Books She Read: Mid Year Check-In

July 3, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again, dear reader or listener, we’re officially in my favorite month so it’s about time I look back at my standout reads of the year so far.
It has been a bit of a weird one for me, which means my reading moods were all over the place. This also means that of the several books I started, I only managed to finish reading the ones that hooked me the most, so picking out favorites out of the ones that made it is a lil hard.

Review: The Malevolent Seven by Sebastien de Castell

May 10, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The Malevolent Seven, is one deliciously unhinged novel from start to finish, with fast paced action and a snarky narrator called Cade Ombra who, disillusioned with his past life of righteousness, has become a Wonderist, or magical mercenary for hire. He, not really of his own volition, agrees to a doomed job but the alternative is a faster death, so really, it could be worse.
