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

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

June - 6B - Solve traps (turn right, good news - this definitely has to lead somewhere, bad news - someone really tried to make sure not everyone passed because the cave is riddled with traps!) - read a mystery book

I wanted to like The Undetectables (The Undetectables #1) by Courtney Smythe a lot more than I did. It's trying to do too much and it can't decide what it's trying to do.  Some books can juggle multiple tones/ styles well, but this one doesn't do it well enough to merit rating this higher.  It had potential, but didn't live up to my expectations.  It strikes me as something that could grow into itself as a series, but I don't think I'm interested enough at this time to find out if that's the case.

My review is also on Goodreads and The StoryGraph.


Next Month: 

July - 7B - Read whilst on watch (a bit on edge after those traps, who set them up? Best stay on a watch before getting some sleep, good thing you have a great tome with you) - read this book entirely in the PM hours

My choice: Jack of Kinrowan (Jack of Kinrowan #1-2) by Charles de Lint - This duology bind up features both Jack, the Giant Killer and Drink Down the Moon.  It's brand of urban fantasy sounds like it could be fun.
