Fantasy The Wilderwomen by Ruth Emmie Lang Technically this is the subgenre of urban fantasy or supernatural fantasy but to be honest it felt more like a family story to me because it’s all about two sisters’ efforts to find their missing Mom. It’s okay, the pacing is a little slow at bits but IContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- September 2025”

Still with this series and reading on to find out what happens next. 7 by James Phelan Here we see a major game changer in this series and I find that refreshing.

Moonlake’s Book Discoveries : December 2024
Fantasy The Sisters Mederos by Practice Sarath I do like this book in that the two Mederos sisters are well developed and you can easily throw in with the two of them in their quest to restore their family. An okay reading experience, not sure if I will come back for more. Mystery 13 byContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries : December 2024”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: September 2024
Fantasy Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman I got curious because His Darkest Materials was the title for the lesson on research for the novel writing course that I did with the University of British Columbia up on the edX platform. As I was reading it, it reminds me a little of one movie that IContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: September 2024”
A Changing Relationship with Cozy Mystery
I feel like I have said this N times already but sub-genre is a concept that comes slowly to me. Hence, I never quite grasped the concept of cozy mystery until recently and my first time experience didn’t amount to anything even close to liking. I felt the pacing was too slow and there wasContinue reading “A Changing Relationship with Cozy Mystery”

Fantasy The Lyonesse trilogy by Jack Vance My final verdict upon my second reading is that I like the trilogy enough but I don’t really love it, hence why I couldn’t remember much about it. But I think a younger me probably did enjoy how whimsical the whole trilogy is (it does contain dark themesContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: June 2023”

Back to more of a balance between fantasy and mystery this quarter. Fantasy The Spellwright Trilogy by Blake Charlton This is basically a standalone trilogy starring three different protagonists. I liked book 1- for a fantasy, the prophecy thing that surrounds the protagonist was twisted a couple of times making this a bit fresh andContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- December 2022”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- June 2022
Fantasy Labyrinth Gate by Kate Elliott I actually spent a long while foraging through my local library website before I settled on this. I do like the setup where each chapter is named for a tarot card but I only like the story so-so. I guess this is more of a romance-fantasy (portal fantasy withContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- June 2022”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- March 2022
Fantasy: The Liveship Traders Trilogy by Robin Hobb In terms of characters, I think I can easily feel for Wintrow. Althea at the start was a bit too headstrong for me except when she faced off with Kyle in book 1 and when she showed her determination for her cause. Same with Malta who startedContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- March 2022”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- December 2021
A side note but COVID is really pro-reading. So I’ve trumped my revised reading goal of 20 books by 9 books this year which is definitely a first since I created a goodreads profile back in 20116. Anyway, below is all the fiction I’ve read since September, grouped by the genre as per usual. Fantasy: Continue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- December 2021”
