Girl, Goddess, Queen – Bea Fitzgerald
I love a Hades and Persephone retelling, and Girl, Goddess, Queen gave me a version of the characters I genuinely enjoyed. Unfortunately, I also spent a lot of the book…
-
Spectacular
A whimsical and romantic side story that adds a touch of sweetness for fans of Caraval, but doesn’t offer much beyond that.
-
Skyshade
This was a tough one to get through — flat writing and distant characters made the book feel longer than it was.
-
Carving Shadows into Gold
A slower, more introspective sequel that continues the political threads of book one, though it doesn’t quite hit the same emotional highs.
-
Forging Silver into Stars
A return to the world of Cursebreakers with fresh faces, political tension, and just enough intrigue to keep the story moving.
-
Rebel Witch
A gripping sequel with tension, romance, and just enough rebellion to keep the pages flying. I didn’t love it as much as the first—but I still couldn’t put it down.
-
Tale of the Heart Queen
After four books of build-up, the finale feels rushed, convenient, and emotionally flat. A neat ending, but not a satisfying one.
-
Fate of the Sun King
Though the plot remains easy to predict, the fast pacing and dramatic romance keep the story engaging. Not deep, but definitely bingeable.
-
Rule of the Aurora King
This sequel ups the stakes with more court intrigue, but don’t expect surprises—it’s another familiar, trope-filled ride that stays comfortably in its lane.
-
Trial of the Sun Queen
A predictable but entertaining fantasy full of trials, tension, and romance. The writing isn’t amazing, but it’s easy to fly through and fun while it lasts.
