“You refuse all help, reject all hope, and seem intent on living the most abject existence possible. If anyone is punishing you, look inward, not upward.” Abomination – Review at KatsCannon Preface in the name of transparency – I won this book as part of a GoodReads giveaway, courtesy of Inkshares.

3.5 stars Kivrin Engle is a young history student at Oxford University, whose dream it is to time travel back in time to the Middle Ages.

A capable balance of slow-burn romance — which I am ALWAYS here for — with classic historical fantasy elements and political intrigue, the series is mature, clever, complex, and, above all, utterly engrossing. Across nearly […]
