Sara Machado

It took one novella and one full novel to put Alexandra Vasti on my favorite Regency Romance writers list!

Ne'er Duke Well is full of wonderful characters, strong leads, amazing chemistry (and spice), all wrapped up in an interesting story that surprises by escaping the traditional conflicts in the genre.

This was an absolute delight do read! Funny, light and heartwarming, but most of all, it felt like a refreshing take in the genre. I do hope Alexandra keeps writing in this world because I NEED more of it, desperately.

If you like regency romances, please make sure you give this one a try!

I would like to thank Atlantic Books | Corvus and Netgalley for the for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah Adams is the Queen of fluffy romcoms and sweet fictional men.

I was in the perfect mood for this, but it doesn't hurt either that it includes some of my favorite tropes in romance:
- Second chance
- “Intrusive” friends antics
- There is only one bed!
- Empowered FMC

I really liked the characters and how their relationship evolved, particularly because of how they supported each other feelings, failures and successes, representing what I picture as a healthy power couple. I also loved Nora's relationship with her mother, it was beautiful.

“I'm at your feet Nora, if you want me, I'm yours.” If she doesn't want you Derek, I want you

I am unsure how to rate this book because it was both entertaining and annoying in equal measures, but I absolutely inhaled the story, which is a great testament to Mary Balogh's writing.

I haven't read historical romances in a while, and when Pulka Dotts suggested some books for a buddy read, this one sounded right up my alley. And it was, but only parts of it.

Slightly Married has several things that I adore:
- Fierceness independent and kind FMC, with a huge heart, marrying above her station and being presented to the ton, and being a success while doing it, despite her humble origins.
- Kind and honourable MMC that takes pride in doing what is he feels is right and keeps treating the female lead as “my wife”. I can't explain my reaction to this, but I love it, just alongside MMC's ensuring the FMC is warm.

Slightly Married has a very strong beginning, but then Aiden proceeds as if he suffered a brain transplant and becomes quite rude. Their relationship becomes a bit toxic, which together with the miscommunication/ lack of communication made me loose interest in their HEA. Additionally, I hated their other love interests and I wish this was excluded from the plot. In my opinion, we had already enough conflicts to ensure an engaging plot.

Miscommunication is my pet peeve and therefore, I cannot be impartial on this subject. However, I believe it could have worked fine if it was a shorter book, but the story ended up feeling it was dragging as it was obvious everything would be fixed immediately if they talked.

Despite not loving the romance, I'm quite happy with the ending of their love story. Additionally, I was so entertained while reading it that I will definitely read more by Mary Balogh.

I had tons of fun with The foxglove king, and the exact same thing happened with its sequel, The Hemlock Queen. In an over saturated market of romantasy, this story feels original to me, and I'm invested in the series.

The story picks up immediately after the events of the first book, and we immediately start learning more about the magic, the gods and their power.

The pace of this book was a bit slower than I would have preferred, but the worldbuilding and plot remain interesting, full of manipulation, scheming and twists. I must say Hannah Whitten is doing a great job regarding the character development. I care so so much for everyone (of the good guys) in this story that it's almost unbearable.

For the romantasy readers, the tension and angst in this book is palpable and off the charts. I had so many feelings, particularly regarding one particular character who is making my heart ache. I'm devastated!

I've said on my first foxglove king review that I hate love triangles but that Hannah put me on board for a poli relationship between Lore, Bastian and Gabe. I'm even more on board for it now! I love them all and I just want to see these damaged characters healing and experiencing a bit of happiness. Unfortunately, I'm not convinced there would be a HEA in sight, but I'll have to wait and see.

I can't wait to see what Hannah is planning for the third book!

I would like to thank Little, Brown Book Group UK | Orbit and Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

It was with a bittersweet feeling that I read the last book in the Bergman Brothers series. Viggo's story, although much anticipated by me, marks the farewell to this family, which I've followed since 2020, and which I wouldn't have minded being a part of.

It was a tender and heart-warming ending, and it is without a doubt one of my favourite Chloe books.

This series has made me look at myself and some of my characteristics and peculiarities through different eyes, and for that I will always be grateful to Chloe.

I went on the hype train with Christopher and it was a hell of a ride. I was hooked from the first chapter and devoured the book as fast as I possibly could, which means I'm currently very sleep deprived so I apologize if this is not the most coherent review.

