Stardust in their Veins by Laura Sebastian is book two in the trilogy set. The author wastes no time in getting right back on track from where Castles in their Bones left off. We have our usual espionage, court intrigue, betrayal, and witty dialogue. Her writing style and pace are so smooth and effortless that…

I remember absolutely enjoying The…

Wolf’s Head, Wolf’s Heart by Jane Lindskold is the second book in the Firekeeper saga. I had a pretty decent time with Through Wolf’s Eye and was pretty curious to see how the story would progress. I had some expectations but unfortunately, the turn of events happening here in the followup isn’t enough to keep…

Through Wolf’s Eyes by Jane Lindskold is the first book in her Firekeeper Saga. My ever constant need to search for awesome adult fantasy novels and series that deals with political drama and scheming led me to this series. I think this was a good start to a series although I swear the author was…
