Eclipsing: The Zoe Eferhild Chronicles by E.C. Lawton
4.0
Ratings:
Overall rating: 4.5/5
Spice: 3.5/5
Tropes include:
Multiple POVs
Found family
Mental health rep
LGBTQA+ rep
*no spoilers from either books*
This is the second book in The Zoe Eferhild Chronicles and sequel to Emerging. The story picks up right where we left off at in the first book. A lot of the side characters really got to shine in this book! Lawton offered multiple POVs, which was needed since we were introduced to different realms and characters in the first book.
Eclipsing has a lot more romantasy elements that isn’t overwhelming to those who are barely dipping their toes in to this genre (aka, me lol). What enjoy most about E.C. Lawton’s writing is that she isn’t afraid to bring up topics of mental health and trauma. All the characters have either fell victim to or is caring for someone coping with these struggles and E.C. brings it to light in a sensitive way. She does well with handling each of the character’s past and goes into great detail and doesn’t leave anyone out.
The spice is spicin’ in this book! Spice scenes occurred more often in Eclipsing compared to Emerging. Lawton writes these scenes very well (and also goes into good detail *wink wink*)
And Lawton got me again with the plot twist in the last few chapters!! Absolutely cannot wait for book 3!
Love this series so far and can’t recommend it enough!

Orphia and Eurydicius by Elyse John
4.0
“Would you walk through life, knowing where you are destined to end?”

Overall: 4/5
Spice: 2/5
Tropes include:
Gender swapped MCs
Greek mythology retelling
Slow burn
LGBTQ+ rep
In this Greek mythology retelling, Elyse John takes the story of Orpheus and Eurydice with her own spin by gender swapping the two main characters. John’s prose is both beautiful and descriptive and she really teleports you into the story itself. I found myself getting so lost in the descriptions that I would lose focus in the actual story itself.
I thoroughly enjoyed Orphia and Eurydicius! I recommend it to anyone who, like me, loves mythology retellings/reimaginings.
