Blooms of Consequence – Passion, Fear and Hard Choices

Well, we made it Curious One! The final book of the Dusk Gate Chronicles that I have, Blooms of Consequence, did not disappoint! Whoo! There was so much going on! At the end of the last book, Thorns of Decision, we were left wondering what would happen with the gate. The four of them, Thoman, Linnea, Will and Quinn were going to accompany Nathaniel to Quinn’s world to keep Linnea safe from Tolliver’s kidnapping attempts. However, before they could cross over, there were Philothean refugees camped out all over the area, so they were left to stay in the castle.

Breeana Puttroff’s Thorns of Decision Will Hit You Where It Matters

Okay, Curious One. I’m moving through the first four books of the Dusk Gate Chronicles by Breeana Puttroff fairly quickly! They are crazy good reads! This post is going to sort through the third book, Thorns of Decision. If it wasn’t hinted at by the title, you are aware that some prickly instances may happen throughout the book. Some hard feelings are felt, and some decisions are made that begin a trail of pain and new beginnings.

Inside Roots of Insight by Breeana Puttroff

Roots of Insight, book two in the Dusk Gate Chronicles picked up the day after Quinn crossed the gate back into Bristlecone, CO from Eirentheos at the end of Seeds of Discovery. You get a quick glimpse of how difficult it is for her to switch back into homework mode after being gone for 10 days.

Seeds of Discovery by Breeana Puttroff Doesn’t Disappoint

Curious One! Hey there! So, I’m diving right into a series by author Breeana Puttroff. It’s called the Dusk Gate Chronicles. For the next couple weeks, I’m going to be immersed into her world with these amazing characters. I only have the first four books of her series so far and before I have even begun the second book, I can already tell you that I will eventually read all of them (8 books and 2 companion novellas). However, for now, I’m thrilled to start on what I have available!

The first book is called Seeds of Discovery and if you haven’t read it yet, I promise you, Curious One, you should. I mean, as almost always, the first book in a lengthy series spends a bit of time sorting out characters and building plot lines for future moments in the upcoming books, but you couldn’t be disappointed in Seeds of Discovery if you tried!

Isle of Echoes- We Witches Three Book Three by Humphrey Quinn

Alright. Curious One? I caved. I absolutely read the third book in the We Witches Three series by Humphrey Quinn. Isle of Echoes was about the same as the others. It answered one question and left me with a thousand more. The most frustrating part is that I want to know what happens to this family, even though I can hardly stand the style of writing. It’s bugging me so badly!

Isle of Echoes was pretty well rounded in regard to each of the characters, however I am still bewildered that Eva keeps getting to them so easily. What’s the point of acknowledging your instincts if you ignore them and walk into traps every day?

And did I call Riley and Melinda?! Ugh. Totally Romeo and Juliet vibes which is obviously predictable and absolutely annoying.

Isle of Wolves – We Witches Three Book Two by Humphrey Quinn

Oooookay Curious One. So, I decided to read the next installment in the We Witches Three series by Humphrey Quinn. Isle of Wolves was a little unexpected. I still have the same problem as with the first one, too short and the style of writing not quite fitting the age of the characters, but this one held a bit of annoyance for me. Hahah!

I promise, I am NOT a picky reader! But man, I just wanted this series to be so good and it’s just not happening…

Winter’s Captive – The Lochlann Treaty Series – by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison

Hello there Curious One! I just began this series called The Lochlann Treaty. It is written by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison. Book one, Winter’s Captive, was pretty good. Good enough for me to continue reading the series at least! There are four books so far in the series, spanning each of the four seasons.

Winter’s Captive was a bit slow most of the time though. I mean, it read fast, but the book covered every single day during the adventure. Which, if they are written like I’m hoping and combined the series covers about a year, it will be a fun way to experience this specific adventure.
