Sunsplitter – ARC Review
Hello, everyone! Today I'm reviewing Sunsplitter by S.A. MacLean. I really enjoyed the first book in this duology, Voidwalker. So much so, that I've actually read it twice in the last year. As such, I was super excited to get an ARC of the second book. Did it live up to my lofty expectations? Read on to find out!

This takes the real history of Anne of Brittany, and takes it into the realm of fantasy during the vibrant time period between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.🗡️

My toxic trait is writing "review to come" on Goodreads and then never updating it.

Book Review : The Dragon Has Some Complaints
When I read the blurb for The Dragon Has Some Complaints, I immediately pictured the classic three-headed dragon meme, where each head has a wildly different personality. Whether or not that is where the inspiration for this novel comes from, this three-headed dragon—named Garrodigh—does have very distinct personalities. Each head is referred to by their position on the body of the dragon—Centerhead, Upperhead, and Bottomhead, and formerly, Lefty.
