“Reigning Embers” | A Recommendation

Cover Imagery for Reigning Embers by S.L. Slias on Kindle Vella

Reigning Embers is such a great piece of writing. It's a great example of how to create a character-centric fantasy. Connecting with the character first allows readers like myself the chance to more easily digest the fantasy world-building (and romance, lol)

“Freaktown” | A Recommendation

Freaktown by Simon Graeme on Kindle Vella

Freaktown has a gritty and dark atmosphere to it, highlighted through the use of character-focused fantasy world building.

“Slit Throat Saga” | A Recommendation

Slit Throat Saga is a Kindle Vella Serial Fiction by Teshelle Combs

Slit Throat Saga is a wild ride featuring Meta Humans (whose blood runs clear) and a society that sees them as abominable monsters dead set on eradicating them from existence. But all is not as it seems.

“Tenebrous” | A Recommendation

Featured Imagery for Liz Johnson's Tenebrous

I binged the first three in one sitting, I could not let it go. That said, what I love most, is her infusion of mythology and lore from our world to develop the supernatural elements of Tenebrous', making it intrinsically digestible for readers from the get-go.

“The Harpy Rises” | A Recommendation

Kindle Vella Cover for T.A. Uner's The Harpy Rises

I am a hit or miss fantasy reader, but all you bookworms looking for your next magical female chosen one, may want to buckle in for Rysa's amazing journey!

“The Wild Country Series” | A Recommendation

Kindle Vella Cover Image for The Wild Country Series

This has been my biggest surprise so far, I think. The world building is gradual, but perfectly executed. The world building is visceral, and the characters are really enjoyable. Can't wait to dive back into this one!