This book has everything I love in fantasy: interesting magic system with a huge development potential, political intrigue, friendship, betrayals, mystery and a great title. This book reminded me a lot of other books, but if feels original and it was flawlessly executed. James Islington writing is very captivating and I loved how he guides us through the story-line, and how he plants clues and the seeds for future expansion.

I absolutely love the reluctant hero trope and Vis is no exception! He was one of my favorite things in the book and I loved to see everything unfold through his eyes. Although he's a bit of a Gary Sue, he's so instantly likable that I'm prepared to defend his honor to anyone who dares criticize him. I can't wait to keep seeing him grow into the amazing leader we already know he is.

The ending?? It's obviously a cliffhanger but it was incredibly good and I can't wait to see how everything will unfold.

The Will of the Many will live rent free in my brain until the second installment is out (I need it desperately).

This is a MUST read for Fantasy readers and I would advise you to go in as blind as you possibly can.

P.S - I have minor issues with the female characters in this book. I don't think James Islington did a great job describing them... they all have cascading hair (which may be brown, red and probably blond, but I'm not even sure). To be completely honest, they could be interchangeable and read mostly the same to me, except we are supposed to like some more than the others. However, we do have women in the story, and they have roles (albeit limited) besides looking pretty, working in pubs or being SA, so all in all, I can't complain.
I'm curious to know how he's going to develop their future roles as the whole society is highly patriarchal (this is no surprise as it is based on Roman Empire), but the school setting gives as a false sense of equality.

Happy medium was the perfect mix of funny, heartwarming, and enchanting, all wrapped up with an original plot for the seamless rom-com recipe.
Grenchem was raised to be a con artist and earns her living pretending to speak with ghosts. In an surprising turn of events, she ends up in haunted farm speaking with a real ghost, trying to convince a sceptic tattooed farmed that this time she is telling the true.

I was utterly charmed by Gretchen and Charlie! Their banter was great, and their chemistry was off the charts. I must admit that at some point I was a bit worried with Charlie's behaviour, but he does have a wonderful heart that won me over completely.

Everett was the best character and absolutely steals the show!

I would like to Quercus Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this eARC in exchange for an honest an honest review.

P.S: As a former big4 consultant, I feel obliged to defend their honour and tell you that absolutely no one working in Deloitte, PwC, EY or KPMG would ever go to a bar wearing clothes with the company's logo, much less bet $1,000 on whichever... everyone is usually too overworked, and value their hard-earned salary too much.

Although I'm a long time fan of Chloe Liese, the mixed reviews I've seen for this book led me to believe I wouldn't enjoy it, but I actually liked it quite a lot!

Chloe is amazing creating stories around diverse characters and Better Hate Than Never was no exception. This book includes ADHD, demisexual(I need so much more of this) and chronic pain (migraines) representation, and I believe it was done rather well.

Kate is far from my favorite type of character, but her characteristics are aligned with ADHD and, although it's a bit triggering for me at times, I learned to like her. It is worth noting that Kate evolves quite a bit after deciding she is willing to trust and be more open about herself.

Chris was the big surprise for me in this book! I've seen so many bad comments on him, about the way he treated Kate, and how he was having sex with other women all the time, that I had very low expectations about him. To be totally honest, I loved Chris! I didn't think he treated Kate that bad, particularly considering how mean she was to him all the time, and her comments were less reasonable and somewhat childish. I feel some readers are shaming Chris sex life, which is far from central in the story, and seeing his behavior as particularly extreme as opposed to Kate's demisexual experience.

Anyway, Chris admits he was wrong, apologises and makes everything imaginable to change Kate's opinion of him. He gives her all the time she needs, goes to therapy, feeds her and does her laundry, and nothing can be sexier than this.

Plus, absolutely no one writes ongoing consent like Chloe Liese.

I'm now very in the mood to re-watch “10 things I hate about you”

I can't remember the last time it took me this long to read a book, but this was not a bad thing. Robin's writing just demands time, attention, appreciation and I loved every bit of it.

Royal Assassin takes over immediately after the first book, but with an even better plot: more intrigue, more secrets, more magic, more lies, more bonds, more love, more surprises, more tension, more everything. It played with my emotions close to an unbearable level. I wanted to scream at the characters and throw my kindle to the floor. And although I was 100% sure I was going to pause the Farseer trilogy, to read something else in between, I'm not sure I'm able to do it, I need to know the rest of the story.

