Thoughts

It's no mystery that I love comics and graphic novels. While there will always be a special place in my heart for the typical superhero comics, I find myself craving more comics that are completely different. I really love comics in the fantasy and science fiction genres. I also love graphic adaptations of stories from some of my favorite books series, like this one. I really enjoyed her Shades of Magic comics that took place in her Shades of Magic universe. I think that when an author adds stories in comic or graphic novel form in an already established literary universe it adds so much more depth to the world. And I always love additional stories set in my favorite bookish worlds.

Leaving him was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I have to put our people first. Werewolf City is at war and I’ll do whatever it takes to turn the tides in the wolves' favor, even if it means stepping up in my new role.

The Paladins are a secretive people that I know nothing about. What I thought would be a quick trip into their lands turns into a fight for my life. The future Sawyer and I have dreamed of together threatens to crumble.

I’m torn. Do I chose love and a sure future with the man of my dreams, or do I follow my heart and save a dying people I know nothing about, no matter the cost?

Either way I have to make it back to him; I can’t imagine a life in which we don’t exist together.

Thoughts

I love this series so much! These books are seriously like crack. After finishing one you crave the next one like your life depends on it.

A strange darkness grows in Allward.

Even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea.

She soon discovers the truth: She is the last of an ancient lineage—and the last hope to save the world from destruction. But she won’t be alone. Even as darkness falls, she is joined by a band of unlikely companions:

A squire, forced to choose between home and honor.

An immortal, avenging a broken promise.

An assassin, exiled and bloodthirsty.

An ancient sorceress, whose riddles hide an eerie foresight.

A forger with a secret past.

A bounty hunter with a score to settle.

Together they stand against a vicious opponent, invincible and determined to burn all kingdoms to ash, and an army unlike anything the realm has ever witnessed.

Thoughts

I am just as excited as everyone else to read the next project from Victoria Aveyard. Her Red Queen series was so hyped and so popular that I am quite curious as to how this book will measure up to her other series. I personally had some mixed feelings about the Red Queen series, but I enjoyed the series overall. I am excited to see where she takes things in this new series.

~~~~~

My husband. My monster.

The truth isn’t always what it seems.

Lia doesn’t realize that, but she will. Soon.

I chose this life. This road. This twisted arrangement.

For her, I made a deal with the devil.

For her, I toyed with fate and death.

There’s no going back.

I stole her and like any thief, I won’t return her.

Lia is my addiction. My obsession. My love.

Mine.

Thoughts

I will read anything that this author writes! I have loved every single book of hers that I have read. Her brand of dark fantasy is definitely my jam. This is the final book in a trilogy and I am so ready for the ending!
