Thanks to TorForge for some great #bookmail. I’m reading Carolina Moonset now. It’s set in Beaufort, SC and it’s not often a mystery/thriller is set here. Have you read any books set where you live or in your state? #torforgebooks #forgebooks #carolinamoonset #mattgoldman #wakeofwar #zactopping #projectnamahana #johnteschner #december41 #williammartin #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #readersofig #bookreview #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs (at White Rock, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdfyb96L-c4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Starless Crown is the first book in a new series by James Rollins. "A young student has dreams of an apocolypse. Her reward is a death sentence. She flees and finds herself drawn to a team of outcasts - a broken soldier, a drunken prince, an imprisoned thief that escaped with a gleaming artifact that is wanted by many. They must learn to trust each other to survive...because doom is coming." This book marks a departure from the Action/Thriller that Rollins has typically written. His books have often had a fantasy element but this book is full on fantasy. Often in a new fantasy story, an author will spend a lot of time with "World Building" but Rollins makes it easy on the reader. The descriptions and names don't slow down the story. Your pulled into the characters and pulling for the good guys and yelling at the bad guys. The bronze woman is fantastic. The action sequences are fantastic - giant bats - wind ships - lots of explosions. There are some loose ends but Rollins resolves the story enough to give the reader satisfaction. Very fast read for a long book. Great beginning to this new series from Rollins. Thanks to @netgalley and @torbooks for the advanced copy. #thestarlesscrown #jamesrollins #netgalley #torbooks #torforgebooks #adultfantasybooks #sigmaforce #fantasyseries #bookseries #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #fantasythriller #thriller #actionadventure https://www.instagram.com/p/CYRPxddroqy/?utm_medium=tumblr

*<*<*Book Review*>*>*> “What someone is means nothing about what kind of person they are. Truth is in actions.” Have you ever bought a book or got so excited waiting for a book to release that you thought the world would end before you could read it? Everything you hear about the book makes it 10 times harder to wait for it, but then you get it and read it the minute it is in your hands! Then the rug is pulled out from under you, you're like W.T. F this is nothing like I thought it was going to be. Well, let me tell you! All the hype that has been about She Who Became The Sun has been spot on and then so much more! This is the first book in the duology Radiant Emperor. A reimagining of the rise of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in a time when the boys are destined for greatness and the girls well to be nothing. But Zhu isn’t willing to accept this. Zhu’s resilience, and desire to survive no matter the cost, you can’t help but admire her. This book was written beautifully! Shelley Parker-Chan took love, desire, duty, war, vengeance and mix them altogether and delivered a magnificent story! I look forward to the second book and another adventure with Zhu! Happy reading everyone! #shewhobecamethesun #torforgebooks #bookreview #bookrecommendation #historicalfiction #goodreads #paperbackbooks #bookstagram (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRW3IHTLLQo/?utm_medium=tumblr
