Claire, Darling by Callie Kazumi  was published on March 11, 2025 by Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine / Bantam. It opens with Claire finding out that her fiancé, Noah, isn't working where he said he was and is now ghosting her. Claire must find out why. Book Review: Claire, Darling by Callie Kazumi Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine / Bantam for providing me with an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Claire Darling by Callie Kazumi for free in exchange for my honest review. I was absolutely thrilled when my request for a copy was approved because the synopsis was so good. From the beginning, I absolutely loved the main character of Claire and her work friend named Sukhi. Throughout the novel, we learn about Claire's past and how terrible her mother was towards her. I kept hoping that somehow we would learn who Claire's father was and would eventually connect with him. It's really no wonder Claire had no self confidence as an ad...

Book Review: A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, #3) by George R.R. Martin

third book in the game of thrones

In the third installment of A Song of Ice and Fire series, A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin, one of the five fighting for the throne is dead and another is in disfavor. As the war progresses, Daenerys is making her way a continent with her dragons and army. Meanwhile, the wall is being protected by the brothers in black against the wildlings.

Holy cow! This series just keeps getting better and better. I absolutely loved A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, #3). Even though it's a fantasy book, it has a bit of everything in it, and both men and women alike would enjoy the story.

The writing, character development, and storyline are absolutely amazing. I found myself completely absorbed in it and forgetting where I was because I could see it all playing out in my head as I read. My favorite characters are still Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow. Arya Stark keeps growing on me and is now one of my favorite characters too. The book ends in a cliff hanger. I don't know what I would have done if I had to wait several years for the next book to come out, so it makes me happy that I waited so long to read this series.

As far as complaints go, I don't really have any about this book other than how long it is, and at times, it can be difficult to keep up with all the different characters. Luckily, there is an appendix that has a list of all the characters and what houses they belong too. This helpful if I need to reference it.

I gave A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, #3) by George R.R. Martin five out of five stars. If you enjoyed this book, I recommend Desperation by Stephen King.
