Splinter Effect: A Novel | Andrew Ludington

pick

I enjoyed this time travel sci-fi debut, and I look forward to further adventures with Rabbit Ward in the future.
This has a bit of an Indiana Jones vibe with our lead character being a treasure-hunting archaeologist with competition dogging his trail and a bit of possible romance thrown into the mix. There‘s also good historical world building and research that adds to flavoring the story with vivid imagery. I did (occasionally) have some🔻

robinb confusion grasping this particular alliteration of time travel specifics, but not enough to detract from the story as a whole. I also hoped for more in-depth exploration of Rabbit‘s character/past, but I‘ll assume since this is the start of his story, we‘ll get that as we go along. Well done, especially as a freshman effort. 4/5⭐️ #coverlove (edited) 2w

House of Blight | Maxym M. Martineau

pick

I've read several of Martineau's books, and they've been consistently good choices for me, so I was excited to start this one.
This fantasy romance gave hints of a Grimm Fairy Tale in its darkness and some of its physical descriptions (characters, world setting, etc.). It started just a bit slow for me but quickly picked up its pace and kept me spellbound and on the edge of my seat at times. The premise of a "threadmender" (Edira) who is able to?

robinb cure disease and heal injuries (unfortunately at a cost to herself) was intriguing, and I found the passages featuring her expertise and its description well written and believable.
I felt that the characters were well-fleshed out, especially the three protagonists (Edira, Orin and Rorik). But the ensemble cast served as a good foil/background for these three as well. The "blight" became a bit of a character in itself, and its physical ? 2w

robinb manifestation was quite gory in its detail.
I think upon re-reading this I would find lots of interesting allegories centered around good vs. evil, the blight itself, the concept of threadmending itself, etc.
Overall, well written and quite entertaining. I look forward to the next book. 4.25/5⭐️ #coverlove (edited) 2w

The Bones Beneath My Skin | Tj Klune

pick

4.5 ⭐

I discovered TJ Klune last year, & have yet to be disappointed by anything I've read by him. His books are artfully crafted to engage readers w/not only an exciting storyline, but also w/characters that have been created with immense heart and soul. There is always a depth, an emotional element, that makes the stories seem relatable in some way, even though the truth of the matter is that all of Klune's stories are fantastical in nature. ⤵️

monkeygirlsmama ⤴️ You will laugh (out loud even). You will cry. To put it simply, when you read one of these books you will find yourself experiencing a rainbow of emotions with one of the primary ones being sheer joy. That's the case for me anyways. #audiobook #coverlove 1mo
