It’s hard to beat a good heist–especially when the crew is a ragtag group of misfits. Throw in some Welch mythology, and you have The Drowned Woods! This was the first book I’ve read with Welch mythology, and I loved it! Now, I need all of the Welch mythology books. Someone send me some recommendations. […]

[Caitlyn’s Review]: From Dust, a Flame by Rebecca Podos
What I truly love about fantasy at any level is its ability to invite readers into various cultures, seeped in ethnic and religious symbolism. I love books that introduce me to the pagan rituals of medieval Russia and the godly war of ancient Greece; they invite a new perspective, a new nuance to a tried-and-true […]
[Portia’s Review: River of Shadows (Underworld Gods #1) by Karina Halle]
I have been so excited to read this book! I love mythology of all types, and Finnish is not one I have read much into, so I like that it wasn’t the usual Greek mythology, as is so often the case now days. I also love when Karina Halle writes darker books – she is […]
[Skye’s Review]: Electric Idol (Dark Olympus #2) by Katee Roberts
Neon Gods was the first book I have ever read by Katee Robert. I fell in love with her take on Hades and Persephone. When I heard about the next installment in her Dark Olympus series, I knew I needed it in my hands as soon as possible. This time around, I had no idea […]
[Caitlyn’s review]: Daughter of Sparta (Daughter of Sparta #1) by Claire M. Andrews

For me, great Greek […]
[Skye’s Review]: Neon Gods (Dark Olympus #1) by Katee Robert
Wow. That’s all I can say. This book took me by surprise in the best way. Retellings can be hit or miss. This book was most definitely a hit. In fact, I think this is my favorite Hades and Persephone retelling that I’ve read! This book drew me in from the very first page. It […]
[Skye’s Review:] The Bright & the Pale by Jessica Rubinkowski
For this book, I thought it would be best to make two lists to showcase my thoughts. Things I liked: –The mythology. I can’t wait to learn more about the Bright and Pale gods in the next book! I feel like we barely skimmed the surface of the mythology surrounding the gods in this book. […]
[Skye’s Review]: Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
Calling all King Arthur fans, this book will be your newest obsession. I’ve come across a lot of interpretations of the legend of King Arthur, but this one is the most unique. I had a lot of fun reading this book, and I think you will too. The main character of this book is Bree […]
