Sweet Yet Anti-climatic: A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova
30December
A standalone epic fantasy loosely based on the mythology of Hades and Persephone, and while an enemies-to-lovers romance that has its sweet parts, the lack of world-building, endearing characterizations and number of plot holes made the novel quite anti-climatic.

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.

Magical and Entrancing: Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
09December
An entrancing standalone epic fantasy; it brings the magic of books to life through the Heroine's journey to discover who is attempting to sabotage the Great Libraries and made all the more enjoyable by its adorable enemies to friends to lovers romances and themes of friendship.
