This book is Too Much but I still liked it.

The Memory of Souls (A Chorus of Dragons, #3) by Jenn Lyons

October 29, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

“My brain hurrrts.” Is what I wrote immediately upon finishing this book. I tell you what, there have rarely been series that I feel such weird conflicting thoughts over. I was super peeved at the beginning of this book, getting myself all worked up at how annoyed I was, and then I went and started having a good time with it. Bottom line: This series’ worldbuilding very often gets in the way of it being an enjoyable book to read. There is just WAY too […]

Damned by high expectations – An ARC review

The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons

January 4, 2019 by KatSings Leave a Comment

Full disclosure up front: This was an ARC that I won in a contest on GoodReads. This book is not released until February. I am a HUGE fantasy nerd. The words “epic fantasy series” make me happy. When I won a contest to read what was touted as the fantasy star of 2019, I was thrilled. Then I read the inside cover where it is described as “Uniting the worldbuilding of a Brandon Sanderson with the storytelling verve of a Patrick Rothfuss”and suddenly I was […]
