Read some super fun books. Wrote some reviews.

You should check out the books too if you want some gritty, fun fantasy adventures with plenty of banter and brilliant character work!

Five star The Envoys of War by Dave lawson goodreads review: This one was such a fun, and slightly silly(in the best way), fantasy adventure/quest book!

The character work was fantastic in this one and to me, really what pushed this into 5-star rating territory. We get 3 POV's and each is voicey and distinct, never allowing any confusion as to who we're following. The characters are also very consistent and realised, they don't change their personalities to conform to a pre-determined plot(something that's a pet peeve of mine).

The plot was also solid, subtly changing its course as we go on but it all makes sense for the characters and their motivations so it felt like the natural progression of things.

Five stars The Pawns of Havoc by Dave Lawson goodreads review: After loving The Envoys of War, I knew I had to grab this one the moment the audiobook was released and I was not disappointed!

This one follows Cork, a side character in Envoys although I believe this story is set before the events of Envoys. Where Envoys have more silly streaks this one also has plenty of humour and great character work.

It's a novella and a quick read but that doesn't mean there isn't loads of action and heart packed into it. I particularly enjoyed some of the more serious internal monologue from Cork after things had gone to sh!t, it helped flesh out sides of him I had worried wouldn't ever be addressed despite all the bloody mayhem.

Proof copy arrived and it's looking gorgeous 🤩

10 days until I have a finished trilogy out in the world!

If you need a dark spacey fantasy series with slow burn romance and mental health rep, give it a go!

Hand holding paperback book which has a green cover with a dark forest on a spacey sky. A glowing blue bird soars above and the title is in gold lettering across the bottom: Verselva Blues.
