Hello and welcome to this week’s Reading Roundup post. Regular visitors may have become used to coming here to find that I haven’t been able to finish a book in a week! I must admit that I have been struggling with my reading. For a number of reasons (house moving, poor concentration and mental health problems), I have found it really difficult to choose the right books that will enable me to fully immerse myself in the story and forget about my worries. So, I am pleased that I can now write that I seem to have found just the right book series to help with all of this.

I did wonder for a while whether I should have a change and choose something different. Perhaps I am boring my kind followers. Then I gave myself a metaphorical shake! After all, what is the purpose of reading fiction! Am I doing it for myself, or for other people? The answer is pretty clear: definitely at the moment I am reading for my own mental health. I am trying to transport myself out of the worries of everyday life, especially at a time well known to bring stress: moving house and severe ill health.

So, I have definitely decided that I am going to continue with the Green Rider series until I reach the end, or until the quality of the books switches me off! So far, I am really enjoying them. Here is the book that I finished yesterday…

I have now read the third book in the Green Rider series by Kristen Britain: The High King’s Tomb. Here is the blurb…

“With the ghostly help of the First Rider, Karigan G’ladheon had transported the corrupt spirit of Mornhavon the Black into the future, buying valuable time for her king and country.But how far in the future is Mornhavon now? A hundred years? Ten years? Only one year? There’s no way to tell. So though the immediate threat has passed, Mornhavon’s shadow still lies heavily on the land, and on their minds … although there are threats closer to home as well. The D’Yer Wall, protecting Sacoridia from the dark, corrupted Blackveil forest, remains breached despite Karigan and her fellow Riders best efforts. They’ve scoured the land searching for lost documents and magical clues to help mend the breach, fend off any incursions from Blackveil Forest and, more pressingly, protect them from Mornhavon’s return.Nor is the breach in the wall the only danger. Mornhavon may have gone, but the descendants of his people remain and they’re ready to claim the land that their forefathers failed to conquer. These vengeful enemies, hidden within the peaceful borders of Sacoridia, have spent generations honing their dark magic ready to strike – and ensuring that their blow, when it comes, will be one that Karigan and the Sacordians have no defence against …”

And this was my short review on Goodreads…

The High King’s Tomb by Kristen Britain
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was another very enjoyable adventure with our heroine at the centre of quite a complex plot. The tale flowed on from the previous book, with the characters continuing to develop and more dangers and perils for them to face. Some sections were related from different points of view, but we were soon returned to Karigan’s plot lines. The whole thing was an exciting and absorbing read. Now for the next book!

I really hope that I enjoy the next book as much as I did this one!

Happy reading!