This was truly great! More thoughts to come (maybe)

I have enjoyed everything Kate Clayborn has written so far, and this was another win for me. However, I believe opinions on this book will significantly vary according to readers mood/ perception of the story.

Although The Other Side of Disappearing is a Romance, with traditional Dual POV, HEA and familiar tropes, the romance does not feel like the central issue of the Story. Instead, we are transported to Jess's life to discover what happened to her mother and her con boyfriend, after they disappeared 10 years ago.

The mistery was interesting, the romance sweet, but the relationship that shines the most is the one between sisters. The Other Side of Disappearing is more of a journey of self-discovering, healing and family ties, supported by an achingly sweet and lovable MMC, with his own healing journey ahead.

I would like to thank Little, Brown Book Group UK, Piatkus and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this eARC in exchange for an honest an honest review.

Side note: Most of this book happens on the character's heads, and I think this was rather done well. However, I wish we could have seen the farm bits while they were happening, instead of being told. I think this would have made their love story more intense and believable.

Before I let Go Was my favorite romance published in 2022, it was also the first book I read by Kennedy Ryan. To say I was impressed with her it would be an understatement, she wrote everything I was missing in the genre: a story about about real life, family, healing, forgiveness and second chances. A story of adults that think about their life, the decisions they make, and the consequences that those decisions have for them and others.

In summary, I became a fan of Kennedy Ryan, and when I saw This Could be Us was being published, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to read it. Particularly, being Soledad's story, a character that I already admired from the first book.

What a wonderful story this was! It's again very raw, feels very real, and it's filled with important messages we tend to forget: how we can always start again, how we should value ourselves and be confident, and most importantly, how we need to learn and be comfortable alone, finding our own balance, prior to sharing a life with others.

I loved both characters, admired their strength and how they valued and prioritized their families. I'm also more than half in love with Judah!

I would like to thank Little, Brown Book Group UK, Piatkus and Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review

This was one of the cutest romances that I've read. How could I not enjoy a love story between two bookish people?

Lilly and Nick's romance is essentially divided in two parts, a first one told in an epistolary style, and the second part in New York.
I am very partial to stories told in epistolary as characters feel more comfortable sharing pieces of themselves through writing. There is just less room to think about how they could be judged and analyzed because they are not facing each other, which ultimately exacerbates their connection and romantic tension.

I loved both characters from the start, particularly Lilly, and enjoyed seeing them grow into their best selves.

This book is full of delightful secondary characters and I can't wait to read Lilly's sister stories.

Fathomfolk is a uniquely imagined fantasy novel, full of political intrigue and social commentary. The story happens in Tiankwani, a drowning city where humans and fanthomfolk live in a post-war environment. To aggravate the already existent tension between species, Humans have polluted the oceans (does this sound familiar?

Happy UK publication day for my favorite romance of the year

Charlie boy ♥️

My review could only say his name and it would be enough to describe my feelings.

I cried a bit, and then I cried some more, and when I thought I was all cried out, I wasn't.
I don't know if I related more to this characters, or if it was because of the story in particular, but it doesn't really matter. This was PERFECT!

Thank you B. K. Borinson for giving us Lovelight and all of these wonderful characters that truly feel like family.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Pan Macmillan and Netgalley for the eARC! All the thoughts are my own!

Tia Williams, what am I supposed to say about this?

This book starts as a 5 stars read to me because it just speaks to my Lindy Hopper soul. While everyone raves about Taylor Swift references on books, I just can't resist to jazz, swing and Harlem in the 20's.

A love song to Ricki Wilde has a bit of everything: magic, found family, mental health representation and a beautiful love story of 2 star crossed lovers.
I loved Ricki's personality, her perseverance and how she was able to overcome her insecurities and perceived/ imprinted flaws.
Ezra was a great character as well. I loved every bit of the story where he appears, but particularly his background.

The first half of the story was brilliantly executed. I was captivated by both characters, I was engaged in their story-line and I was very curious about how everything was going to be connected. The second part though... I felt the romance lacked some tension and I ended up not loving how the story was tied up. It felt a bit rushed and silly.

My pet peeve with Tia's books is the excessive amount of clothes descriptions. This was ok on the past bits, because it helps you picture everything, and it's actually not overdone on that part... but in the present? Please save me from this. I understand she was/ is a style editor but if I wanted to read about fashion I would just buy fashion magazines. I really don't think this adds anything to the plot and it actually hurts my perception of the characters personality.

