Every Wednesday I post about the book I am reading. Usually, I manage to finish a book in seven days, but this year I haven’t always achieved that goal. Due to severe health issues and house moving, I have been finding it very difficult to concentrate. Some weeks I have struggled to find a book that engages me.

In recent weeks I have found a book series that has really held my attention. Perhaps the writing isn’t the best in the world, but the plots are exciting and fast moving. At first, I had the thought that tackling a long series in one go would not work for the blog. Then I realised that this was quite silly! After all, who do I read for? Surely it’s for my own entertainment and to help my mental health!

So, I am offering a half-hearted apology for perhaps boring my visitors with the Green Rider series, but I am wholeheartedly admitting that reading these books is doing me a lot of good!

This week’s book is #04 in Kristen Britain’s Green Rider series: Blackveil…

Here is the blurb…

“Once a simple student, Karigan G’ladheon finds herself in a world of deadly danger and complex magic, compelled by forces she cannot understand when she becomes a legendary Green Rider-one of the magical messengers of the king.

Forced by magic to accept a dangerous fate she would never have chosen, headstrong Karigan has become completely devoted to the king and her fellow Riders.

But now, an insurrection led by dark magicians threatens to break the boundaries of ancient, evil Blackveil Forest-releasing powerful dark magics that have been shut away for a millennium.”

And this is my response…

Blackveil by Kristen Britain
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another enjoyable episode in this engaging series. There are some faults: some overlong sections and a rather rushed and OTT ending, a definitely cringe-worthy scene and a character that seems rather divorced from the main plot. However, the author has created a really interesting world with realistic and well drawn main protagonists. I will definitely carry on with the series and have already started the next book.

Let’s see what comes next…
