Review - Immortal by Sue Lynn Tan

 




There have only been a few times where I get so excited about receiving an ARC of a book that I'm speechless and near tears, this was one of those cases. I apologize in advance to other authors I ARC read for, I love you guys too but some authors I have loved for years and only recently started doing this. So when I get access to their works before they are released, I get emotional. Off track too apparently, this is supposed to be a review!

First things first - this cover!!!! I love the covers for everything Sue Lynn Tan has written, but this one is my favorite. It is gorgeous and will look amazing on my shelf when I get the physical copy (pre-ordered as soon as it was available). Sue Lynn Tan is one of my favorite authors (it's a long list but still). Her world building and plots are always amazing, and I love the additions of her favorite stories and myths from growing up in her work. It makes everything she writes unique in the fantasy genre, and I love it. This book is no different.

The FMC, Liyen , is fantastic. She is strong and fierce and I love her! She faces every challenge head on and does not back down or show her fear when it matters. 

The God of War, Lord Zhangwei, oof. Where can we find guys like that? So many good quotes, but one of my favorites - "Dawn would be dark without you." He smiled. "You make life more interesting." ... *swoon*

I can't recommend this book enough. I loved everything about it and as soon as I started reading it I COULD NOT put it down. I loved every second of this book. Thank you Sue Lynn Tan for another amazing work to take me away from reality for a short while.

Hello there!

 My first blog post!! Welcome :) I'm about 99% sure no one will ever visit my blog, but I figured this would be a good way to at least keep myself updated and organized with the books I'm reading, and maybe post and talk about some fun things in between. So first, I guess I could write a little bit about me. I was born in the 90s, I was never popular, and I often prefer the company of other animals to people. It's not because I hate people, but I am very socially awkward. As in, "they wanted to hold me back in Kindergarten because of it" socially awkward. After years of attempting to make friends and failing for anything long term (until almost high school), I found books to be a fantastic way to escape. Tolkien was my first fantasy, and I still re-read the Lord of the Rings every so often. Even as an adult, I get lost in fantasy when life gets to be too much.  Which is how I got here - writing this - in hopes to spread the word on some books and support authors t...

 Hello there and Welcome!! I caught up on some ARCs and their reviews - here are my favorite for the week. Well, needless to say I am ABSOLUTELY in my cowboy era, they're my favorite books to read between my romantasy series that I somehow get dragged into. Duke is the first book I ARC read in this series, but I had read the three previous books in this spicy interconnected series. The Rivers brothers are quite swoon-worthy, and honestly - if I didn't know better I would be moving across the country and find myself a rancher. Unfortunately, these cowboys only exist in fiction, but that's perfectly okay. You can't get disappointed by a fictional character. Well, technically you can but I digress. Duke by Jessica Peterson is the fourth installment of her Lucky River Ranch series, which starts with the brother Cash. Duke is Rivers brother, and one of the twins. He meets Wheeler in the first book, and there are some hints throughout the other books about something going on ...

The Intuitive Series by E.Y. Kelley

 I received this series as ARCs, and I regret not having read them sooner. It took me getting a week and a half of vacation to tackle a lot of my TBR. This series though was one of my favorites and still is a favorite. As soon as I get paid I will be buying physical copies as shelf trophies. So, let's dive in. The first book in this series is called "The Lies We Tell". In this book we start to meet a majority of our characters. The entire series so far is from Lexi's POV, so you're learning things and watching everything through her. So you definitely feel her frustration when EVERYONE keeps leaving important facts out or just not telling her period. A lot of problems could have been solved if people would just be clear with her from the get go - instead something happens - she tells someone, and they're like "Oh yeah, about that...". It took me a minute to get into this book because it does throw you right into the thick of things, but I got pulled ...
