I will say I found the tone of Cold Eternity quite different from the authors previous books.

An avid reader and runner. I like to spend my spare time with my dogs Reese and Orion.
In a world where women are never allowed to become Archmages, Sciona is desperate to be first to pass the exam and follow her dreams of being a top magic user for a living. When she achieves that dream she comes to understand the consequences of what she does and her pursuit of knowledge. This book had a very dark tone to it which I really enjoyed immensely and was not expecting.
Of course this results in a very anxiety ridden book from start to finish and had me nervous at every turn for the characters I have grown to love so much.
Fields of Mistria is everything I have wanted in a farming sim for a long time. It both manages the nostalgia of games like Harvest Moon (now Story of Seasons) and the old school 90’s vibes, while also bringing brand new qualities to a well traversed genre over recent years.
I instantaneously loved this game so much that I honestly find it hard to say anything negative about it. This is quite possible the best early access game I’ve played thus far and I’m so impressed by how flawless the gameplay is considering it’s status. The only thing I can say is that I desperately want more content such as heart events and storyline, but as this is already planned, AND there is already a huge amount considering its early access state, I can’t be too upset about it.
Suffice it to say I absolutely blew through the current storyline and I now don’t know what to do with myself while I wait for more – here’s hoping it’s not too long of a wait simply because I’m an addict. This has very quickly become a favourite game of mine and has blown my farming simulator loving mind out of the water.
Highly recommend.
I loved the dichotomy between Sylvia and Lorelai, Lorelai being the grumpy main point of view character while Sylvia is her academic rival and of course, romantic interest who is pure sunshine and loved by all.
