Review: For The Throne (Wilderwood #2) by Hannah Whitten
For The Throne really is everything you wish for in a sequel/series conclusion, in that it wraps up all the threads in a satisfying manner that isn’t necessarily what you’d expect, it honors already established characters while also giving the right amount of space to the ones who are now the main focus and, it does all that by improving on all that worked well before to make it even better.
Review: Captain Wu (Starship Nameless #1) by Patrice Fitzgerald and Jack Lyster
I read this as part of the SPSFC Finals! This review reflects my thoughts and not my team as a whole.
Ooooookay this was fun. I absolutely flew through Captain Wu at quite the pace and it kept me hooked the whole time. Space pirates, found family, a mysterious package are all mixed into this space opera and it created a great story!

Review: Perception Check (The Mages of Velmyra Saga #1) by Astrid Knight
Perception Check is a warm-hearted adventure that certainly feels like the homage to tabletop gaming it is trying to be. The characters all resonate, the world grows and grows with the help of a strong magic system and lore. It’s an accomplished debut from Knight and a saga I hope will be a critical success.

Review: Glass Rhapsody (Songs of Sefate #3) by Sarah Chorn
Sarah’s writing is stunning, it’s beautiful and poetic and she manages to convey such painful, heart-wrenching moments with such tenderness and emotion. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a writer who can do quite what she does with words. The emotion she can convey with her writing is unmatched and I’m never quite sure if I’m mourning or floating when I read her works. My heart is always both so full and so empty.
Review: King of Battle and Blood (Adrian X Isolde #1) by Scarlett St. Clair
St. Clair’s story fits within a few great romance tropes, such as marriage of convenience and enemies to lovers, but it also employs some of my favorite tropes across any genre, for instance wrong/fake history being revealed for what it was, misconceptions being broken down, and an epic revenge story revealed gradually with great effect.
