Welcome back to Fantasy Friday!

And welcome back to the worlds of J. D. L. Rosell. Last time I reviewed A Fable of Blood and Omen in the Snow. I have finished the other short excerpts and am glad to report this just makes me want to explore this author even more! You can get this bundle by signing up for his email list. It is well worth it as a great intro to his works.

What I loved: Ranger’s Justice introduces the Ranger of the Titan Wilds series with an adventure Leiyn, a female ranger, has with some poachers who have the cruel audacity to try to kill a Titan, a race of gigantic beasts. This does not sit well with Leiyn who takes matters into her own hands after her leader and mentor leaves to bring reinforcements. She has a magical ability to open herself up to all the life forces around her which she has a love-hate relationship with. She considers it a curse, but at the same time, as it shows life so much vividly than the normal drabness, she misses those glimpses of fullness when they fade away. I took to Leiyn straightaway and look forward to reading more of her story! Secret Seller, prequel to The Famine Cycle, was not for me. I did not like the people, so hardly read anything, but that is okay because I have much to read already from this talented author! The first two chapters of The Legend of Tal also figures here and confirms my desire to get these books and dive right in. Same with the first three chapters of The Last Ranger, which follows Leiyn’s story. The first chapter has an intelligent fox who reminded me of the one who watched the hobbits in The Fellowship of the Ring. The prologue from The Throne of Ice and Ash, the first book of The Rune War saga follows. It may be worth pursing in the future. Last in an excerpt of Whispers of Ruin, book I of The Famine Cycle, which is better than the prequel.

I am also doing a BookSweeps giveaway of the start of my own epic series with The Gathering Storm available through October 2022.

Have you read any of these books? What did you think?
