This book picks up right where the previous one ended. Erzen and Bethral were taken through a portal filled with wild magic to the heart of the Plains where they find themselves being attacked by Warrior-Priests who want Erzen’s magic. I enjoyed this trip back to the Plains, especially since we finally get to learn … More Review: Destiny’s Star by Elizabeth Vaughan
Lady High Priestess Evelyn was kidnapped by Orrin Blackhart, the Scourge of Palins, and expects to be abused and killed but instead finds herself falling for Blackhart. While I found Evelyn to be a bit snobbish in the previous book, I changed my mind about her in this one. She is compassionate, kind, and determined … More Review: White Star by Elizabeth Vaughan
I apparently read this series years ago, but I remember none of it. Red Gloves is a mercenary and extremely practical woman. She may be attracted to the goat herder Josiah but also isn’t amused by the belief that she is the prophesied one who will save their corrupted kingdom.

The events that happened in that series tie directly into this series and affect the … More Review: WarDance by Elizabeth Vaughan

Lara and Keir’s story continues with them making their way to the Heart of the Plains so Lara can be declared Warprize. Like the previous books, this was another emotional one that kept me hooked to the story. I couldn’t put it down and finished it within a few hours. Lara and Keir continue to … More Review: Warlord by Elizabeth Vaughan
This book picks up shortly after the end of the previous one. This book hits differently after the pandemic because this involves an epidemic that kills a lot of people, including some beloved characters. This is the first hurdle Keir and Lara have to deal with in their relationship. They both make mistakes but it … More Review: Warsworn by Elizabeth Vaughan
It’s been over ten years since I read this series but Xylara and Keir’s story is still one that resonates with me and lives rent free in my head. I used to reread this series almost every year but college and a career got in the way, and now I am back and there are … More Review: Warprize by Elizabeth Vaughan
