This week, I've got a couple of fantasy book reviews to share with you. I really enjoyed these two books. One of them is a full-sized novel. The other is a novella. Both authors have created rich worlds to set their stories in. Read on to check out my reviews.
Book Review: Queen of Extinction by Gwynn White (book 1 in the series "Queen of Extinction")
 Queen of Extinction by Gwynn WhiteMy rating: 5 of 5 stars An excellent book! I'm so happy I took the time to read this well written, superbly plotted, and beautifully painted story. On top of that, the characters were amazingly well crafted. There was no difficulty in putting myself into this world while I read. And I didn't have trouble telling one character from the next. The way the authors added in the fae and industrial steampunk into this fantasy tale was interesting, to say the least. I don't think I've ever read another book like it. The story continues in the next book and I'd really like to read it, though I'm not sure when I'll be able to. There's enough closure in this book that I'm happy to just imagine what might happen in the next book for now. It's marketed as a dark Sleeping Beauty retelling and I can see hints of that fairytale in the story. The nice thing about it is it's like no other Sleeping Beauty story I've read. I took my time reading this one and I'm not sorry I did. There's nothing quite like savoring a good book. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy tales with lots of magic, adventure, action, and romance. It may also appeal to lovers of fairytale retellings.

 A Thorne in Time: An Eva Thorne prequel novella by Lorel ClaytonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars Wonderful world building! The characters are also fascinating. I'm definitely ready to read more about them and their world. I'd recommend this book to MG and teen readers who enjoy fantasy and dark fantasy, steampunk, and adventure tales. View all my reviews
My review was so short for this one but to be honest, so was the book. I don't know how much I could say without giving away spoilers. It was certainly a nice way to introduce the reader to the author's book world and to the main character in this series. There were definitely twists which were surprising and lots of sections I'd love to hear more about later on. When I get a chance, I will try to read more in this series.
