5 SFF Manga Series for Beginners

by Leave a Comment

2021 has been the year that I have really started to read a lot of manga. I have had many times during this year where I just didn’t have the headspace to read a full novel. I’ve also had times where I just wanted to kick back, relax, and enjoy the incredible artwork and stories […]

Of Darkness and Light by (The Bound and the Broken #2) by Ryan Cahill

by Leave a Comment

Arrows whoosh. Fire burns. Hearts beat. Blood pumps, spills; the start of Darkness and Light is visceral like the Fall, but this situation seems entirely worse. What starts in fire and loss end in complete darkness with a singular ray of light that is the exciting, jaw-dropping cliff-hanger that rounds off such an expansive novel. It lifts the lid on the story that started with Of Blood and Fire. The Dragonguard and the imperial army descend upon one boy and his adolescent dragon. The night holds its breath as we wait for the fires to come …

Review: A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding #1) by Freya Marske

by Leave a Comment

A Marvellous Light is the first installment in Freya Marske’s The Last Binding trilogy, and the author’s debut novel (though, it is not the author’s first published writing, as Marske has published short stories in the past). Honestly, I was not sure about this book at the start; but, by about a third of the way in the characters had grown on me and the intrigue of the plot began to set in. Not to mention the beauty of the prose. Needless to say, I really liked this book.

Of Darkness and Light(The Bound and the Broken #2) by Ryan Cahill

All in all, Of Darkness and Light was an incredible book that had me gripped from page one, all the way to the last page two days later. Cahill is absolutely going to keep on getting better with each book that he puts out and I can’t wait to see what happens in book three and even where he goes after he finishes with The Bound and the Broken.

Review: Of Darkness and Light (The Bound and the Broken #2) by Ryan Cahill

by Leave a Comment

Of Darkness and Light is the second install in Ryan Cahill’s The Bound and the Broken series, and it is a book in which the author dramatically expands in all aspects versus book 1. The storyline has much more suspense and conflict, the character set is expanded, the characters also grow significantly, the world building is grander, and the pace is improved, as well. Of Darkness and Light is truly epic.
