Empire of Shadows by Jacquelyn Benson ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Genre: fiction, fantasy, historical, romance

Country:

Review:

Loved it. Honestly, what’s not to love about this book? The characters are solid and likable. The plot was unique and interesting. The slow burn romance is sweet perfection. The banter is top notch. This book has everything that I could’ve wanted. It was the perfect blend of adventure, action, and romance and it made me so happy. It will be a struggle to wait for the next installment.

Would I recommend this book?:

100%. I’ve already recommended this book.

Thank you NetGalley and Crimson Fox Publishing for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Title: The Charismatics

Author: Jacquelyn Benson

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2021

Genres: fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, romance, mystery, paranormal

Blurb: Lily Albright's visions could stop a killer...if she'll trust a reclusive aristocrat with her darkest secret. A monster stalks the gaslit streets of Edwardian London, draining the blood of the city's mediums, and Lily knows who's next. She is plagued by visions of the future she can never change. When a mysterious fiend threatens someone she loves, she's determined this time will be different...but she can't do it alone. To save a life, Lily must reveal her darkest secrets to someone she has little reason to trust: the reclusive Lord Strangford, a man haunted by his own unusual powers. From the glittering galleries of Bond Street to the rookeries of Southwark, Lily and Strangford plunge into a dark conspiracy that lies at the heart of England's rising eugenics movement. To thwart it, Lily must face a past rife with betrayal...and embrace the power she has spent her entire life trying to escape.

What the Ravens Sing

Credit: Pinterest board by Jacquelyn Benson

Lily Strangford can see the future. With the help of her fellow Charasmatic friends, she is able to better control her powers, her omyoudo. A mystical ability that seems to have little interest in the well-being of her and her loved ones in favour of the greater good. With the fate of WWI England and her loved ones on the line, Lily must become everything she fears and more.

I recently read What the Ravens Sing. The stunning conclusion to the The London Charasmatics series by Jacquelyn Benson. I love the entire series so much. When I saw the pictures pinned by Jacquelyn Benson herself, I could not help myself from sharing it here. Truly a beautiful series 😍

3, 4, 22, and 25 for the reading asks!

What were your top five books of the year? Ohh, I haven't thought too much about this yet, because I'm still holding out hope that I might read something really good over the holidays. But five books I really enjoyed this year are The Lightstruck by Sunya Mara, The Fire in the Glass by Jacquelyn Benson, All the Truth That's in Me by Julie Berry, The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison, and Memories of Ash by Intisar Khanani.

Did you discover any new authors that you love this year? Jacquelyn Benson! She's a self-pubbed author of historical fantasy. Her characters are endearing and her plots are tightly-woven. I was super impressed with Fire in the Glass, and the sequel, The Shadow of Water. So impressed, in fact, that I've decided to pause reading the rest of the series, because I'm just overwhelmed with feels! Lol, I mean, if you have more tolerance for self-sacrifice than I do, then you probably won't have the same issues I did. However, I don't often read historical fantasy, and this series kind of exemplifies why -- like, I feel that fantasy rooted in real historical events just doesn't have as much room for catharsis of punishment! You sorta have to be satisfied with the slap-on-the-wrist that, unfortunately, a lot of bad people get away with in the real world. Fortunately she's coming out with a lighthearted adventure series next year, so I'm eager to try that.

What's the longest book you read? Page-wise, probably The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien. Sentiment-wise, probably Lirael by Garth Nix. Lemme tell you, two teens wallowing in self-pity doesn't make for the best paced novel.

What reading goals do you have for next year? I want to finish off the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I've sorta been taking it easy by just trying to read one book a year. They're not exactly my cup of tea, but I wanted to know what the hype was about. The writing is exceptional and there are some valuable themes, even if I'm not super into the actual story. Likewise, I want to continue reading Narnia as well. This year I finally got around to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Finally, I say this every year but it's a tough goal to have: I want to read more Tagalog books. Sadly, there really just aren't many around, so while my personal demand is there, the supply is severely lacking.

Thank you for the asks!

FREE BOOK ALERT!

This series is amazing. Imagine if a non-psychic Charles Xavier got a bunch of people with powers together just before WWI and you have the idea. And the first book is free to download Saturday April 13 (and I think Sunday the 14th as well)!

NetGalley Review: Empire of Shadows by Jacquelyn Benson

Hey all, Sam here. Working at a job that doesn’t ever close, not even for holidays, it always throws me off when other places actually are closed for the holiday. Take today for instance. It’s Easter Sunday, and I had planned to spend a few hours at Panera working on my novel…but because I’m scheduled to work today, even though I knew it was Easter, my mind wasn’t thinking about the fact that…
