Title: The Serpent and the Wings of Night
Series: Crowns of Nyaxia, Book 1
Author: Carissa Broadbent
Publisher: #indieauthor (this edition)
Publication Date: August 30th, 2022
I’ve actually had this book sitting in my Kindle since around the time it was published. Why did I hesitate to read it? Probably because I was pretty sure I’d like it and didn’t feel this overwhelming push to read it right away. That feeling only increased once the second book in this duology came out. There was this feeling of, “Okay, well, now they’re out there and I can chill. No pressure to read them right this minute”. But I’ve been feeling the urge to read some good romantasy lately and a Throne of Glass-like vibe has been resonating with me, so when an ARC I was reading today turned into a DNF I decided to read this.
So, yeah. I was right. I loved it. Loved it the way only devouring about 500 pages in less than seven hours can feel. Like it’s an old friend. Like it’s good for the soul. Like it’s good gossip and a warm cup of coffee on a classic fall day.
Is it the best romantasy I’ve read this year? No. Was it just what I needed today? Yes. Did I immediately go download the sequel to immediately start absorbing tomorrow? Yes. Do I now want to own physical copies in addition to my ebooks? Yes! It was fun, it was sexy, it was violent, and I need more.
