Eversong (The Kindred Book 1) by Donna Grant

5 Stars

Enjoyed it more the second time

I originally read this in May 2019, and only rated it 4 stars.  This is an updated re-release by Donna Grant, and I’ve enjoyed it more this time around.  I cannot pick out where changes were made, which is a good thing.  The story centers on Leoma and Braith, who meet while trying to find a witch.  Most witches are evil, but not all, and Leoma can pick out a witch easily.  The story flows, and for our 2 hunters they have a book about them.  But the larger story continues with Everwylde, book 2 in the series.  Characters are well-developed and the plot is interesting.  I have a copy of book 1 but received a new copy from the author.  This is my honest opinion. 

The Twice-Scorned Lady of Shadow (The Guild Codex: Unveiled #3) by Annette Marie

Another wild ride!

Annette Marie has crafted another compelling story for the reader’s enjoyment.  It picks up where Book 2 left off, and it grabs you by the throat and drags you into this incredible world of Druids, Fae, Guilds, and magic and more.  I cannot say enough about Annette Marie and her abilities as an author, writer, and graphic artist.  Each of the books in this larger Guild Codex world are finely crafted and interwoven.  Descriptive and heart pounding with the peril and excitement that the characters are feeling.  Emotional and despairing.  But also, she instills in them the feelings of hope, loyalty, trust, and love.  Read the Guild Codex series, and you’ll become hooked on the story-telling abilities of this amazing author. 

The Long-Forgotten Winter King (The Guild Codex: Unveiled Book 2) by Annette Marie

What a story!

Annette Marie has written another fantastic book! Exciting and intriguing, this is more Saber and Rikr’s tale, with a bit of Zak and Lallakai. I didn’t care much for Saber’s character in the first book and that didn’t change until about halfway through this one. But Annette Marie writes such compelling characters, that each are both good and bad and weak and strong – in the end the reader can’t help but feel for each of them. Well done! And I’m waiting anxiously for Book 3. As always, this book is well written, with great character development. Read the prior books for the best experience
