Lyrical Yet Underwhelming: Sisters of Sword and Song by Rebecca Ross
23December
A beautifully rich high fantasy that incorporates all the best parts of mythology–magic, the ancestry of gods, and a save-the-world quest–made all the more gripping by its earnest exploration of two sisters who would go through hell for each other. However, the plot’s climax revealed my apathy towards the quest’s fulfillment–saving the Queen didn’t feel like much of a success, given everyone I connected to had to suffer for it–making the novel not as enjoyable.

Entertaining Yet Unsatisfactory: Seven Ways to Kill A King by Melissa Wright
05December
A standalone epic fantasy that has all the makings for a great revenge-filled novel with its good pacing and complex assassinations, however, it falls short in its comparison to The Witcher and Game of Thrones as there's more moral introspection than badass name-taking and its uninspiring characterizations.