This book deserved a playlist. I'll assume this role for Tia and leave here some suggestions:
1 – In a sentimental mood - Duke Ellington
2 – Take the “A” train - Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington
3 - Caroline Shout - James P. Johnson
4 – Honeysuckle Rose – Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie
5 - Stompin at the Savoy – Benny Goodman
6 – It don't mean A Thing (if it ain-t got that swing) - Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington
7 – Ev'ry time we say goodbye – Ella Fitzgerald
8 – I'm beginning to see the light - Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington
9 – Sing, Sing, Sing – Benny Goodman
10 – Two Sleepy people – Fats Waller
11 – Exactly like you – Martha Tilton, The Carl Kresstette
I'm well aware most of this songs are from the late 30's. I love the instrumental versions from the 20's but I'm very partial to the wonder that is Ella's voice.

Bride of death follows the story of Zerrin, a girl said to be touched by the devil, and seen as ill luck for all that have contact with her. Despite her difficulties being accepted in the community, Zerrin falls in love, and ends up in a quest to save her love, her family and her home.

I was a bit divided with this book because it was a brilliant idea that I feel it could have been better executed. However, I decided to improve the rating for 4 starts because I did like this story very much, and ultimately I felt I was being the mean professor giving a lower rate because the student has the potential to do more.

What I loved in the story:
- I really appreciated the F. M. Aden writing style. I think it was beautiful and added to the story atmosphere and worldbuilding. It captured my attention from the beginning, and I definitely want to read more by her.
- I like fairytales and myths-based stories, and I've never read one based on Turkic Mythology. I think it's great to bring this to the mass market.
- The story was exciting and filled with interesting characters. Moreover, I was surprised by most of the events, which doesn't happen that often.
- Bride of Death really does have wonderful characters, but Elrik wins the prize for the best one. I think he was quite well written, and Aden was able to influence my emotions towards him in a drastic way.
- I loved Zerryn caring nature and how she used it to befriend everyone, using what would traditionally be seen as a weakness as one of her main strengths. Also, it's really nice to see female friendships blossom, the world needs more of this!
- I would have liked to see one thing done differently in the end, but it was a fitting finale for the story, and I respect the author's choice.
- The author/ editor / publisher incorporated some of the criticisms made by early reviewers. My ARC doesn't have smut, piercings, or anything particularly modern. The story flows naturally, the writing is consistent along the book, and all sexual scenes are quite tasteful and well written, with nothing too explicit. Honestly, it was quite good and proof that less is often more.

I see two major issues with this book:
- The marketing made comparing it with The Bear and the Nightingale was probably a disservice. I've never read it (I really want to though), but I heard nothing but praise for it. It's never fair to compare books to something that is regarded as somewhat a masterpiece in the genre. It will inevitably raise expectations to levels difficult to fulfill.
- The plot lacked a bit of development. We needed to see more details of Zerryn while growing up to understand her magic and her relationship with the community. We also needed to see more of her and Çelik together, and see their love grow.
As it was, although F. M. Aden does a brilliant job making us like Zerryn, we never truly see her life unfold and how she adjusted to a community that would always look at her sideways. We also never see how Çelik and Zerryn relationship worked. It is easy to understand her love for him as she was mostly an outcast and would easily become dependent on anyone who would give her time and attention. Because we are told, rather than see her life and relationships, we end up losing some of the tension it should have been created. The stakes never seemed high enough to me, because I was under the impression she was an unreliable narrator, and convinced from the beginning everyone would be unworthy. This was a great opportunity for Zerryn character development on the second and third part of the book, instead of a rushed thing in the end.

I did enjoy the book and I believe this story will remain in my memory

It took me a long while to pick up one of Robin's books, but it was so worthy. She's a brilliant author and a master storyteller, and I only wish I have learned of her earlier in my life.

The writing is stunning, the world building is very interesting, but the best part is the character development. Robin's writing really shines in this!

Assassin's apprentice is a great beginning to the series. It's the coming of age story of Fitz, which reminded me a lot of Kvothe but better. Now I can add 15 more books to my TBR list... and the best news is that it is finished!

