Dramatic battles, tense political intrigue, unique world building...and is that maybe some romance I'm sensing? These books are not Romantasy but focus primarily on the SFF elements. Romance is a subplot and may not appear until later in the series, but when it does, you won't be disappointed.

An introduction to the SciFi genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

Fair warning, just in case people aren't anticipating it - this book ends on a cliffhanger. I found the plot to be a bit more convoluted this time around and as the cast of characters has expanded ever-outwards I get a bit more confused. I do like the use of varied POVs for each chapter.

This book felt smuttier than the previous two, but the story was still compelling. Character motivations mostly made sense and the writing style continues in its usual engaging form. The cast of characters feels bigger now that everyone's together and that can be a bit confusing. (I kept getting Walter and George confused), but on the whole it was a satisfying read. I would have loved to learn more about the mysterious startings of magic. But a book that is still fairly fulfilling but leaves me wanting a bit more is not a bad thing!

The characters are fun, although I miss the MC from the first book. The plot gets a little out of hand, but it remains a fun, spicy mystery.

A variety of compelling art styles and a diversity of main character cast means that I'm willing to keep going with volume 2, despite being a bit more confused than grabbed.

Okay, so I'll admit that I didn't expect to be wowed by this book. Maybe just a surface level cosy fantasy with a splash of romance to keep the cold at bay - but I was wrong. There's so much fun lore and depth. My only gripe was Emily's constant belligerence towards Brambleby! I'm looking forward to reading others in the series, especially as their relationship blossoms.

The characters a loveable and hateable - often at the same time. The pacing felt a bit off in places and I'd really hoped to find answers to the remnants. That said I was engaged throughout and really enjoyed reading this.
Post from the A' Hobat, no A-null 's Air Ais A-rithist: The Hobbit in Scottish Gaelic (Scots Gaelic Edition) forum
I've been learning Gaelic for a couple of years now and was wondering if anyone else was reading this - either as a native speaker or as a learner. I've come across a few words or phrases that I've struggled with and would love to find others to read along with!
