Magical Readathon: Orilium - Choose Your Own Adventure: Year In Aeldia 2026, The Boardgame - April Update

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the book I read in April for Choose Your Own Adventure: Year In Adelia 2026, The Boardgame, an additional challenge to G. @ Book Roast's Magical Readathon.  You can see my full tbr here.  Without further ado, check out my mini review below:

April - April's book can be part of your Spring Equinox TBR if you’re participating and it fits both prompts. 4B Find your winter cloak (as the terrain changes you realise the clothes you left with just won't do - you need something much warmer!) - book by an author with a W in their name

❋ ❋

Ashes in the Sun (Burningblade & Silvereye #1) by Django Wexler has such an interesting premise. I've been putting it off for awhile because I haven't had the best experience with this author, and unfortunately I didn't particularly care for this story either. I wish the story wasn't so long and drawn out, had more focus, and characters that weren't dumb as rocks. Also, as I was reading I found myself surprised that this was marketed as an adult book because sometimes it comes across as very much YA. Maybe I wasn't in the right mindset for this since I was expecting something different, but I was definitely in the minority with this book.

My review is also on Goodreads and The StoryGraph.

Next Month: 

May - 5B - Enter cave (Darkmeadows surface is too harsh so you find the nearest cave and hope it leads deeper in to the intricate Darkmeadow underground network - read a dystopia

My choice: Typhoon (Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead #9) by Wesley Chu - I haven't read or watched anything of The Walking Dead, but this sounds different and cool extension of the story.
