Pre-Release Readers Wanted!!

Greetings dear readers!! I’m looking for ARC readers for my upcoming book, Son of Lightning.

The bonus is, I’m giving you the first two books in the series for free ;)

What is an ARC reader?

ARCS (Advance Reader Copies) are unpublished copies of a book that go out to a select group of readers to read and review before the book launches to the public.

This is a super important step in the successful launch of a book, because it allows authors to gather early reviews and spread the word about their upcoming release!

Son of Lightning is book 3 in the Descendants of Robin Hood trilogy.

In order to review it, you probably want to read the first two in the series first. But, you don’t have to! In the ARC (advance reader copy) application, I’ve included the option to just receive a synopsis of each book.

So, you can choose whether you’d like to download the other books as ebooks, or just download a synopsis!

Click Here for the ARC Application!

But what’s the series about?

Eight hundred years ago, a powerful sorcerer laid a trap for Robin Hood. But the curse backfired, releasing a burst of pure magic. Robin Hood’s descendants carry this magic as elemental powers.

The two nations of descendants are on the brink of war. Jack’s North Wind power is about to manifest when the rival nation attacks. Now Jack is on the run from the Sheriff, sorcerers, and a mysterious girl of the shadows as he struggles to contain his chaotic power.

As the war deepens, a villain out of legend rises to crush any opposition and claim his immortal throne. But the Sorcerer Gisborne’s plans run much deeper than first believed, and Dark sorcery spreads like a plague.

Follow Jack’s adventure along with a swing-first-ask-questions-later Fire bender, a Lightning bender with a dark secret, and a talking baby panther who is maybe more than meets the eye.

In Book 3…

There’s two sides to every story.

Jack’s victory over Sorcerer Gisborne is bittersweet as he struggles with the grief of Nick’s death to the all-consuming Sorcerer. Nick, buried in his own mind, struggles desperately to maintain his identity as he is pushed deeper and deeper under Gisborne’s control.

Determined that no one else will die, Jack sets off to rescue Natanian from the monsters who kidnapped him. But what he discovers will set off a chain of events far worse than he could dream. As the Ealdra weave corruption through the world, Jack faces a choice between saving his nation, and saving his friends.

ARC REVIEW: Wrath and Wraiths by Andrew Claydon

Chronicles of the Dawnblade Book Four

I have so much to say about this book and ALL of it is good!

If you’ve been following my reviews of this Epic Fantasy Adventure by Andrew Claydon, you’ll know that the beginning of Book 3 had left me a little unsteady about the tone the series was taking, but while ‘The Odd Sea’ recovered in the second half, ‘Wrath and Wraiths” has blown all of my concerns out of the water from Chapter One.

It’s a masterpiece of storytelling, once again filled to the brim with Claydon’s unmistakeably humor. Dry, witty, and a joy to read, and even though the middle of November is the busiest time of my year, once I dipped a toe inside the front cover, I couldn’t stop myself from finishing the whole book.

Especially when, after only two chapters, Nicholas is separated from the rest of the main cast in a way that leaves you utterly on the edge of your seat. I simply couldn’t stop then, I had to keep going to find out how Andrew Claydon was going to fix the mess he’d put Nick in this time!

The poor man never seems to get a break but, by now, he’s beginning to learn how to roll with the punches. Literally! And the character progression is not only wonderfully portrayed, it’s a joy to watch Nick grow into his own a little... while still bumbling through the odd mistake that humanizes him in a way that really makes this whole series a refreshing take on the fantasy genre.

A surprise in book four of the series, was getting a second point of view, but because of the way in which Nick is isolated for a majority of the story, it was also a sorely needed point of view.

For my part, I loved reading some of the story from Shift’s perspective! Not only do I have a soft spot for thieves, getting to see inside the headspace of some of the other characters is always a delight, and seeing them cope (Or NOT cope, as the case may be) with Nick’s untimely absence was as fascinating as it was enlightening.

I do hope the dual POV can be continued in future books, or possibly some other POV’s from other characters if the plot/situation fits.

The plot for book four was incredibly well woven, and tightly put together, but I still spotted a few threads related to Nick’s other compantions that I can see have been left for future books that I cannot wait to find out how the author is going to address.

And since Book 9 is currently being written, I know I have plenty to look forward to. My congratulations go out to Andrew for once again crafting a wonderful piece of storytelling. The paperback will be gracing my bookshelves as soon as release day hits (Counting the days to DECEMBER 4TH!)

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Review: The Drowned Wood by Emily Lloyd-Jones

I hate writing critical reviews, and I know a lot of people are excited about this book, but it fell short of the mark in a number of ways for me. I would really love to see more Welsh fiction written by Welsh ffrindiau

Review: The Drowned Wood by Emily Lloyd-Jones Before I get into the main body of this review of The Drowned Woods by Emily Lloyd-Jones, a little disclaimer: I was sent a pre-release copy of the book by Hodder and Stoughton in exchange for an honest review. But I don’t think I really need that disclaimer, because this review will be very obviously honest. I don’t often write anything close to a…

I finished reading Book 2 in the Fae Thieves and Crowns series by Joanna Reeder and I had the pleasure of reading as an ARC and this book was everything I needed and more from this series. Bellow is my review of the book.

Joanna Reeder has done it again with her gasp worthy scenes, bachelor type tourney for the Prince's heart, a murder mystery and a plot to overthrow the kingdom, with a smidge of romance. In book two we continue where we left off with Amberle spying for the King to see who is fit for his son's heart all while trying to find out who murdered one of her contestant mates and trying not to fall in love with the prince as she is not the one who will win this tourney.

This book was a page turner and I couldn't put it down. I love how it's a fantasy book with romance sprinkled in and no spice but very well written. I am so invested in this story I can't wait for book three to continue this story.

Wildflower Falls by Denise Hunter is a superbly written and engaging story. It follows two sisters as they navigate grief and recent loss, but shares so much more about their lives in their cozy hometown!

now's probably a great time to remind everyone that the QSMP HAS CHILD DEATH.

Child death in the QSMP is a constant threat- now more than ever. The streamers roleplay (and the ccs experience) grief over child death. they are very good roleplayers. it hurts a lot. the QSMP is a fantastic server with some incredible storytelling, but if child death is a trigger or a squick, there is NO shame in stepping back from it or blocking the tag entirely. Child death is one of the biggest “no thank you” subjects in common media- again, there is NO shame in stepping back if this current arc stresses you out too much.

(and warning for people who are already aware that child death isn't for them- we do try to tag for it, but we (i especially) forget a lot and you should proceed with that in mind). anyway have fun curate your online experience to your own needs etc etc

#copy-pasting and modifying an older warning #lets all look at this again shall we #i am SO excited for this arc but also!! i am so scared!!#qsmp

Just finished: The Amendments, Niamh Mulvey. I was sent an advance review copy by picador. It took me a while to warm up to this one, but in the end I really enjoyed the way Mulvey delivers complex difficult emotions using straightforward language, not wallowing in grief but also not flinching away from some of the hardest conversations around birth, death and religion. And I do have a soft spot for Irish writers, and multi-generational stories
