  Hey ForeverBookers,   How are you today? I hope you’re good!  (This should have gone up after my “A Dawn Of Onyx” review)! I’ve just read  “A Promise Of Peridot,”  the sequel to  “A Dawn Of Onyx”  the book I read last and I really LOVED it JUST as much as book 1, if not more… “A Promise Of Peridot”  is more plot heavy than  “A Dawn Of Onyx.”  I didn’t mind this in this book, I think because the romance is a key part of the plot.  We start where book 1 ended. Arwen’s mother has just died on the way to the Peridot Kingdom. Our MMC, Kane is at war with his father, Lazarus. They stop in Citrine for a time, which is a land underwater. It was interesting to read the differences between different kingdoms and see what made them unique. Here, in Citrine, Arwen, Kane, Mari and Griffin need to get answers to how to kill Lazarus! Can they or are they pulled in different directions? I’ll let you read for yourself.  “A Promise Of Peridot...

  Hey ForeverBookers,   Earlier on, I finished “The Cuckoo’s Calling” by Robert Galbraith and I really, surprisingly enjoyed it!  “The Cuckoo’s Calling” is a crime novel by Robert Galbraith also known as JK Rowling. This was very different from Harry Potter but still great! The Cuckoo’s Calling is a modern day crime novel focused on the death of a model. The MMC, Cormoran Strike is a funny fool but  he’s very lovable. The FMC, Robin is a very astute young woman that just wants a break in life. She has a rather controlling fiancé, it gets revealed in later books (I know this from the TV series)! 4 Stars! I enjoyed the character dynamics, more than the plot itself, which was still good but any murder/mystery follows the same path, I feel. I loved seeing Strike, our investigator, engage with Robin, his new assistant and others in the plot. It was good to see Strike’s personality shift from the negative man at the beginning, who doesn’t have much of a life, liv...

  Hey ForeverBookers,   How are you all today? I hope you’re well! I’ve just finished  “Somewhere Beyond The Sea”  by TJ Klune and I really enjoyed it!!! It was very sweet and wholesome and quite funny in places too!  4 Stars! We follow our main characters, Arthur Parnassus and Linus Baker from book 1,  “The House In The Cerulean Sea”  as they try to make their home for delinquent youths ready for another. All of this goes well, until DICOMY or the Department In Charge Of Magical Youth gets involved. They want to challenge Arthur because they believe him to be an inadequate host to the magical youths he’s looking after. Of course, Linus, our MMC from book 1 is very supportive of Arthur. He’s in love with him, even. Do the children get moved or do they get to stay in the house on the Cerulean Sea? I’ll let you read for yourself! I read “Somewhere Beyond The Sea” for a couple of readathons. They were:  Reading Rivalry - Eleven’s Eggos - I don’t know...

  Hey ForeverBookers, How are you all? I hope you’re well! I’ve just finished “A Dawn Of Onyx” by Kate Golden and I LOVED it! “A Dawn Of Onyx” follows our female main character, Arwen as she goes on an adventure to discover just who she is. What I loved most about “A Dawn Of Onyx” I think, was that the plot was focused around the romance more than anything else. I also loved how the story was told from first person perspective, as this is my preferred way to read. I like getting inside the FMC’s head.  5 Stars! “A Dawn Of Onyx” starts with Arwen and her family in a rough situation. They’re a poor family that don’t really have much. The Lands of the Stones, where this novel is set is at war. I loved the setting and how there were different kingdoms based on different stones. Each kingdom has its own characteristics. The Garnet Kingdom, where Arwen and family live at the beginning of “A Dawn Of Onyx” are at war with the Onyx kingdom. Most of the novel takes place in...