In a surprising turn of events Misery is tall! Can you believe it? Lowe is taller, obviously, but I never felt the overwhelming towering sensation! Overall, the fit was right so... well done Ali!

Another surprising thing: Misery was actually smart and able to figure out things by herself! I really am proud of you Ali!

Bride has more plot than I expected, and readers who enter it expecting a major focus on romance might end up being slightly disappointed. I didn't love the world building, but the story and romance flowed nicely.

This was, above all, a very entertaining read. I have no complaints on the smut side either, which usually is one of my main issues with Ali's books.

I binge read it and it was tons of fun!

The chemistry of familiar objects it's an adorable regency novella, with an unconventional heroine and her extreme opposite hero. I really liked the writing style and felt the relationship was quite well developed for such a short book

Robert is everything I adore in heroes: protective and utterly smitten by the heroine, caring and willing to learn and adjust.

“You are the first thing I think of when I wake. For years now. First—you. And then everything else. You are my dawn.”

Did I mention he writes children's books? Robert must be protected at all costs!

If you need something light, short and easy, with a beautiful love story and palpable attraction between the characters, this is it!

P.S: Robert mentions something in the book that I feel it Kees being too real:

“I suppose I thought that if someone bought a book of moral lessons for a child without even investigating what it contained, then that child deserved . . . something special on the inside. Something magical.”

I read a lot of child stories, and I have been feeling that most of them are full of moral lessons. I understand the importance of those, but I wish I would see more books full with something magical. Can we turn Robert into a real person please?

So... House of Flame and Shadow... One week later and I'm still not sure where to start and what to write on this review. The short summary is: I didn't like it.

Some might say it's an issue about expectations, but it is not.

I agree that the passage of time between the publication of books in the same series for highly acclaimed writers can be problematic. Readers have the time for their imagination to run wild, leading to the creation of endless theories that can easily culminate in heartbreak, because no author can ever fulfil the enormity of the expectations created. This might be the case for George R. R. Martin, and Patrick Rothfuss, but I don't see it as a problem for Sarah, for several reasons:
• not that much time passed between publications.
• I love her books but, in my opinion the world she has created doesn't have the same depth as the examples given to reach the same level of theories circulating.
• I had a total amount of zero theories for this book. I had some things that I would have liked to see, but nothing that would dramatically affect my enjoyment of the book. I think she is a wonderful storyteller and I just wanted to enjoy the ride towards the happy ending.

I have one main issue with the book: Bryce became the greatest alphahole and single-handedly ruined the whole story.

This is the only trope I truly hate. I just can't stand a Mary/ Gary Sue and honestly, I see it as a lack of effort because it's much easier to defeat the evil if you are insanely powerful.

SJM is well known for creating over-powerful FMC, but this doesn't particularly bother me because they usually train and have a bit of time to grow into that power. This, however, didn't happen to Bryce. She just kept acquiring power, and immediately dominating it, doing everything by instinct.
This was particularly annoying to me as SJM created Bryce as someone with barely any magic, and even after she acquired some power, it served mostly as an enhancer/ enabler of other's magic (particularly Hunt), which was a much more unique concept, and one that I would have liked to see.

Crescent City was a series with a major focus on mental health. It had amazing descriptions of living with depression, regrets, and grief, and I loved that the main couple's relationship was based on acceptance of each other past, and support of each other feelings.
Somehow, we moved from this acceptance and support, to absolutely dismissing Hunt's feelings. I just can't accept that a character that spent more than 200 years suffering, and 3 books being tortured and having his wings cut, could not have a single moment to be traumatized, sad and scared. Moreover, he was a general before, but he could only contribute with one opinion in the whole plan, because obviously, all 25-year-olds know best. What is the purpose of having centenary people around if you are not going to use their knowledge. Bryce is not only overpowered, but outsmarts everyone which is absolutely unrealistic.

The writing was bad, the change on POV messy, and some character's ARC were awful.

Lidia and Ruhn were the only good thing in this book.


First thoughts:
Uff, it's over. RTC after collecting my thoughts

I often wonder what counts when reviewing a book. My enjoyment? Certainly! The execution? Sure! Is it well written? Great! Does it have to be or feel like something new? What if it is badly written and I like it all the same? Am I as a non native English speaker aware of the subtleties of writing in this language?

