pickYes, alright, the plot may be ridiculous and the jokes are all dirty, but that's why I enjoyed it so much. I just need a good laugh every now and then, especially now in 2025. And the audiobook is so well done, I love Benji's voice, it's just so fitting. And who doesn't love anarchist elfes?
pickI really enjoyed this series. It was a cozy fantasy set between Ireland and a fantasy world, both of which jump off the page. The characters and their banter are so fun to follow. There‘s a little spice and some adventure thrown in to keep the plot moving, though overall I enjoyed it most for the joy of the characters ❤️
pick🥰 This book might just be my absolute favorite from the series. The worry and anxiety of Ralan is how I feel I live my day to day life. I felt like I was seen and understood reading his story. It resonates with me on such a level that when we get to his happy scenes I feel extremely giddy and excited. I have felt this happy from the ending of a book as I do today. I adore Ralan‘s energy and attitude, how great a father he is to young Eri, and
pickThis one started out excruciating slow. And to be honest it felt that nothing really happens for the biggest part of the book.
But then when things do start to happen... O boy!
I suspected the big twist from the very first preminision made way back in the first book, but that was also one of the reasons I wanted to continue the series.
This will be an epic ride I want to continue until the very end.
pickDelbin and Inona don‘t have as big a story as the rest, but the work they do together in such a short amount of time will greatly alter the evil plans of the bad guy 😆 I wish I had some more time with them, oh well!
I also really enjoyed the short story at the end of this book. It was really good and I would love to see it expanded upon in its own book(s)📕

pickShowing love for Book 2 ❤️❤️❤️ I could feel the changes in this book as the authors writing improved. Lyr's connection with his daughter growing stronger was heartwarming. I enjoyed reading about his relationship with Meli as he believed he would never find another soulbond. As for Meli, I Ioved how much she began to open up as a person the longer she stays in Moranaia. Seeing her grow stronger and more brazen was truly inspiring.

pickFinished my last book by Beth Krommes and absolutely loved everything about it. The artwork was superb as well as the fantasy tales of different creatures like fairies, gnomes, selkies, etc. Learned more about the fictional creatures and it's perfect for any age to read this book.
