I am now eyeing Song of Silver, Flame Like Night by Amélie Wen Zhao and Strike the Zither by Joan He. The former is apparently more romantic fantasy/historical fiction/mystery whereas the latter is more reimagined Romance of the Three Kingdoms with female characters. I’m actually leaning towards the latter right now. Since I am goingContinue reading “Oriental Fantasy 2025”

TBR list for 2025
I am yet to read the Doom of Odin and the new Black Jewel trilogy that I mentioned last year.

The last time I read one (Madukka theContinue reading “Craft and Curiousity 2023- Part 2”
Craft and Curiousity 2023- Part 1

For my CuriousityContinue reading “Craft and Curiousity 2023- Part 1”
