The Northern Roseaarde Series Omnibus 3-book fantasy series  by R.E. Holding


This is a complete three book fantasy collection. I really enjoy fantasy books and was pleased to discover this trilogy by R.E. Holding. It is well written and feels very epic and sweeping in its scope. The world that the characters live in feels very real, and it's described in detail and feels very engrossing. The characters are many and varied and we get to know them well over the course of the story.  Loren is really likeable and its interesting to follow his journey. This book has high emotional stakes and a found family trope that I love. 

As the book is a set of three it does take a little bit of time for the world building to feel complete and it was a little slower in that regard but it does feel very rich and is definitely needed to plant the reader in Roseaarde. If you are a fan of fantasy epics then this is a great read. 

As the blurb sums it up 'This is a story about the ordinary, rising up to do something extraordinary'. And that is a powerful thing to read. 

Many thanks to the author, the publisher, and to Netgalley for this ARC.

Life Hacks For A Little Alien Alice Franklin

  A story for everyone who has ever felt just that little bit different.  The tale of Little Alien is heartwarming and we follow how they navigate the world around them through the book they are trying to understand, it is t old from the second perspective.  When the Alien discovers the unusual Voynich manuscript she becomes convinced that it will explain the mysteries of the world, and ultimately herself too.  .Personally second point of perspective is a little bit tricky to read at times as its not something I overly choose to read. It's a very quick read and does flow well and it is broken at times by footnotes.  Thank you NetGalley as always and to little, Brown and Company for sending this book to review.

Book Review: Renegade Demon which is book one in the Primal Payne series by Louis Park

 Hello you, Two reviews in one day, I have been reading a lot recently. This review is on  Renegade Demon which is book one in the Primal Payne series by  Louis Park   No wonder Dick Payne has problems! Our protagonist is a bit dysfunctional to say the least but he certainly is fun. Its a comedy horror romp and is a very well written book, and revolves around Dick and his fairly ordinary life until he meets a wizard and that's where things really take off. It is a fun filled dark comedy that really hovers around the line and is not afraid to go too far.   There is a lot of coarse language in this book and some low brow jokes and if that is something that bothers you then maybe steer away from this one however I look forward to the next works in this series. Many thanks for allowing me to read a free ARC in return for my voluntary review.
