Queen B’s Decree: Night of the Witch is about some medieval German witch trials, where like in Salem, most of those burned were innocent. Fritzi is an actual witch, who saw her coven killed and burned. She’s trying to find her cousin and help her escape when she gets captured by Otto, a witch hunter. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve read a couple fantasy books recently and thought “hey, maybe I’ll read more of that genre.” But The Kingdom is a Golden Cage was a slog for me. I didn’t connect with the characters, I found much of the wording to be very repetitive, and frankly, I didn’t understand the plot. […]
Queen B’s Decree: Fantasy isn’t my usual thing, but when a close friend gushed about Fourth Wing, I paid attention. So when it popped up on my Libby app, I chose to listen. And damn, son…was I obsessed. Needless to say, I’ve already pre-ordered the next in the series. OBSESSED. Book: Fourth Wing by Rebecca […]
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 […]