My mind circles back to these questions even more when I read romances. Firstly, because it's a genre where the execution matters a lot. We all know the ending and that makes the journey to the HEA the most important bit. Secondly, I am absolutely incapable of reading romances on my native language. Written Portuguese can be so so beautiful, but these love stories, that I love so much, read very cringe to me. I would definitely continue to give lower ratings to romances if I read them on my native language.

Anyway, this brings me to The true love experiment review, and I don't know how to rate it.

Is it well written? Definitely, Christina Lauren are brilliant romance writers and I love their stories. I even liked this one more than the previous release.

Was it well executed? Certainly! I loved the first 30%, and even when I wasn't enjoying the story as much, I was still invested on the journey.

Did it sound like something new? It was a story I never read before. I particularly liked that this book works like and ode to the romance genre and romance readers. It's unfortunate that this genre keeps being underappreciated and

Were the characters interesting and relatable? I liked them both! I liked Connor more on the beginning but ended up liking Fizzy very much.

Why do I have doubts though? I'm just unhappy with the overall love story. Connor never put himself in a vulnerable position and ended with a HEA, while having zero ownership of it. Honestly, I don't think I ever felt so disappointed with a male character, and thus I don't know how to rate it.

Ultimately, I believe a good romance convinces me the couple is perfect for each other and I don't think I am there with this book.

Do I recommend it? Absolutely! The duo is great and I read it in almost one sitting. What didn't work for me might work for other readers

I had so much fun with this book!

The setting was dark, the magic system interesting and I've felt engaged in the story from the beginning. It was so easy to care for the characters! How could I not fall for them when all three are broken, unloved, and know nothing besides distrust?

The foxglove king had a bit of everything: court politics, intrigue, cults, obcessive religious beliefs and behaviors.

The Foxglove king has one trope I hate - love triangle - but I've found myself completely on board with it, and although I'm biased towards one of the characters, I would be totally on board with a poly relationship in this series

Delphine dies, and when she meets the one in the afterlife, she is given the opportunity to return to earth and find him. If he kisses her, she gets to stay.

This book is adorable, it really is. Delphine is a bit too quirky for me, but I loved everything else.
The story has a great cast of characters, it's lighthearted and fun.

It's the true definition of a romcom! Absolutely recommended for the fans of the genre.

I would like to thank Random House UK, Cornerstone and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

P.S - This review is very short because I believe the less you know about this book the better. It was a nice surprise for me, and it wouldn't have worked so well if I knew more details than the ones given in the blurb.

Being absolutely honest, I feel a bit conflicted about Sunbringer. I loved everything about Godkiller, and although I think Sunbringer it's an interesting follow up book, it just didn't hold the same appeal with me.

Sunbringer starts immediately after Godkiller events, with an additional POV that I loved and added much value to the story. The narrative continues with the remaining characters we already love, but for most of the book, they are apart, and I really wanted more time with them all together. I also wanted more of Kissen, which is my favorite character, and we didn't get to see nearly enough of her. I understand the reason behind it: Inara, Skediceth and Elo need more time to grow into themselves, and I'm loving to read about it, but I miss Kissen (and Legs too! Why would you make the horse suffer Hannah? Why?)

The book is slower paced than Godkiller and has significant less action during the first half of it, which affected my overall enjoyment of the story. I could see that Hannah was moving all the pieces for an epic ending, but I just wasn't curious enough to know it and struggled to get going.

Hannah is making a terrific job writing Fallen Gods characters, and this remains my favorite bit of the series. I'm loving to see their change and growth, from the main characters to the villains. I also love the premise around the Gods and their power source, which I believe it is a great foundation for interesting conversations around religion and beliefs.

That said, the ending is quite good and worthy of my struggle. Although I've guessed the twists, that didn't affect my appreciation for the story, and I will be waiting expectantly for the next installment of Fallen Gods.

I cannot review this series and not comment on the stellar representation included in it. This is wonderfully done.

I would like to thank HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction, HarperVoyager and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this eARC in exchange for an honest an honest review.

This book was fantastic! Being the author's debut, I can't wait to see what Hanna will bring us next! One thing is certain though, Hanna is a great addition for the fantasy genre, and will surely secure a place among the greatest.

I loved everything about Godkiller:
- cover: I don't usually comment on this but I couldn't ignore this one. It's stunning! And the texture? I don't know if the regular edition has the same feeling but the illumicrate one is so soft that I just don't want to stop touching the book (and I read it on kindle
