Review of 'Heir of Storms'
A fast-paced fantasy with elemental magic, Heir of Storms pits like against like for crowns of power. A breathtaking and grounded fantasy, Heir of Storms had me hooked from beginning to end. I absolutely loved the world-building and the characterization, and cannot recommend it enough.

Review of 'Onyx Storm'
The third novel in the Empyrean series, Onyx Storm takes Violet out of her comfort zone and into foreign lands. Here’s my perspective on this novel—it was a decent read, though I found some aspects less engaging than I had hoped. While I appreciate it might be an unpopular opinion, I struggled with the pacing, as it felt like not much happened until the ending.

May Reading Wrap Up
Hey there, readers! I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to June. I only got to read 11 books this last month. But in my defense, I got really sick, and one of the books was over 800 pages.
