Shield of Sparrows is a romantic fantasy steeped in loyalty, danger, and slow-burning connection. Set in a richly layered world shaped by political tension and looming conflict, the story follows two characters bound together by circumstance—forced into proximity, forced into trust, and ultimately forced to confront what they’re willing to sacrifice for love and honor.…

Iron and Embers is a fantasy romance centered around a brutal, magic-laced world where power is earned through survival, not mercy. The story follows a fiercely determined female lead navigating dangerous trials, political tension, and a simmering enemies-to-lovers dynamic with a morally gray counterpart.

I didn’t just read this book; I fell into it, like a dive into cold water that somehow makes you feel more alive the deeper you go. There’s a specific kind of pull that doesn’t just keep you turning pages—it lodges itself in your chest. Iron and Embers has that exact gravity. It’s not quiet.…

Some books entertain you. Some books consume you. And then there are books like Alchemised—the kind that hollow you out a little, settle into your chest, and refuse to leave quietly. Going into this, I expected something closer to the romantasy lane I usually gravitate toward. What I got instead was a story that leans…

Some books grab you by the throat from page one. Others take their time—curling around you slowly, deliberately, until you suddenly realize you’re fully ensnared. When The Moon Hatched falls firmly into the latter category, and honestly? I loved the experience of sinking into it. When The Moon Hatched unfolds in a richly imagined fantasy…

There’s something intoxicating about the idea of a crumbling castle tucked in mist, a forbidden university where the walls remember their ghosts, and a brooding professor whose secrets are as thick as the fog rolling off the cliffs. Gothikana promises all of that—a romance draped in mystery, laced with melancholy—but the execution left me adrift…

Born of Blood and Ash had all the ingredients for a feast: a forbidden romance, a kingdom steeped in secrets, and a heroine caught between duty and desire. But instead of devouring it in one sitting, I found…

It’s Series Saturday here at Literary Gluttony, and I couldn’t resist sinking my teeth into one of the most talked-about romantasy sagas of recent years—Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Blood and Ash series. If you’ve been following my reviews, you know I’ve been devouring the books from the prequel series, Flesh and Fire, one by one, savoring…

There’s something addictive about diving back into Jennifer L. Armentrout’s worlds—like curling up with a decadent dessert you know you shouldn’t binge, but you can’t help yourself anyway. A Fire in the Flesh, the third book in the Flesh and Fire series, delivers exactly that kind of indulgence. We’re dropped back into Sera and Nyktos’s…

Lit up my Goodreads notifications, this one did—because when I open Armentrout’s pages I expect fireworks, gasp-worthy moments, and characters I ache for. A Light in the Flame gives you all that, mostly. It’s gorgeous at times, compelling, even haunting. But: I never quite surrendered to it fully. What grabbed me: Sera and Nyktos are…
