The Scourge of Magic (Academy of Falling Kingdoms 3)
By Marisa Mills and Drake Mason
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A floating kingdom. An ancient secret. A desperate hope.
With the help of her new friends in Reverie and the demon companion in her magic sword, Wynter Wilcox opened the chamber beneath the city and discovered the true secret to the kingdom’s power. But when King Gregory learns the truth about the rogue mage that has infiltrated the academy, he declares war on the rival kingdom of Aubade and sends Dorian off to the battlefield.
There’s only one way to stop the destruction: sneak into Aubade and free the demons supporting the floating kingdom. Just when they’re about to succeed, a crippled mage reveals a secret about Wynter’s past that forces her to choose sides. For her friends to survive, the kingdom must fall.
I’ve really enjoyed this series and this was a such a good conclusion to it. Full of action and drama it’s hard to say too much without spoilers so I won’t I’ll just happily recommend for YA fantasy fans.

Yet another faction enters the picture, but Raith and Nox are not prepared to take anything at face value these days. They learn the answers to some questions whilst more arise. Ambry regains consciousness, but I'm still not sure she's the one for Raith. Luckily for me, the main arc of this story was Raith and Nox, not the budding romance, so that worked out perfectly for me.
The finale is breathtaking and perfect for the story so far. The epilogue left me with a huge smile on my face. I won't say more as you really should read it for yourself.
Full of action and humour between Raith and Nox, plus some heart-rending moments, this was the perfect ending to the series and highly recommended by me.

ClareR (6187 KP) rated Barrowbeck in Books
Aug 5, 2025
Barrowbeck starts off as a cautionary folk tale (more the “everyone dies horribly” type, granted, but it still has a hint of the myth and legend about it), and then each story brings us closer to the modern day and beyond.
There is something in Barrowbeck that needs payment of some sort - a devil or a demon? We never see it, but we do see what it drives people to.
I don’t know if I could even describe what happens in this. It’s a series of interlinking short stories, and I didn’t know where I was being taken next, but I was happy to go! There were some seriously sinister stories in this gem of a book. The last story, although extreme, really didn’t feel all that far fetched. The extreme ramifications of Climate Change are only around the corner, after all.
This is a firm favourite - wonderful writing, and a really unnerving collection of stories. And if you haven’t read Starve Acre yet, get on it!
