pickThis book was a rollercoaster of emotions. It made me laugh, and cry, had me suspicious of everyone except Balen. I was 100% invested in the main characters. They had me frustrated, begging them to just talk to eachother and be happy.
(I love those idiots)
This gave me everything I enjoy in a fantasy book. The magic and the lore. The court intrigue and arcane assassins. The angst.
10/10 for me. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel

I still need to finish Januaries. I've been enjoying it.

pickI recently delved into "Union Cavalry: 1861-65" by Philip Katcher and Richard Hook, and I must say, it's a phenomenal contribution to the Warrior Series by Osprey Publishing. As someone with a keen interest in military history, I found this book to be a well-researched and captivating exploration of the pivotal role the Union Cavalry played during the Civil War.
pickSoft pick. I chose this particular book because I wanted to hear Boudica's story from the mouth of a woman who could be critical of sexist sources who used Boudica's story to further their own agendas. In a way, she reveals those agendas and some of their biases. But, for the most part, she simply retells their stories without too much criticism (where it was due). 1/3

I have been reading these books out of order. Technically they can all be read as stand-alones. However, I wish this particular book I had read sooner since it is about characters that are repeatedly mentioned in later books. Still enjoyed and was glad to fill in some blanks. 4⭐️

This is book 6 in the series. It is a stand alone book but I wished I had read in order since Jessica is a minor character in other books. Also, Nial is mentioned often since he is the leader of the Coalition.
I liked that this book had more plot in it. The characters worked and we get a bit more development in this book. 4⭐️

This is a prequel to the Interstellar Brides series. It is the story of the first bride, Amanda, sent from Earth. Mated to two Prillion warriors aboard a coalition battleship. She is also a spy and sent to report on the validity of the fight against the Hive. Interesting start and I kind of wish I had read these in order. 3.5 ⭐️
