The vibes of Castlevania plus queer polyamorous vampires.

Silver Under Nightfall (Reaper, #1) by Rin Chupeco

November 21, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

If you’re here for the vibes, you will like this book. I was indeed here for those vibes. I like Castlevania. I like queerness and sexiness. I like a darker fantasy. I like conflicted main characters. But there really isn’t anything here for someone to grab onto if you need more than vibes. I am a little sad to say that it was a more shallow reading experience than I was expecting. I’m saying shallow but clearly I enjoyed myself, with a four star rating. […]

The Suffering

The Suffering by Rin Chupeco

October 1, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

The second book in “The Girl from the Well” series was solid. I think the end dragged a bit and honestly the ending didn’t really work for me. I think I would have preferred if Chupeco had gone another way. Once we read about one ritual that a strong priest or priestess could do, I kind of saw the ending coming a mile away. That said I loved the overall plot of Tark and Okiku returning to Japan to save Kagura well as fight against […]

The Heart Forger

The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco

September 19, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

This just dragged. Having the book written in the past (present) and the future with the bard telling the story was too much. I got so sick of things. The past (present) has not caught up to the future and I don’t know if I have enough in me to continue to even try to read the rest of this series. I do like Chupeco’s writing, but the book gets away from itself so many times. I just didn’t enjoy it that much. I was […]

A fantastic magic system weighed down by an unnecessary narrative structure

The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco

June 5, 2022 by Mobius_Walker 2 Comments

Tea (pronounced “tee-uh”) is a young girl who, up until her older brother’s funeral, was largely unremarkable. But, in a moment of grief, she raised her brother from the dead. This marked her a bone witch, a witch who can work with dark magic to not only raise the dead but command daeva, monsters that roam the world wreaking havoc on innocent civilians. Upon demonstrating her abilities, she is located by an established and powerful bone witch named Lady Mykaela who takes her under her […]
