REVIews for The Gate
This was such a fresh take on immortality!!
I really enjoyed seeing Amarynn reveal more of herself beyond the tough exterior in small moments throughout this book.
The magic elements in this were fascinating and I cannot wait to see how this may carry over to the next book!
There is a lot of potential for book 2, and with that ending???? I should hope so! The way my jaw dropped!!!! Ahhh!

If you love dark magic, handsome princes, swords and beasts, and so much more, then this is for you. I love the fantasy and action aspects of the book which kept my attention and truly enjoying the story. I don't want to say too much to give anything away! The FMC is relatable and flawed which made her likeable. The author does an amazing job with the world-building and the unique personalities of the characters. We follow through the story with the characters able to see their growth and become more invested in them. This is a slow-burn novel but is more than the romance part of the plot. Run and get this book. You will enjoy this page-turner.

"... she wrapped her braid around her hand, reached up with a dagger, and sliced."
Nothing encapsulates the badassery of Amarynn, the main character, as this line. Amarynn is an IMMORTAL soldier for the Kingdom of Karth. Thats right, I said an IMMORTAL, and not a vampire type of IMMORTAL. This is a whole fresh take on immortality, and the world is built around this question: Where and why are people like Amarynn immortal?

reviews for The Mage crown
Definitely an easy 5 star read!
With the gate stone falling into the wrong hands Amarynn must face a daunting journey not only to retrieve what has been stolen, but to also face her inner demons.
As Amarynn set forth on her quest, she found herself haunted by long-forgotten memories. These memories, buried deep within her soul, began to unravel, revealing past traumas she had spent a lifetime to forget. The journey was not only a battle against external evils but a daunting task within herself. For fans of A Game Of Thrones and Throne Of Glass this is the book for you! Definitely an Epic Fantasy you don't want to miss out on. And I can not wait for the journey to continue in the next book!

The Mage Crown picks up after book one with the Gate stone and another powerful mage in the wrong hands. Prince Jael is forced into multiple difficult positions and Amarynn is haunted by her past as memories from another life start coming back to her. Both are also faced with revelations about who and what they are.
I love the strong, no-nonsense vibes that Amarynn brings to the table. When she sets her mind to something or decides she doesn't want or need anything from anyone, she isn't playing coy. She means it and will ditch everyone and do what she wants so fast, which tickles me. 😆 I also squealed at the tension of a potential love triangle for her!
The gradual world building is something that I really like in this series as well. The first book was super easy to get into without being overwhelming. The Mage Crown really expanded the story and the world. It set the stage for so many things to come, while also surprising me along the way. I enjoyed getting more of the villain side of things mixed in as well. There is still a lot unanswered and another climactic ending, so I will be eagerly awaiting the final book!
Also, so fun if you like overprotective sidekicks!
