I started reading Raven Storm after I read The Dark Prince and I was hooked by how she writes her characters, so I was honoured to have been given an ARC for her new book and it didn't disappoint.

I really like the FMC Mari, she is outspoken, strong willed and determined to make change. The story itself is full of mysteries and twists that show that not everything is all that it seems. The way she finds information about the history of the kingdom and it's dome, is like breadcrumbs through the book and while not all questions are answered/confirmed, I am hooked enough that I have my own questions and am looking forward to readimg the next book in the series.

Overall, it is a strong first book that is immersive and showcases the important background about the kingdom and it's way of life, and the ending... Well let's just say I will definitely be reading book 2 as I am just as invested as finding the answers as Mari.

I definitely recommend this to other fantasy readers!

I Never Fancied Myself A Dragon Tamer

Of course I saw this book all over booktok and I was intrigued by a dragon who shifted into a naked prince. Hmmm… yes please! I’ve never read romantasy but I love it!

Not continuing the series which is reason for the 2 ⭐. The characters are written as pretty immature and it feels like there is something missing. It's written like a YA but has a 🌶️ scene (that added nothing to the plot).
