These Burning Stars and Amina El-Sirafi are beyond excellent!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 If you want an adventure, read Amina in front of a mist fan and you will feel as though you are riding on the seas with her and her crew. 🤣

I read These burning stars after I saw your fav books of 2023 video, and it really blew me away. I still can't stop thinking about how good that book is. Afterwards I got adventures of amina al sirafi, children of time and the grace of kings lol. After that book I definitely trust your recommendations;) ps. I've had the 12 kings of... for awhile and i sorta dnf it (barely gave it chance tbh)but i'll give it another try!

I just bought These Burning Stars for my Kindle. I noticed that your recommendations are often of books I’ve loved in the pas, like The Will of the Many. By the way, have you read Brian McClellan’s, “In the Shadow of Lightning”? That’s been my book of the year so far and is amazing. Full of living breathing characters that you care about and grow to love, a mystery that grips you, wonderful world building and an incredible rollercoaster of a plot that makes it unputdownable. James Islington’s three recommendations on Fantasic Fiction are: The Silverblood Promise, The Trials of Empire, and In the Shadow of Lightening and the latter is in the same league as the other books.
