Dance of a Burning Sea by E.J. Mellow
A Spoiler Free Review
This one was a lot of fun, much more than the first. I enjoyed the world-building. Made everything seem much more solid and weirdly grounded than the last book. Probably helps that Niya actually went somewhere other than a dreary, moorish manor house.
The relationship between Niya and Alos was definitely well explored in this book. I found it alright, as far as these things go. Wasn’t really in it for the romance, but it wasn’t shoehorned in, so I’ll take it. Their chemistry is interesting, at least.
Alice in Wonderland: The Vampire Slayer by J.J. Maddox
A Spoiler Free Review
Pacing is definitely reminiscent of the original Alice: In Wonderland. Some of the original “Alice” characters are present, though not all. Alice herself is definitely more capable than the original, I’m sure the age difference helped that, among other things. Pretty interesting. Wasn’t overly fond of the way vampires work… a certain “vein” thing had me rolling my eyes when it was finally completely explained. But yeah, other than that, this was a quick, mostly enjoyable read.
