I don’t often read the Acknowledgements at the ends of books. It’s just something I’ve never really done. But I read this one and I’m glad Morgan Rhodes apologized to her readers because OH. MY. GOODNESS. THAT ENDING. But maybe I should start back at the beginning. We’re on book 5 of the Falling Kingdoms series and lately with young adult fiction, this series would’ve wrapped up […]
You have to feel bad for the people of Mythica. Their leaders are fighting amongst themselves and making power-alliances, changing the future of the continent, and causing all sorts of chaos.

A lot has changed since the start of book 1, including total disruption of order in Auranos and the king of Limeros taking over the continent. But if I’m being completely honest, I finished this book in record time but I couldn’t […]
Three kingdoms and all it takes is one drunk to start an all-out war. This multi-narrator novel left me breathless from start to finish. Rhodes introduces you to a continent relatively at peace until a princess decides to go on an adventure and one of her companions kills a boy. This boy’s brother wants revenge. Meanwhile, to the north, the great and terrible king is […]
