Bloodwitch by Susan Dennard (The Witchlands #3)

Man! that book took me a while to read, but for a good reason! 
I did not want to miss anything - the plot, the details, the main characters and the descriptions of the surroundings. Dennard is an amazing word as well as a world builder! I am thoroughly amazed. I took my time starting the book and then when the last chapters came, I finished the book wanting to know more. 

 I am not satisfied, I want to know more. I want the main characters to meet TOGETHER. The four characters whom I came to know, to learn and to love. Even Aeduan, who I was so apprehensive about in book one and a little in book 2. These characters are so well written. The details are meticulous. 

 Reading a Witchland book is like going on a journey, on an adventure with each character; Safiyya as the court's truthwitch with Vaness, Merik with Esme (SHE IS PSYCHO WHO SHOULD BE DEAD), Kullen/Fury (BASTIEN?what) with Esme and with the Raider King, Iseult and Aeduan, with Owl and Blueberry and they are later joined with Leopold. You switch scenes and characters each chapter, this is a writing technique that I do love and appreciate, especially if it is well written. It keeps you on edge and you don't forget what is happening to your characters. 

 The ending, well the truths were been revealed obviously shocked me but twists I did not expect were Habim and Matthew's plan, Rokesh stealing Safi's telescope, the monks going against Nomatsi and the Rook King killing Stix. WHAT was that? Who is he? Soooo many questions! 
Good thing we have two books coming up, well we have to wait a lot but I know it will be worth it. 

 I just want our newly threadheart to meet again and of course, Merik getting out of whatever chill situation he got in and meet his golden hair heart. I hoooope Aeduan finds Merik, as Iseult found Safi. It was such a beautiful reunion. I couldn't help smiling!

 See you next year, Iseult, Aeduan, Safi and Merik! 😁

Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead Book Review

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #3 EPIC-TASTIC FINALE  I took my time with this one. It was worth savouring each page. I can't express how much I love this series. Magnus, Samirah, Blitz, Hearth, Mallory, T.J and Half-born have become my friends (in my head). The book has the typical Riordan's ingredients. It is hilarious, the adventures just don't stop, the actions even how gruesome it is, you are not horrified, you root for the characters, the plot has a flow and you learn tons on specific mythology, and this case, it's on Norse.  I could not help myself picturing Loki, Odin, Thorn, Heimdall and Frigg as the actors in Marvel's Thor. Though picturing Thor, Chris Hemsworth as a Metallica fan who likes to fart a lot was hard. I had to stretch my imagination there.  I won't summarise the story - those who read the first two will know what is going to happen in this and why our young (mostly dead heroes) are hell-bent in stopping Loki's

Summoned to Thirteenth Grave Book Review

Charlie Davidson Series, Book 13 (Last one) I DON'T WANT IT TO END!  I delayed so much reading this one because I did not want it to end. I want more. It ended with a cliffhanger though. WHERE'S OSH? DID HE SWITCHED SIDE? We need Osh and a Beep story, like 18years later. I am sad that Charlie and Reyes couldn't be 'normal' parents. But they are here for her, a safe haven.  As usual, Charlie's character is a breath of fresh air. You love her even if she's annoying or keeps naming things/locations/body anatomies with ridiculous names. Reyes is just Reyes. This man makes me hyperventilate every time his dimple or smirk is mentioned. The man is among the top shelves male characters along with Bones from Night Huntress, Barrons from Fever Series, Kaleb from Psy-changeling series and Raphael from Guild Hunter series. TOP SHELF, ma man!  After 13 books, you tend to be familiar with Darynda's writing style and the flow of the plot. As usual, there i

Vortex Visions Book Review

Vortex Visions, Book one of the Vortex Chronicles Reading Vortex Visions was like coming back to a place you visited a long time ago. I loved Air Awakens books, with Vhalla and Aldrik. Elise Kova knows how to create worlds and inhuman creatures that become normal for you, such as in the Loom Chronicles. And I expected the same with Vortex Visions, Elise definitely delivered.  Vhalla, being one of my favourite female book characters, it was pretty normal that I love her daughter. She is a good mix of Aldrik and Vhalla. I nearly forgot the promise Vhalla made to Sehra. I'm glad it was not shown how it happened, I wouldn't bear watching Aldrik and Vhalla letting go of Vi. Anyway, few first pages of the book and I was already hooked. We heard about and met the original characters. We met new characters that slowly became my favourites as well, except Andru. His first expression got me suspicious and I nearly hated him.  I must say it took me a while to understand that Romu
