There is nothing better than a good pirate story especially when you have a bad ass female character like Iona Strider! My favorite line was in Chapter 60:
“I lurch forward to my knees, our face is close, the blade even closer. It’s funny. All of this. No matter what I do, I’m some sort of a bitch. I punch back, and I’m a mad bitch. I say no to your putrid advances, and I’m a cold bitch. Feral bitch. Abominable bitch. But it doesn’t bother me. Not anymore. You know why?
His eyes are too unapologetic pits, and I feel nowhere remorse for what happens next. I’m the bitch holding the blade now.”
Total badass bitch!!!
And the build up to the hot interludes with Iona & Liam!!! 🔥🥵
I am not usually a fan of Fantasy but boy am I hooked now! I’m ready for Book 2!!! I can’t wait to see her make them run!
Thank you so much! Daggermouth definitely seems to be under the radar but I suspect it will emerge once fantasy fans discover it. Perhaps it will be one of those series that grows as more instalments are released 👀
I am not a fantasy reader but the reviews have me intrigued. I will check them out. Great post, thank you for sharing.
I loved Atmosphere and just picked up Yesteryear! Excited to give it a whirl.
I really appreciate the warning re: Daggermouth; I don't need a year of anticipation, but I'm mentally noting it for Spring 2027!
Daggermouth is high on my TBR and you just put it higher! I've heard nothing but good things!
Blackwater-Emily Blakeney. 1st Book in a Trilogy.

That sounds super interesting! Nothing is better than a fantasy with a strong female. I’ll check it out
What a wrap-up!
The Baby Dragon Cafe was a fun and easy one for me.
Yesteryear is "on the list".
Daggermouth - THIS sounds good and hasn't been on my radar at all.
I'll have to research the others a bit more.
Thanks for putting this together.

I'm a third of the way through Daggermouth, thanks for the recommendation.
