Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

Around this time last year, I had the opportunity to reveal the cover art of The Silverblood Promise by James Logan. I’ve read and highly enjoyed the novel, and since the publication, fantasy readers have been giving deserved praises toward this book. Today, I will be revealing the absolutely stunning cover art of the sequel: The Blackfire Blade. The cover art is once again illustrated by one of my favorite artists: Jeff Brown.

I won’t take more of your time. Without further ado, here is the GORGEOUS cover reveal of The Blackfire Blade by James Logan.

Where Darkness Dwells by Andrea Renae
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

Where Darkness Dwells is a lush, beautiful story with a radiant core of hope. It doesn’t shy from darkness, but it also doesn’t revel in it. Instead, it exposes the weak underbelly of that darkness, dwelling on the fact that, no matter how thick the darkness may seem, the Light is always able to overcome it. We might not understand why the darkness has held dominion for so long, or why the Light didn’t reclaim its rightful throne sooner. But we can know that a battle between the two forces is inevitable, and we rest assured of the fact that Light will win. …

Hi everyone! Petrik Novel Notions here.

We’re honored to do today’s cover reveal. When Michael was last here, it was for the cover reveal of his Dragon’s Blade Trilogy plus Unbound and Defiant. This time, we will be revealing the cover art of Reckoning, the fourth and penultimate installment in the Songs of Chaos series. If you are unfamiliar with this series, The Songs of Chaos is a dragon rider epic fantasy that takes inspiration from such celebrated works as Eragon and Pern. In Michael’s own words “It’s about a serving boy who defies society to save a blind dragon from death and rises to become a dragon rider. A bit of cultivation/progression magic is sprinkled into this one.” Since the cover reveal of Defiant, I am happy to say I have made good progress on the series, and I’m about to dive into Defiant as we speak. But without further ado… check out the cover art of Reckoning!

The Mirror by Nora Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received an advance digital copy of this novel from the publisher, St. Martin’s Press, via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Inheritance was one of my favorite books of 2023, and it ended on a major cliffhanger. So when I was offered an advance digital copy of The Mirror, which was quite possibly my most anticipated read of 2024, I couldn’t hit the download button fast enough. And I loved every single page. There’s not a single thing I would change about The Mirror, except for the fact that I have to wait over a year to see how the story ends. …
