Sunbolt by Intisar Khanani

Posted 05/15/2023 by Charli in Book Reviews / 0 Comments

Today I’m bringing you a review of a short, but very cool middle young adult fantasy – Sunbolt by Intisar Khanani. Sunbolt is the first book in The Sunbolt Chronicles and it came in 3rd in the 2022 BBNYA. Congrats! I loved that Sunbolt is a short read. So many of the fantasy novels I read are 300-500 pages long and just seem to take so long for me to read that I end up not wanting to read them. So the fact that this one is only 152 pages is a huge plus in my opinion. I also loved the writing in Sunbolt. It wasn’t overly flowery, it wasn’t overly long on the narration. It gave you the information you needed, when you needed it. You won’t have to wade through two pages of unnecessary descriptions to read this book. It’s simple, easy to follow, and just plain awesome. […]

Today I have a BBNYA 2022 Finalist Review for Inheriting Her Ghosts by S.H. Cooper. Inheriting Her Ghosts came in 4th for BBNYA 2022! Congrats! The Book The Review If there’s one thing we know about me, it is that I love horror novels. While I don’t review a ton of them here on Charli’s Book Box, I love to read them. So of course, I was thrilled to be selected to review Inheriting Her Ghosts by S.H. Cooper. I’ll be honest, I had no idea what to expect when I started reading this one but I’ll say this, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll start this off by saying if you’re not a fan of slow-burn horror novels, this one may not be for you. But I’d still recommend giving it a chance because you never know. Inheriting Her Ghosts focuses on Eudora Fellowes and her struggle with her newly […]

They Lie Here by NS Ford

Our review for today is for They Lie Here by NS Ford. This post is one of the stops on the blog tour for this book. Thank you to TheWriteReads/BBNYA for allowing me to be a part of this tour. They Lie Here is an interesting mystery/thriller that also has some elements of science fiction… all centered around a woman trying to find out what happened to a musician from the 1980s who has disappeared. Kat Green is a former teen pop star who is trying to escape her past while also trying to “help” other former celebrities come out of hiding by finding them. I have to say, she isn’t a particularly likeable gal – after all, her main business is being a nosy woman who won’t leave celebrities who aren’t in the spotlight anymore alone. Her target in They Lie Here? Roskoe Darke, formerly of Scorpio Hearts. I […]

Our review for today is for The Reaper’s Quota by Sarah McKnight. This tour is part of TheWriteReads blog tour. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this blog tour. Ok, anyone who knows me knows that I love things that have to do with the Grim Reaper. I mean, I even have a Grim Reaper based Pathfinder 2 character (a sorceress named Reaper who casts Necromancy spells, wears a black robe, carries a scythe, and has a raven for a familiar). So I was thrilled to be selected for this blog tour. There is only one character we really need to worry about with this book and that is Reaper #2497. He remembers his name from when he was human and he also wants to know all the other Reapers’ names. He’s a super funny, super interesting character. It makes me wonder why all the other […]
