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!

Does “Spring’s Rising” Rise to “Winter’s Captive”?

The Lochlann Treaty – Book Two – Spring’s Rising by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison

Wow. Wow! Curious One! Can you believe what happened??! I think I might still be reeling from everything that went down and where my mind keeps taking me in potential futures for these wonderful characters. Okay, I will start at the beginning of Spring’s Rising.

It starts off right where the first one left off, which was awesome. And can I say too many times how much I do not like Oliver??! I mean, seriously, what a cowering, selfish, ignorant, thoughtless jerk. “Sometimes survival matters more than your pride”??? Really??? THAT is your defense? Ugh. I told you in the last review of Winter’s Captive how I thought he was hiding something and oh, was he hiding!

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.
