Forging Silver into Stars by Brigid Kemmerer
5.0
I’m crying. I loved every second of this book and never wanted it to end. I never read the Cursebreakers series but that’s my next course of action while I wait for the next book.
I absolutely adore how one of the main characters is disabled but isn’t infantilised because of it. In fact he’s shown to be incredibly capable and strong just like all the other characters.
I honestly loved every single character. They feel real and human rather than perfect fantasy characters. I loved seeing how Tycho, Jax, and Callyn thought throughout the whole book. I loved their relationships with each other and seeing how they grew together. I felt like the relationship between Tycho and Jax was realistic and decently paced as well which was really nice.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy and wants a realistic (mlm) romance. I really liked that it didn’t feel like it was romance centralised either.

Out of the Blue by Jason June
5.0
This book broke my heart and I loved every minute of it.
I absolutely adore fake relationship tropes. I love when A and B pretend to date and then end up actually dating. It’s one of my favourite flavours.
Take that and add fantasy elements and it’s even better. I love merfolk and I absolutely loved the concept of their journeys.
I love how the characters grew and learned through the whole book. And I feel like the audience learned some too. The author definitely knew what he was doing.
This book was an emotional rollercoaster but it was so good.

Skandar and the Unicorn Thief by A.F. Steadman
5.0
I absolutely loved this book. I loved how the unicorns aren’t all sparkles and rainbows, the bloodthirsty unicorns were such a nice change.
I loved that the characters felt realistic; one is depressed, one has panic attacks, one is terrified of their unicorn. I loved that the panic attacks were handled by the other characters.
I also loved that there wasn’t a romantic subplot. Don’t get me wrong, I love romance, but it’s still nice to read books that don’t have romance.
This was such a fun read and I’m excited to start the next book!

Skandar and the Phantom Rider by A.F. Steadman
5.0
I’m absolutely in love with this series and I can’t wait until I can get my hands on the third book. The characters feel so real and I love all of them so much. A. F. Steadman has such a way with words that inflicts so many emotions. I cried, I laughed, I gasped, I squealed. This series just might consume me (in the best way possible). I really wish I could scream about it to everyone I meet.
