However, I found this to be lacking the intimacy of that first novel, or even the tragic pathos of Sturm from the second Dragons of Winter Night; too concerned with Tanis's internal struggles and skipping over a large part of just what happened to Raistlin and how he suddenly becomes so powerful (told in other spin-offs, perhaps?).
Also, and as with Dragons of Winter Night, not all characters survive the story, with one character in particular provided with a fitting farewell.
In short, and as a whole: these books are OK, but nothing remarkable.

Road to Winter ( Fae’s Captive book 2)
By Lily Archer
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
The fae king is growing on me. Every touch, look, and night spent in his arms is slowly melting my resistance. When his feral side takes over, something inside me wants to let go and give him everything. With each passing day, the pull is getting harder to deny. But the road to the winter realm is full of danger, and I need to concentrate on finding my way home, not on the promises of pleasure Leander whispers in my ear at night. Even so, how long can I resist the intoxicating kiss of winter?
These books are so bloody frustrating! I’d love to give it 4 or even 5 stars but as soon as you get into the story the book ends! Also ends on a little cliffhanger and yes I could go straight to the next book but I have a huge tbr pile to get through and have ocd about reading in a certain order. I’ll say what I said in the book 1 review it shows so much promise! They also read as novellas rather than a full book.

Savage Monarchs ( Nocturnal Academy 4)
By Margo Ryerkerk and Holli Hook
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Escaping the academy was just the beginning.
I've made it out of Nocturnal Academy.
No longer do I exist to please the vamps. Now, as a member of the Winter Court, my job is to execute them. But maybe my new standing is no better than being a courtesan. Now I am to become an assassin for the King of the Winter Court. The rules of the game might've changed, but I'm still a pawn.
If the King of the Winter Court thinks that I'm going to turn into a mindless soldier after everything I've been through, he's in for a rude awakening. I'm going to do this on my terms while keeping a wall around my heart at all times.
I will not be vulnerable again.
Life, however, has other ideas. Like throwing in a friend from my past and worse, Thorsten, a handsome jerk of a vampire who has messed with my mind and feelings one too many times.
I might've left Nocturnal Academy, but I'm far from safe.
Best one yet I think. Onyx finally has some answers and revenge on her mind. Looking forward to what she does now.
