Read | Cast in Flame by Michelle Sagara

After a foray into a different fantasy book series (The Queen of the Tearling) and a few non-fantasy related picks (The Girls, Melody’s Key, The Fireman, The Handmaid’s Tale, Bird Box), it was time to return to Elantra and Kaylin Neya. I was both looking forward to and dreading my reading of Cast in Flame….

Read | Cast in Sorrow by Michelle Sagara

Cast in Peril was such a good read that I had to debate on whether I should immediately follow it up with Cast in Sorrow. There’s also the fact that its events pick up right after its preceding volume, with Kaylin Neya and her companions finally arriving at the West March for the Barrani Recitation. But I…

Read | Cast in Peril by Michelle Sagara

I actually read Cast in Peril before I started on The Night Circus. But since I got so engrossed in author Erin Morgensten‘s circus world and it was the week I binge-watched Stranger Things, writing a wrap-up post on my last foray in the world of the Chronicles of Elantra got delayed. Boo to me, yes. I…

Read | Cast in Ruin by Michelle Sagara

It took a while to finish Cast in Ruin. Mostly because I was trying to read two books at the same time, and ended up prioritizing whichever other title I was reading then (The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins and The Last Stairs into Darkness by Cliff Barlow). I don’t even know why I…

Read | Cast in Chaos by Michelle Sagara

I do have to admit that I want to cross off the The Chronicles of Elantra series from my reading list. Firstly, I want to find out how far Kaylin Neya has gone in her adventures, because eight books in (I’m currently reading Cast in Peril), one can’t help but be invested in her character growth. Secondly,…

Read | Cast in Silence by Michelle Sagara

After reading a few books of the Chronicles of Elantra, you look forward to reading about other parts of its world. The previous volumes have tackled the different races (the Barrani in Cast in Courtlight, the Tha’alani in Cast in Secret and the Leontines in Cast in Fury). But they also serve in shedding light…

Read | Cast in Fury by Michelle Sagara

Ever since I realized that the different installments of Chronicles of Elantra would focus on the varied species or culture of Elantra, I looked forward to the volume that would focus on the Leontines. Mostly because Sergeant Marcus Kassan is a fun character to read, all bristling fur and primal reactions tempered with a soft spot Kaylin…

Read | Cast in Secret by Michelle Sagara

I’ve been trying to take pictures of ebook covers of titles that I’ve been reading in whatever setting I was in at the time (mostly because there’s no other time to take pictures). It just so happened that the jellybean decided she needed to inspect the new commercial on TV when I shot this. So, I…

Read | Cast in Courtlight by Michelle Sagara

Given my enjoyment of the first installment and the ready access to the rest of the Chronicles of Elantra series by Michelle Sagara, it was easy enough to decide on Cast in Courtlight as my next reading material. Kaylin Neya is still coming to terms with the events in Cast in Shadow, where she discovered that…

Read | Cast in Shadow by Michelle Sagara

It was right after my rather disappointing reading of The Maze Runner series that I decided to go back to the genre I favored most… fantasy. I needed comforting and fantasy was pretty much a sure bet to make me feel better, unless I really chose poorly. I wondered briefly if I should embark on…
