Book Review: Lies On The Serpent’s Tongue

Thank the heavens because Lies on the Serpent’s Tongue did not suffer from the dreaded ‘middle book syndrome’ wherein the whole series starts to fall apart due to eye-rolling fillers. Though I have not yet posted my review for the first book, Bittersweet in the Hollow, a simple Goodreads search would show that I gave it a 3-star rating due to issues that I just couldn’t let go. But that’s another story in a separate post. Let’s focus on the Lies on the Serpent’s Tongue. Well, not so much time has passed ever since the events in Book 1; everything…

Book Review: Moon Called

For my 4th or 5th Audiobook, I picked Mooncalled by Patricia Briggs to listen to and oh boy, I am glad I did because first and foremost, the narrator was wonderful. As someone who just started her Audiobook journey, I have a hard time listening to Audiobooks since English is not my native language, thus, accents can be confusing and my understanding through hearing is simply programmed to understand TV shows, English-dubbed animes, movies, and songs. Being focused for large part of time on a narrated text is something that I really have to learn because you know, I love growth. So…
