1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

In the second book of this series, we’re out of the school of Skyhold, and journeying into the desert, in a sandship. First destination – the city of Theras Tel, ruled by a dragon who’s also one of the most powerful storm mages in the world. Where the first book is a pretty standard school

The Obsidian Chimera – Marie Andreas

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

Taryn has a new patroness for her digs in Beccia’s ancient Elven ruins. Said patroness is dead set on finding something specific, and naturally, it turns out to be no good for Taryn. Still enjoying this series – it’s a weirdly anachronistic fantasy world (I’ve never seen a fantasy character that dwells so much on

Dance of Thieves – Mary E. Pearson

Kazi grew up on the streets as a thief – one of the very best. Good enough that she eventually caught the attention of the queen, who made her one of the Rahtan – her elite guards. Now, Kazi and some of the other Rahtan have been sent out of the kingdom to track one

The King of Faerie – AJ Lancaster

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I really enjoyed the end of this series. Definitely one of the best free series I’ve ever read. (The first book was completely free, but I got the others through Kindle Unlimited.) Hetta and Wyn are under a deadline – she’s pregnant, and they need the High King’s blessing to marry. But no one’s seen

The Court of Mortals – AJ Lancaster

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I’ve developed this really bad habit lately of parsing out books in series, even if I have all of those books available to me. I read the first book in this series a couple years ago, having gotten it for free. I did see that the others were available on Kindle Unlimited, so I figured

Stolen Midsummer Bride – Tara Grayce

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

This is part of a series written by different authors about different brides stolen by various fae. I’m not sure I would have read this if it wasn’t by an author I knew I already liked – they look superficially like they could be pretty fluffy. (And I guess this one is, but not in

Yvette grew up in streets of Paris, left at a brothel by her mother. She’s tough and street smart, but that earned her a trip to jail when she murdered someone in self defense. In The Vine Witch, she meets Elena, also falsely accused of a crime, and ends up out of jail and back
