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

Happy Sunday everyone! Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the book I read in August 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:

August - 8B - Use Truelight (the darkness here is all consuming, it's dimming your light spells, the torch goes out, even your thoughts are turning against you.  You've read that only Truelight works under these mountains, luckily you've been gifted some and it's time to activate it) - read a book with a world "light" in the title

❋ ❋

Spiderlight by Adrian Tchaikovsky wasn't quite my style unfortunately. I really liked the idea of this one as a light fantasy, but the tone of the author's writing style didn't mesh with what he was going for in my mind. It worked well for the sci-fi I've read from him but not so much here in comparison.

My review is also on Goodreads and The StoryGraph.

Next Month:

September - 9B - Inspect frost (the mountain walls glimmer with an odd frost that is illuminated by your Truelight.  It's a very peculiar type of frost, you've never seen anything like this, it seems to dance and move with you... how odd.  You must collect some investigate later.) - read a book with a light blue cover 

My choice: Celtika (The Merlin Codex #1) by Robert Holdstock - Merlin meets Jason and the Argonauts sounds pretty cool to me.
