Legends spoke of old fury that would connect two lovers in such a way their souls seemed to bond like a song's harmony. Unbreakable.
It was ridiculous.
It ached.

It's that time of month! We have a lot of variety across different genres this time!
The Dark Prince by Raven Storm is a fantasy novel that claims to be a cross between the Phantom story and the Beauty and the Beast fairytale, featuring a girl who trades herself to a hideous prince to protect her loved ones only to realize that she's in over her head.
Extensions by Olympia Ruse is a modern-day adaptation featuring a Christine who works as a phone sex operator and becomes entangled with a mysterious, dangerous caller who falls in love with her voice.
The Phantom of Rock by Kaylee Harris is also a modern-day romance retelling of the story, featuring a superstar rock musician who hides from the public due to a disfigurement and an intrepid young woman who agrees to live in his house to get an exclusive interview.
Song of Sorrows and Fate by LJ Andrews is a bit of an odd duck; it's the ninth book in a fantasy epic that is, from what I can tell, not otherwise related to the Phantom story. But this one explicitly is, and is described as the Phantom colliding with Vikings, so what's not to be interested in?
A Tale from the Darkness by Kathrine WIllson and its sequel, Raising Gustave, is a retelling that seeks to center the story in Erik's point of view instead of Christine's or Raoul's, and a sequel retelling of Lloyd Webber's musical sequel, Love Never Dies, dealing with Erik being forced to grapple with parenthood.
And that's it for our midsummer offerings. See you next month!

The Ever King by LJ Andrews (out 09/20)
☆☆☆☆☆ | full review
"He wanted to avenge his father, I wanted to save mine. We were children of a war we didn't cause and were raised to despise each other, yet.... we couldn't seem to manage that one, simple task."

Reluctantly, my lungs filled with the odd scent of him, salt and leather and something sweet, like the sugared glazes in the hall.

The Broken Kingdom series by LJ Andrews is one of my favorite series I've read this year. It's one of my "Booktok made me do it" buys. Please, if you like fantasy romance and stabby people, nobody sleep on this one! I don't have a single book in this series I would rate below 4 stars.
It's like a fantasy Viking setting which I don't know if I've read before. It has great action and more decent representation than I usually read in this genre (gay rep, POC rep, a few characters with disabilities, etc). The romance is great but some might find the spice lacking, especially in the first set of three books.
My only kind of major criticism is the fact that some world building things aren't really explained...ever. You just sort of have to accept what she shows you and not ask questions.
The couple for the first three books was cute. I loved their story and I would love to see them in future books (which I think we will!!) but the second couple, in the last three books (third coming next year) is my favorite of the two.
For spoiler purposes, all I'll say is Legion is cute and he's firmly on my book boyfriend/girlfriend list, but Kase is just incredible. I love grumpy shadow man!!

Review: Dance of Kings and Thieves by L. J. Andrews
Review: Dance of Kings and Thieves by L. J. Andrews
I’m a little sad this portion of the Broken Kingdoms series is over. This last book really tied together the Northern and Eastern kingdom groups and proved what a family they are. Kase and Malin, Elise and Valen, Tor and Sol, and Hagen and Herja were tightly bound to each other and really proved to a still doubting Kase that family is more than blood.
There is a lot of action and we had to get…

A professor of medieval history, part time metalhead, and former Marine, Andrew Reeves is the creator and host of The Reeve’s Tale, a podcast all about the many ways “Middle Ages are awesome.”
Topics include: getting into Medieval Studies through D&D, through Tolkien, through fantasy and video games; Humanities academics being dopamine addicts, professors debasing themselves on social media for clout and engagement, Jordan Peterson as a worst case scenario, LiveJournal drama, flame wars, the rush of validation that comes from being published in academic journals vs. the narcissistic impulse to whip out the phone and post, the golden age of Extremely Online scholars, Andrew listening to podcasts when he’s painting his Warhammer 40,000 minis, becoming a Twitter personality as the gateway to brain worms, and how to deal with the day-by-day after you spend all of your life looking over to the next thing.
Let’s roll.
