Romantic epic fantasy? Sign me up! I was sold right from the start of the blurb because these three words together are magic for me. The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten was all it claimed to be and more.

This. Book. Hunting Adeline is one of those reads that no matter the words I write, they will never do it justice. It’s somehow even better than the first book in the series. H. D. Carlton knocks the tough topics in this novel out of the park and proves her prowess as a writer.

Lady of the Drowned Empire is just…wow
Lady of the Drowned Empire by Frankie Mallis is the third book in the main story following Lyriana. I was so happy to be able to jump straight into the third book after finishing the second (big thanks to the author, Frankie, for the ARC).
I’m reeling a little bit after finishing Guardian of the Drowned Empire. So much happened, particularly in the last half of the book. I had a number of theories from the first book, Daughter of the Drowned Empire, going into this book, and some were actually confirmed by the end. But let me reiterate. So. Much. Happens. Part of me doesn’t even know where to start because my mind is just a whirlwind after turning the last page.
This story alternates between the Girl and the Stranger. They are both lost souls who have forgotten everything to do with their pasts, and it shows them navigating the world separately as they try to remember who they are while starting a new life. The only hint of their past that they remember is the faint memory of someone who they cared for deeply, though they don’t recall the persons face or anything beyond their prior existence.
