Lies woven in blood are lines waiting to be crossed. Lin is a competent, dedicated soldier but his mission takes a drastic turn when one of his charges is found murdered. Soon after, he is ambushed by magic-twisted monsters, gravely wounded, and abandoned by his one remaining ally. Waking to find his injuries healed by forbidden magic, Lin is marked as an oathbreaker by the very laws and beliefs he upholds. Lin soon finds his faith in the faction he’s lived his life upholding tested by the woman who saved him from the brink of death.

Revisado: 04-18-25
This is a reread for me, but this time by audiobook and it was incredible to hear this story come to life with Simon Alison narrating. What a perfect choice!
The author weaves such an emotional tale and Simon captured every nuance.
If you haven't read Lin's story, you're missing out on a descriptive tale, a super cool world and magic system, characters that will both surprise and incense you, and an ending that will make you immediately want to start book 2.

That was what the Order preached to unite the people against the undying—the same mantra the rebels used to rally against the Skeleton King’s tyrannical rule. But for estranged sisters Threyna and Laela, forced unity might be even more disastrous than division. Ten years after losing everything, Threyna is now a hardened rebel. After acquiring the Skeleton King’s cursed blood magic, she has vowed to overthrow his corrupt rule, even if it costs her soul. Laela, once her ally, has abandoned the doomed rebellion, preparing to lead a mass exodus from the cursed island in search of new beginnings.

Dark fantasy done right!
Revisado: 01-23-25
I haven't read the series A Vengeful Realm so the fact that this is the prequel can be good and bad. I know I missed out on some connections I would have made if I'd read the series first BUT I also was thrown in two feet into the deep world building that Tim writes.
I love a good estranged sister story and this dark and adventurous tale is no joke!
Breaking apart but then coming together for the good of all to, of course, defeat the crazy Skeleton King, their story is both heartbreaking and inspiring!
The characters are rich and well developed and I just plain loved the story.
I'm excited to now pick up where this ends and read The Vengeful Realm!
The audiobook narration was really wonderfully done. The production was clear and Landon does excellent voices!

Great Narration
Revisado: 01-20-25
Epic fantasy in full effect! Big sweeping world building, strong character voices and a story of Arthur and the fight of their lives. Magic and mystery abound here and we see the development of a company of men and strange allies joining to defeat the great darkness coming.
I listened by audiobook and with the addition of songs throughout, the narrator does a great job of all the voices. Quality of production is also very good. This was an audiobook I couldn't speed up beyond 1.5 or I lost the flow. Slowing down really gave depth to the narration.

What a great first book in a series
Revisado: 12-02-24
I really enjoyed this audioiobook! The narrators Megan Carver and Benjamin Farmer really nailed the pacing and gave us the right amount of emotion. I couldn't stop listening and blew through this story in 2 sittings.
The story itself was terrific! Several POVs, which always brings depth to the story, and lots of intrigue! I loved the characters and especially the sentient ships! The enemies to loves trope isn't overdone here. It's expertly wielded to balance the dangerous situations the cast of characters are facing.
I'm super excited about the next book and I hope we get the same narrators for the audiobook!

SO Well Done!
Revisado: 11-04-24
Listening to this audiobook was wonderful! The clarity and quality was top tier. The narrator Magnus Carlsson, really understood the story and had such emotion in their voice.
This book deals with some dark subjects (loss of a child and partner, religious beliefs) but handles it with dignity.
There was a lot to love about this scifi/fantasy novel. It's an interesting mix of a couple of styles and I feel like Katee is finding her voice as an author.
We have characters that don't always do the right things, act with haste and have regrets. You know...like real humans! I think the characters are the real strength here....they are complex and developed. I loved the sacrifices the author makes them experience. It brings realness to the story.
The villains aren't that villainous and I would have loved to see some real scary stuff in the next installment to this duology!

In the heart of Adenashire, where elfish enchantments and dwarven delights rule, Arleta Starstone, a human confectionist works twice as hard perfecting her unique blend of baking and apothecary herbs. So when an orc neighbor secretly enters her creations into the prestigious Elven Baking Battle, Arleta faces a dilemma. Being magicless, her participation in the competition could draw more scowls than smiles. And if Arleta wants to prove her talent and establish her culinary reputation, this human will need more than just her pastry craft to sweeten the odds.

Cozy and delicious!
Found friendships, fated love, discovering talents and self confidence!
This is a wonderful fantasy featuring Arleta, a human baker, who gets swept up into an Elven baking contest. She's up against talented magical beings and thwarted by a devious judge. Will she win? Is that even the real prize?
The relationship between Arleta and Theo was sweet...if rushed at the end. I'm all for slow burn but some burn is better than none.
The side characters are the real draw for me as they often are. I'm hoping we see more of them in the next installments of the Fellowship!
I really enjoyed this read and look forward to more.

The empire of Eisa once stood as a symbol of hope for purging the wicked magic that had plagued its lands. But when Wielders are spotted within those borders, the sanctity that once acted as an unshakable foundation crumbles beneath Sorrel Zdraevit's feet. With the resurgence of Wielders on Eisan soil, protests are increasing in the streets, citizens are suffering, and everywhere she turns tragedy fractures the facade of peace that had sheltered her.

Well Done!
Revisado: 09-10-24
I enjoyed this immersive tale so much!
Marissa does a wonderful job with prose and descriptive storytelling. This is a big epic novel, maybe a touch too long but it does totally engage the reader.
Sorrell's story of magic, family, healing and betrayal captures the essence of the Romanov family time period.
I'm very interested to see where the next book takes Sorrell and her family.
The audiobook was simply SO WELL DONE by Cheryl-Annette Parker. Loved all the voices created for the characters and the pacing was spot on.
