Children trilogy was born from an image that came to me whilst daydreaming, of a young man sitting alone below a bridge. I didn’t know who he was; it turns out neither did he, but we found out together.

I’m now working on my seventh book and love writing more than ever, it’s an addiction, an obsession, but one I now share with my wonderful writing family. My beta readers, my editor, and you, my readers, having you with me on my journey means the world to me.
I write as much as I can around work, but I also try to squeeze in a ridiculous amount of hobbies! I’m a wildlife photographer and do a little archery. I paint, sculpt with clay, withies and driftwood, preferring to be outdoors if I can. I still have a love for the theatre, having started out in life studying backstage crafts, and a great love for language. I speak a little French, Romanian and Italian, ma non molto bene!

My Review

Following this series has been an interesting experience, and let me just tell you, I will be rereading all four books in the future, so I see what I miss – because I’m sure I missed some information that connect the books.

We have been following the characters and the story. We have been through twists and lots of action moments. We have learn about the characters, their background, we even fell in love with them. We understood the magic and what made this world special. After all of that, coming to an end is a bittersweet thing.

Fourteen years after the lats book took place, we get some final answers, some things get resolved… We now, our wonderful group of characters have come to ending that I was waiting for. Although the pace was slower in comparison to the previous books, I felt it was right for the tone of the story and the POVs and the storytelling.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. I don’t want to say much because I don’t want to spoil anything in the overall experience of the series, I just recommend you guys read the books by order, so that you fully understand the characters backgrounds, their needs and goals, their relationships and the build up to this ending.

I’m now quite interested to read more of Emma Miles’ books and that other Fantasy novels and adventures she has in store for us.

My Review

I have been exploring audiobooks bit more during this crazy time in our lives and in the world. Not because I’m out, but because at the end of the day, when I’m stressed and just want a book, my eyes don’t always cooperate, since they are tired. And with the audiobooks I can just relax and enjoy the story.

That’s what I did with this one. I love a good fantasy/paranormal romance. It’s what I write and what I love to read before going to bed. It gets my dreams to an exciting place. Listening to it is a all different experience. And who doesn’t like angel’s stories?

I had previous read S C Cunningham works and enjoyed it. But this was my introduction to the series, as I have not read these books. ‘The Deal’ is book one in the Fallen Angel Series and I really did enjoy it as well. I have to say though, I have to get the book so I can read it and see if I missed something (I don’t trust my mind 100% anyway). Rereading and reentering a story is something I love to do anyway.

By the narrator’s pleasant voice, we enter the world that the author has crafted. It’s not pretty, then again, life rarely is. It’s a strong book and dark too in some ways. It touches various topics that my be triggering for some people, so keep that in mind.

I enjoyed the plot and and I had a couple of moments that surprised me because of some scenes that created a visual. Not a bad thing for me at all, it was actually something that I thought refreshing and different from what I was reading previously.

It was quite intense and emotional, which helped with establishing some connection with characters. I always look forward to that connection.

Overall, I enjoyed it and I’m curious to see where the next book will go.

I want to thank Rachel, at Rachel’s Random Resources, and Suzanne Rogerson for the Audible Codes of this book and for allowing me to join in the fun and being a part of the blog tour with my honest review of the book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Synopsis

The magical island of Kalaya is dying, along with its Sentinel.

The Assembly controls Kalaya. Originally set up to govern, they now persecute those with magic and exile them to the Turrak Mountains.

Tei, a tailor’s daughter, has always hidden her magic, but when her father’s old friend visits and warns them to flee to the mountains, she must leave her old life behind. On the journey, an attack leaves her father mortally wounded. He entrusts her into the care of the exiles and on his deathbed makes a shocking confession.

Struggling with self-doubt, Tei joins the exiles search for their new Sentinel who is the only person capable of restoring the fading magic. But mysterious Masked Riders are hunting the Sentinel too, and time, as well as hope, is running out.

Against mounting odds it will take friendship, heartache, and sacrifice for the exiles to succeed, but is Tei willing to risk everything to save the island magic? 

If you like character-based fantasy, then you’ll love The Lost Sentinel – book one in the Silent Sea Chronicles trilogy.

About The Author

Suzanne lives in Middlesex, England with her husband, two children and a crazy puppy.

Her writing journey began at the age of twelve when she completed her first novel. She discovered the fantasy genre in her late teens and has never looked back. Giving up work to raise a family gave Suzanne the impetus to take her attempts at novel writing beyond the first draft, and she is lucky enough to have a husband who supports her dream – even if he does occasionally hint that she might think about getting a proper job one day.

Now an author of four novels including the completed Silent Sea Chronicles trilogy Suzanne hopes the dreaded ‘W’ word will never rear its ugly head again!

She loves gardening and has a Hebe (shrub) fetish. She enjoys cooking with ingredients from the garden and regularly feeds unsuspecting guests vegetable-based cakes.

Suzanne collects books, is interested in history and enjoys wandering around castles and old ruins whilst being immersed in the past. She likes to combine her love of nature and photography on family walks, but most of all she loves to escape with a great film, binge watch TV shows, or soak in a hot bubble bath with an ice cream and a book.

Essentially, my voice is my livelihood, and my spirit longs to explore.

My Review

I had the chance to read this book previously, so the story wasn’t surprising. If you are looking for a review on the plot, check my previous review of the book. Since I enjoy audiobooks, I wanted to hear this one and hopefully have a different experience of the story.

This is a fantasy novel full of action, that follows multiple POV, and listening to the story was just as I expected. It was exciting and it gave an added connection to the characters.

The narrator’s voice was one that did not bore me, actually it was a good combination to the storytelling of Suzanne Rogerson. It was the accent, it gave the narrative such an extra beauty, and it transported me to the world that the author created, with such ease.

Personally, I always recommend people to read and listen to the book. Not at the same time, but do them both because it allows a reader to explore the world and the characters in a different way. That was partly the reason why I listened to this audiobook. And it was worthy of my time.

Overall, I loved the narrator, George Ellington, he was a perfect pick for the tone in this fantasy novel.
