read, review, repeat
It's more than a satisfactory ending to the story we were promised in book The Daughter's of Izdihar. This series is a short, fast-paced one for those who love feminist political fantasy with elemental magic. Read the post for my full review.
Everything I wanted in a fantasy adventure: books as magical artifacts, a fight between good and evil with a compelling heroine, a charming retinue of characters, time travel, and a fractured timeline. Not to forget, epic moments that made me imagine it made into a Marvel movie, and some of the soundtracks still play in my head as I write this review. It's so fresh in a way that's hard to explain, and for that alone, if nothing else, you should give it a shot. Read the post for my full review.
If you want a fast paced, popcorn-ish mystery read, you'll want this. If you love epic fantasy, you'll want it for the world it is set in. And if you like both, you'll have a blast. I did report a few minor issues, but I really enjoyed this, and need the next book please. Read the post for my full review.
I'm afraid I'm a bit too disappointed with this one, and might not pick up book ten. Still, I'd absolutely recommend you start with book one and work your way upto four. Read the post for my full review.
Georgia Summers can clearly write, and has a potential to create fantasy worlds to draw readers into a high stakes adventure. I'll definitely follow her career eagerly, but the unconvincing romance, heavy reliance on metaphor, and the lack of strong editing makes The City of Stardust an underwhelming fantasy debut.

Hester Musson knocks it out of the park with sheer ingenuity in plotting and fine atmosphere-building. Read the post for my full review.
Rougher on the characters but better on the reader, and in no way any middle book syndrome, just how I like my epic fantasy sequels. Read the post for my full review.
Though there is a welcome increase in scope and danger from the first instalment. this mostly reads like a rushed work that connects book one to three. Read the post for my full review.
A solid debut, one I recommend for those who want to read a book with an unlikely underdog who needs to work through a few meltdowns and lose his shit before becoming the saviour. Read the post for my full review.
