“A time will come,” she said, “when all of us will have to make a choice between what is right and what is wrong. I worry that time is closer than we think. And I don’t know that we’re prepared." ~ Larmina, from Somewhere Beyond The Sea by TJ Klune.

I would have liked a bit more exposition in the timeline. I had to reread the beginning of Sorrow of the Wise Man to place it because it had been a while since I had read it. Just a tiny bit more information would have made it easier to recall

4.5/5⭐ It was nice to get some perspective into Deremir's journey after he was exiled & how he started becoming who he was meant to be. He is a compelling character in the Eileerean Saga & this novella only expanded on my love for him

"As I held his hand, I asked, "Do you ever wish you could change the world?"
His eyelashes drifted down, and his smile widened. "All the time."
"And what do you do?"
He shrugged. "Change myself.""

I thought I could guess motives and who was friend or foe, but I did not see the ending coming at all. I love a book that does that to me!
I'm so glad I was approved for an ARC via #NetGalley because this is one of my favorites of the year

5⭐ I was hooked from the beginning & am wondering how I will make it until May 2026 to read the rest. I loved everything about this from the world building to the magic system to the games to the intrigue. #BookSky #BookReview #MyDearIllusion #NetGalley #urbanfantasy #romance #ARCreader #ARC 💙📚🪐📚⏰

It easily could have been a 4.5+ book for me if things had been clearer. I will read the next book as I am interested in seeing how the story develops.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for my honest thoughts.

3.75/5⭐ I found this gothic magical mystery pulled me into the spooky vibes immediately. The tone & setting were well done. But the world building was splotchy & it was oftentimes hard to figure out who was fighting for whom or even why #BookSky #Bookreview #fantasy #ARCreader #ARC 💙📚🪐📚🌶️📚⏰📚💬📚📸

...waking up of a certain character and the villain manifesto. It also really didn't have much at all to do with magic except the very beginning and end. Even still, I enjoyed the story. #BookSky #Bookreview #mystery #gothic #BookTok #Bookstagram #BookTube 💙📚⚡📚⏰📚💬📚📸

4/5⭐ This read like a love letter to Wales & Welsh mythology & I felt it. The setting was immersive & really made me feel the pull of the land. The story was set up quite well but the ending seemed a bit thrown together w/ the convenient... #BookSky #Bookreview #mystery #gothic #BookTok 💙📚⚡📚⏰📚💬📚📸

My only slight complaint was the way it ended, even though I found this thought-provoking. It felt a bit like the easy way out to just have the moon come back, but I also don't know that there would be a more satisfying ending, either #BookSky #Bookreview #scifi #specfic #BookTok #BookTube

Bridget the Book Dragon 💙📚 @fierybri.bsky.social · 4d

The way the story followed a different character each chapter (w/ each chapter being a day in the cycle of the moon) was as interesting as you might expect & added a nice layer of storytelling. I loved nearly everything about this

MMC constantly scolds FMC for not knowing what is going on but won't fill her in. There's so much going on w/ the plot that it's hard to really know what is happening. I know some of that is the point but the constant info dumping obscured that

This had a lot of promise but wasn't executed great. Evie & Kit's relationship is so odd to me (instalust w/ a heavy side of controlling ex boyfriend gaslighting vibes + a dash of some Freudian "you look like your mom" throwbacks).
