Magical Readathon: Orilium - Choose Your Own Adventure: Year In Aeldia 2025, The Boardgame - November Update

     

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the book I read this month for Choose Your Own Adventure: Year In Adelia, The Boardgame,  You can see my full tbr here.  Without further ado, check out my mini review for my November book below:

❋ ❋ ❋

The Birth of a King (The Legends of Kinthoria #1) by Deborah Marsh and Carol Marsh is a decent epic fantasy series opener.  The characters are the most interesting part of a story that otherwise doesn't need to be almost 450 pages long.  Going into the story, I had figured out that it was a Christian fantasy.  It's usually fairly subtle, but at times it almost feels like a straight up sermon.  I'm not sure if it's supposed to come off that way or not, but whatever the case it really took me out of the story.  Anyway, I also thought I'd mention that I totally picked this up from a thrift store because it totally looks like Legolas, Aragorn, and Boromir in the background on the cover.  There's no way that that's a coincidence! 

My review is also on Goodreads and The StoryGraph.

Next Month: 

December - 11C → 12C Steal transmitter and stream band song (as you run up the, too many, stairs to the control chamber, you use a stunning charm on the warden unlucky enough to have gotten this shift. He surely did not expect anything of note to happen. How wrong was he! Three of the Implings seem to have loads of fun tangling the warden in some old rope (not very effectively but they seem to have too much fun so you don’t interfere). Onto the next task! You put your best tinkering skills to use and fiddle with the transmitter. There’s one in every tower, for emergencies and what not. Some would count this as just as important. Granted, most would not. This will broadcast to most homes in the area. And it’s a big tower. Should reach many! Okay, 3..2…1 and PLAY. You and the Implings explode in a song, some of your best work. Three of your favourite songs. The Mages Naked Eyes, Pants on Fire and Can’t Stop Tooting. All hits, truly. You flee through the window (broom to the rescue!) as the back up wardens barge in. Your adventures yield you the friendship of 6 unhinged Implings and a famous song written about you!) - read a book you’ve heard is humorous.

My choice: Dead Man's Hand (The Unorthodox Chronicles #1) by James J. Butcher - I've been putting this off for way too long.  It's finally time this year to start in on this series, even if I'm getting around to it December!
