Book Review…Empire's Heir by Marian Thorpe Some games are played for mortal stakes. Gwenna, heir to Ésparias, is summoned by the Empress of Casil to compete for the hand of her son. Offered power and influence far beyond what her own small land can give her, Gwenna’s strategy seems clear – except she loves someone else. Nineteen years earlier, the Empress outplayed Cillian in diplomacy and intrigue. Alone, his only living daughter has little chance to counter the Empress's experience and skill. Aging and torn by grief and worry, Cillian insists on accompanying Gwenna to Casil. Risking a charge of treason, faced with a choice he does not want to make, Cillian must convince Gwenna her future is more important than his – while Gwenna plans her moves to keep her father safe. Both are playing a dangerous game. Which one will concede – or sacrifice? This is the sixth book for the Empire's Legacy series and so far each book has been a fantastic read and this book is no different! I have come to really enjoy all of the characters! Each of them has grown and changed throughout the series! The writing is fantastic! The world that Marian Thorpe has created is amazing! I love the balance that Thorpe has created between the realistic feel and the fantasy and adventure! Absolutely amazing series! #empireslegacy #empiresheir #MarianThorpe #historicalfiction #fantasyread #books #booknerd #bookreview #bookstagram #bookish #read #readstagrammer #booksta #booklover #greatread https://www.instagram.com/p/CeD9sc8tLbR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I made a TBR for September! On my YouTube Channel, I started asking for book recs for each month. I am choosing the top 4 books, any genre, from my weekly vlogs that get the most attention and comment replies. I write this blog and film YouTube videos so I can talk to people about books, so it makes sense that I read some books that you guys want to talk about. If you want to get in on this action click here and reply in the comment section the book, you want me the read on my most recent Weekly Vlog. I try to post my weekly updates here on the blog but some times I can't get to it. September TBR Picks From You Guys I like going into books blind. Another reason why I think asking you guys for recs each month will be fun. So I am going to give very little of an overview. Just enough to tell you if I think I will like it or not. I will link these books to amazon and good reads for you guys to check out if you want to. So my friend @LiteratureLila gave me some recs for September. Both of these books I have had my eye on, but this just moves them to the top of the TBR list. Scythe by Neal Shusterman Goodreads Amazon BookShop Scythe is a young adult sci-fi fantasy dystopian. I have seen this book reviewed a ton on booktube and a few blogs. It seems the be well-liked. This world is basically the definition of utopia. No hunger, sickness, or death. Which leaves a population problem. So they train teens (Scythes) to kill people for population control. Read the full article
