⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Beware of spoilers!!


How does one review a sequel whilst not spoiling either book? I will try my best BUT like I said previously beware.  


After the events of book 1 Voice of War our cast of characters Chrys, Laurel and Alverax have been through a lot and now well continue to go through a lot in Stones of Light. 


Chrys is battling to gain control of himself, the voice in his head turning to be something much worse than what he ever could imagine. Witnessing himself do and say such horrific acts. To find out that isn't him but a "god" named Relek


Laurel, is now an achromatic, having lost her ability to control threadlight and now at the hands of Alabella the head of the bloodtheives.


Alverax, the only obsidian threadweaver is now with Zeda people in the city of Felia to ask for protection and shelter after their land was burnt to the ground by the bloodtheives. 


As much as I enjoyed the first of this series I was not surprised to like this one even more so. My jaw hung open at so many points I was so engrossed, shocked, disturbed and awed. 


Can we talk for a minute on how much DARKER Stones of Light is?? Those corespawn attacks? The whole concept of them? An invisible viscous attacker!!


We learn a lot about threadlight and how it's created. 

The theoliths and coreseals. 

The wastelander gods, siblings who are bent on control and destruction. 

The Hearlds


So much going on. 


We meet new characters, the Empress of Felia and her sister The Mistress of Mercy, who await the return of the Hearlds. 


That ending! 


I can not wait for book 3!!

I completely understand that my thoughts are all over the place, because quite literately I just finished the book and sometimes a bookish ramble? Babble? Is what is needed. Clearly that shows how incredibly wonderful the story is that I couldn't wait to forum thoughts I just dived right into the pool.

Please read this series, you really will not be disappointed.


*Thank you Zack for giving me a copy for review.

#bookreview Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier #booktour

  Hello and welcome back, or welcome if you are new to the blog.  Today I have a book review for you. It is my stop for the virtual tour of Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier.  The blurb (From Goodreads) At the far edge of cultivated space, a derelict ship rests. Ten times larger than the biggest Terran dreadnaught, the ship is not recognized by any of the five species tenuously coexisting in the galaxy. Small crews are sent to investigate. What they find is a trap. Once in the metal labyrinth’s clutches, it is clear the unlikely allies will not escape unless they can work together as a team. Unfortunately, trust and cooperation are entirely out of the question. An immersive tale of escape and comradery, Escaping First Contact brings together an unforgettable cast of characters, richly detailed alien cultures, deft humour, and explosive action. "Fantastic world building, believable aliens and lots of snappy action. T.S. Beier is on her way up!"- S.D. Perry, author of Ali...

Skinned by Robin Wasserman

Skinned by Robin Wasserman My rating: 3 of 5 stars May contain spoilers, cursing and ranting. When something bad happens to you, like an accident as what happened in this book to our main. It doesn't always mean death. If your brain is still working you can be downloaded into a new body. Some people if they have enough credit can have one specialty made if there is enough time for it. But the thing is you are no longer human. You can't bleed, eat, breath. You can feel pain to a degree only with extreme actions. Hot and cold mean nothing. You can feel slightly but it's not the same. You don't need to bathe, brush your teeth or use the bathroom. You're a machine that looks human and mentally you still are the same person but it's never the same. It was going so strong, so good. But then things started to stand out. Little things that annoyed me. Nothing major just certain wordings for example "eating lunch" but how is she exactly doing this?? ...

Book tour: Hooked by Bobbi JG Weiss

Hooked by Bobbi J.G. Weiss My rating: 4 of 5 stars Hooked is a story of man who never knew his father, but being told he looked very much like him. Knowing that he use to own a bookstore, was a swordsmen and they share the same temper that seems to be handed down from son to son. But other that he knows nothing. This is a tale of a man losing his mother and trying to find out who is father is. His mother never telling. Jonathan Edward Stuart, a book store owner and former alcoholic has always had dreams, nightmares a more fitting word for it. He has always had bad habits, Melanie thinks he is a very Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide like, others that know him say he's child like. Could these be just a result of the nightmares, his drinking, or does it fun in family. he stumbles upon what looks to be a story, which appears to be the memoirs of Captain Hook, of the Jolly Roger. But it can't really be truthful? It's just a tale right? Peter Pan is a name that to him, br...
