After the brutal cliffhanger in book one that Romantasy writer, Danielle L. Jensen, is so fond of writing, I could not wait to read the second installment and conclusion to The Unfated duology

Another highly anticipated Romantasy read of 2025 hit shelves a couple weeks ago, and I finally had a chance to read it. Should you? It depends.

Everyone needs a hobby. And introverted bookworms? ADHD Bookworms? Well, we need new ones on the regular.

It’s officially Memorial Weekend, and this year has equally felt a gazillion years long, and a blink to get here. What are we reading?

If you’re looking to try a new epic fantasy author, you like lots of action, and you don’t mind some gore, you might love Anji Kills a King by Evan Leikam. Can I convince you with a first line?

Silver Elite by Dani Francis has been taking over the Booktok and Bookstagram feeds, and it’s purported to have to have sold 24,000 copies in its first week. Seems like a resounding success, right?

I went into The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson completely blind, and I’m honestly glad I did. All I knew was this stunning Illumicrate fantasy book showed up in my monthly box, and I dropped everything to read it.

I headed up some creaking stairs to a darkened private room in downtown San Francisco last fall, and little did I know, I’d meet the incredibly charming debut author of The Eights, Joanna Miller.

So I thought it’d be fun to do a Q1 recap of my favorite reads I would absolutely recommend picking up. There’s a mix of older reads and new, and of course, the majority are all fantasy reads.

If you’re looking for a beautifully written novel that will sweep you away with its lush worldbuilding and dreamlike quality, Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor is the next book you MUST pick up.

I woke up the morning after finishing Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins with a headache…from sobbing non-stop. Am I emotionally devastated? Yes.

So many people on Booktok and Bookstagram were obsessed with The Crimson Moth aka Heartless Hunter when it came out. I, however, was not one of them.

We talk through his voice acting journey, his classically-trained theatre background, and even how his mum was the inspo for him originally starting to post cold reads on social media.

I absolutely devoured this book, and if you loved Babel by R.F. Kuang, you’ll probably love this story too. Think linguistics, translations, and dark academia vibes.

If, like me, you’re reeling after finishing Onyx Storm, perhaps more dragons are the cure for your book hangover.

You know a book is a certified banger when you sell 2.7 million hardbacks in one week. One week. Onyx Storm is the fastest selling adult novel in any category in 20 years, according to The New York Times.
