Morning Readers & Happy Tuesday!
I had an amazing long-weekend with the family, including a short trip to Brockville to visit used bookstore, Book Trader, a new-to-town new-bookstore, Cover to Cover, and our favorite Tea Shop, Cosies. I loved being able to share these spots with my daughter and we both got to try crumpets for the first time (so good!).
I also managed to finish the third book in the Nyaxia Series this weekend…
Mische has lost everything, her home, her humanity, and the love of the sun god she once served, after being forcibly turned into a vampire. After being sentenced to death for killing the vampire who turned her, she is unexpectedly saved by Asar, a deadly prince of the House of Shadow, and bound to a perilous mission into the underworld to resurrect the god of death.
Right off the bat I do have to say, the ‘hero’s quest & Herculean Challenges’ plot line is starting to get a little overused in this series. It seems like every book there seems to be competition-structured and staged challenges ie. pass these tests, collect these items and you win. It really took me a while to get into the book because of this, however, I did appreciate delving into the history of the supporting character Mische and ended up really enjoying the second half of the book. In fact, I loved the ending! There were so many good ones in this book too!
I can’t wait for the next installment to come out in July and have already placed my pre-order with Cover to Cover. What series are you most excited to continue this year?
