Review: The Ruthless Fae King - Book #3 Kings of Avalier Series - Leia Stone - April 2023 I would say personally that I am not a huge fantasy or romantasy fan but lately, I have gotten into it as some of the books being published these days are very easy to read and have the perfect mix of fantasy, romance, and suspense to them. It also helps that the characters are easy to like and connect to as well. This is one series that I have been enjoying and I have enjoyed the first three books and can't wait to read book #4 - though I am partial to say as each book features a paranormal group - I am Team #Dragons. We have had Dragons in Book #1, Elves in Book #2, and now in Book #3, we have Fae. The book starts with the Fall Court princess being promised to the Winter King Lucien. The Winter King has a bad reputation and the Fall Princess Madelynn is angry at her father for organising this marriage without telling her. However, Madelynn is about to get the surprise of a lifetime as she di...

Review: The Broken Elf King - Book #2 Kings of Avalier Series - Leia Stone - November 2022 Near the end of 2023, I started reading a little bit of fantasy again and found myself really enjoying it - of course, now there is a new term for the fantasy I do enjoy, once described as Urban Fantasy it is now called Romantasy which is fantasy with romance sprinkled throughout the story. It's great if you aren't a high and epic fantasy reader which is a bit more involved storylines and a bit drier plot. After really loving The Last Dragon King, I decided to continue the series and now in Book #2, we move over to the Elf Kingdom. In The Broken Elf King, we have our King Raife whose family was killed years ago by the Evil NightFall Queen who resides over the human world. She believes that all magic should be wiped out and humans be in power. In Nightfall lives Lani with her Aunt. Her Aunt has been sick, so Lani took a loan to buy medicine but she struggled to pay it back and has now been...

  Review: The Last Dragon King - Book #1 Kings of Avalier Series - Leia Stone - September 2022 Wow, years ago I read a lot of fantasy as I was a big Vampires/Werewolves type reader in my late teens to mid 20's and then like we do with most things after doing it for a while, I got burned out with fantasy books and I stopped as I just couldn't do it anymore. This year though I decided to give a couple of fantasy books a read and I have read three books - they all fall under the YA/NA umbrella and each of them has been amazing. Because of this one of my reading goals for 2024 is to finally read the Sarah J Maas series and a bit more fantasy books.  The Last Dragon King was like Fantasy meets The Selection. In The Last Dragon King, the King is looking for a new wife who is strong enough to bear his children and be of marrying age. He is gathering up women from all over the lands and in the small town of Cinder - that includes Arwen. She has lived her life thinking that she is h...
