Queen B’s Decree: I think it’s really been cemented for me: I love the found family trope. Linus Baker is a caseworker that checks in on magical children’s orphanages, when he’s assigned a special case. Linus lets down his guard and his heart just can’t help but fall in love with all the children in […]
Queen B’s Decree: 2023 is the year I branch out on books, so Long Live was a perfect addition to my fantasy attempt. I was hooked from the beginning; the lore, the characters, the magic. Something is happening in the world and the long-slumbering elemental gods are waking up. Their points-of-view all felt unique and […]
Queen B’s Decree: I don’t know how I found out about this book…but it’s been sitting on my TBR for a while. And I recently discovered my library had it on audio. So poof! I actually had time to read it! And it was amazing. Maybe it’s because I’ve recently been obsessed with playing Diablo […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Flame King’s Captive had a play on the omegaverse that I hadn’t quite seen yet. Essentially, the designations have gone dormant while the Maledin people and their dragons have been buried under the mountain for the past 500 years. Once they re-emerge, the humans with Maledin blood start to evolve as […]
Queen B’s Decree: I added Radiance to my 23 books in 2023 list, since Queen J told me to read it…many years ago. But it’s fantasy. And you know I rarely read that. To the surprise of me—I was obsessed. Two characters in an arranged marriage who find each other literally repulsive physically? And they […]
Queen B’s Decree: I recently discovered Studio Ghibli movies, and I’ve discovered something. What I love so much about them is this heartwarming feeling I always get, even if the plot is a little weird. T.J. Klune books are like that for me. In the Lives of Puppets made me laugh, and cry, and my […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Dark Fae’s Destiny was a nice completion of the duet. We’re left with a cliffhanger at the end of the first book, unsure how it will all get resolved. And The Dark Fae’s Destiny was a little bit of everything: relationship progression, sexy times, magic, time travel, and suspense. All that […]
Queen B’s Decree: Ellister is a dark fae, back to collect from a bargain he made many years ago. It just so happens that the soul he is there to collect, is Hannah. Hannah has been dealing with a mysterious illness, and her symptoms start to feel better when Ellister, a stranger, is around. Their […]
Queen B’s Decree: Fantasy is not a genre I often read, so I was hoping that Amethyst Pledge would grab my attention as a YA Fantasy. And I think it would have, except for a mental block I seem to have. Kazari, our heroine, is called to serve the Lady and leaves her home to […]
Queen B’s Decree: I won a copy of The Cursed Fae recently and was pretty excited to dive in. The story progresses very quickly (due to the short nature of the novella, I suppose) but I enjoyed the romance between Lily and her dark fae, Kailen. There were definitely some Beauty and the Beast vibes […]
