Review: The Songbird & the Heart of Stone (Crowns of Nyaxia #3) by Carissa Broadbent

December 3, 2024 by Paige Leave a Comment

The Songbird and the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent

This was my first Carissa Broadbent book and I can tell you for a fact it will not be my last. This is technically the third in the Crowns of Nyaxia series but first in its own duology. So no need to have read the first two books to start this one, it follows what I believe is a side character in the first two books, and all of the important history and context is revealed throughout the book. At no point did I feel like I was missing any context by not having read the other books. TLDR; you can start with this book and be fine.

Review: The City of Mist and Tears (Mothers of Sorrow #1) by Alex Robins

Synopsis: Keselgraad. A city of iron and stone, rising from the mist-shrouded wasteland to pierce the pallid clouds. A colossal man-made mountain stretching a mile high, from the blood-stained alleyways of the Slums to the crystal-studded spire of the Church of the Mother, whose amethyst shards shine brighter than any star. Keselgraad. Both a haven […]

Review: Sorcery and Small Magics (The Wildersongs Trilogy #1) by Maiga Doocy

November 29, 2024 by Paige Leave a Comment

Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy

I feel like this was originally described to me as ‘cosy’ but I’m not sure that fits. If you ignore the romance this is a story about an accidental curse and two students’ journey into a dangerous magical forest to find a cure. They hear rumours of a sorcerer who might be able to undo the curse that Grimm accidentally uses on Leo, and I really enjoyed the portion of the book where they ventured into the forest and braved the monsters within. That in itself made for a great story, but add in a very slow-burn romance and I found myself really enjoying Sorcery and Small Magics.
