6 Reasons Why You Should Read Django Wexler’s The Shadow Campaigns

October 1, 2021 by Eleni A.E. 1 Comment

Hello again dear reader/listener, today I offer you something a little different from a review. The reason being that I am currently rereading one of my favorite series, and I thought, rather than review the single instalments of it now for FanFiAddict, why don’t I share some reasons why you should read this kick-ass series […]

Review: Artifact Space (Arcana Imperii #1) by Miles Cameron

August 30, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The protagonist, Marca Nbaro, practically hits the ground running right from the get go and along with her, the reader is propelled into a plot full of character interactions you live for, a long list of mysteries waiting to be solved, and a brand new fascinating world whose main undercurrent is hope, learning to trust others, and the beauties of trading cultures.

Review: The Wood Bee Queen by Edward Cox

August 16, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The Wood Bee Queen by Edward Cox is a standalone fantasy reminiscent of old folktales sprinkled with classic fantasy tropes and some Ancient Greek/Roman mythology homages (or Easter eggs if you like). It is also a portal fantasy, which I haven’t read in quite some time, and that definitely catered to some of the nostalgia from my early teens. Through it, Cox tackles timeless themes of good vs evil, blind religious faith, petty/whimsical gods, and the importance of stories, as well as making one’s own decisions without letting others sway you for their gain.

Review: Bright Steel (Masters & Mages #3) by Miles Cameron

August 5, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Overall this series has been rife with full tilt action, character and magic badassery, camaraderie moments to die for, and plenty of soft, humorous, and quiet snippets between duos or trios that warm your chest. Cameron’s world has been one that is truly so rich and evocative, borrowing from a cultural setting that isn’t used often enough in fiction.

Review: The Blacktongue Thief (Blacktongue #1) by Christopher Buehlman

July 30, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

This book is absolutely *hilarious*, mostly in a darkly comedic sort of way mind you. Truly, I found myself chuckling right from the first pages at Kinch’s snark and commentary. Sometimes I caught myself laughing really loud too and that was definitely what I wanted as a low effort read these days.

A Summer Reread TBR List

April 5, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello dear reader (or listener), and welcome to my first post for FanFiAddict! I’m rather excited to be here but I also lack a book to review at the moment of writing this – which is no biggie, those will come soon enough – so I thought, why not talk about something I’ve been looking forward to doing for months. A while back I decided in fact to devote my summer to rereading some of my favorite series, which I’ve not properly reread from beginning to end in years! Also, I say summer, but what I really mean is probably starting mid-May once I’m done with my degree. So come along and let me share with you why I am drawn back to these four worlds over and over, hopefully you’ll be intrigued enough to want to visit them yourself for the first time.
