Good afternoon all! This is starting to become a bi-weekly update, so I hope you enjoy!
I absolutely adored this book! I loved the dual POV between Kazi and Jase, two ‘thieves’ on opposing political sides who get thrown together and develop some feelings. About towards the middle of the book was when I really sat back, enjoying Kazi’s inner voice as she navigated her feelings, abilities, and duties. It’s a five star read for me, would definitely recommend!
This one is my new read for this week. I’m a sucker for some good angsty tropes like enemies to lovers, so I’m hoping to really enjoy this ride, especially since I’ve heard such good things!
I’ve been doing scene and developmental mapping for my second series that is set about 15 years into the future from the ending of Rowyn’s story. One of the locales I used for The Tempest Queen is going to be the main setting, Iora, a consulship in the Fens, that is controlled by Admiral Abelard Valdis. There will be one or two familiar faces in book 1, and the plot is a sort of Beauty and the Beast mixed with Phantom of the Opera style romance.
Here is my last Kindle Vs. Libby Tiktok! I’ve really enjoyed making these little vids, my own personal shoulder demon and angel when it comes to my tbr lists. I confess I’ve run out of ideas for these skits, so I’m probably going to move onto more reviews on books and skits of my own writing, but it was definitely a fun way to express some creative energy!
The following song inspired a scene in book 2 of Tempest Rising, The Last Dusk. In it, Rowyn and Destrian witness an Aurora Borealis while they are wandering around the nightlands. I hope you enjoy!
