Review: Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent

From its very first pages, Daughter of No Worlds gripped me with its emotionally charged storytelling and vivid character work. While the opening is undeniably bitter—steeped in loss, captivity, and survival—I was never overwhelmed by sadness for our heroine, Tisaanah. Instead, I admired her. She’s brave, determined, hardworking, and fierce. But there’s one moment, when she finds herself in a foreign country, surrounded by people who neither speak her language nor understand her pain, that struck me deeply. She puts her foot down—driven by frustration and anxiety—and is dismissed as fragmented, even foolish. That moment? That’s when I truly felt sad for her. Not because of her circumstances, but because the people around her hadn’t come to know and love her like I had.

The pacing in this novel is perfect—never dragging, never rushed. It’s one of those rare stories where the more you read, the more you need to read. Broadbent masterfully draws you into a world that is rich in lore and layered with complex politics, magic, and personal stakes. The world-building is immersive and expansive, yet never overwhelming. Themes of identity, freedom, sacrifice, and power are woven seamlessly into the narrative, making this more than just a fantasy—it’s a deeply human story.

There’s a particularly moving scene where Tisaanah finally gets everything she has fought so tirelessly for. And yet, instead of elation, I felt a nervous tension coil in my belly—because it was hard to believe it was finally happening. That kind of emotional resonance is rare and beautiful.

I also have to give credit to the narrators of the audiobook, Dan Calley and Esther Wane. They bring this story to life with such depth and emotion. Each character feels distinct, with their own tone, rhythm, and personality. Their performances elevate an already powerful story into something unforgettable.

In short: Daughter of No Worlds is a triumph in storytelling, character, and world-building.

I never rank books—until now.

The Endless War is not only my favourite book in the Bridge Kingdom series—it’s one of my favourite books ever. Danielle L. Jensen has crafted a story that gets better with each instalment, and this final book is nothing short of phenomenal. It delivers on every level: action, emotion, character development, and themes that resonate deeply—love, loyalty, sacrifice, and hope.

One of the biggest highlights for me was seeing how far these characters have come. Zara? She’s an absolute badass. A force on the battlefield, unflinching in her duty, fiercely protective of those she loves—but this book showed us her softer, more vulnerable side too. Watching her open herself up emotionally, to love, and to gentleness, without losing her edge, was so powerful. She’s the kind of heroine that stays with you.

And Karis—he’s always been thoughtful and bookish, but here, we see him step fully into his power. He grows into a man who leads with strength and compassion, a warrior and a king who earns your respect with every decision he makes. His journey is just as moving, and his dynamic with Zara is electric, layered, and beautifully written.

The series has always been about more than romance—it’s about trust, unity, friendship, and resilience. But the star-crossed lovers at the heart of this story will absolutely wreck you in the best way. There were moments that made my chest ache, lines that made me pause to breathe them in, and scenes that would live rent-free in my head forever.

If you’ve read the series this far, this finale is the reward you’ve been waiting for. If you haven’t started yet—please do. You’re about to fall in love.

*THE HOUSE OF MIRTH ny Edith Wharton*
Narrated by Eleanor Bron
*A HAUNTING DESCENT*

Bron delivers a captivating performance; her voice embodies Lily Bart's elegance and vulnerability, drawing you into the unforgiving world of New York's high society in the Gilded Age, where reputation is everything and missteps are rarely forgotten.

The novel presents a searing critique on the social expectations and the limited roles available to women in the early 20th century. Lily Bart, a woman of beauty and grace, navigates a world where her values are tied to her appearance and material prospects. Forced to choose between the comforts of wealth and the possibility of true love. She faces a future where either path leaves her unfiltered in some way.

The narrative delves into themes of identity, autonomy, and the consequences of societal pressures. Lily's slow fall from grace - from the pinnacle of society to its margins - is both heartbreaking and thought-provoking. It's a haunting dance between the choices we make, the power of chance, and the way life often takes its course - both natural and cruelly unnatural. Gossip and fleeting alliances chip away at her, piece by piece.

Beautifully tragic and exquisitely written, this novel left me shaken. Wharton's critique of a world that punishes women for both ambition and vulnerability feels as relevant today as ever.

What a compelling story!!!
The narration was beautiful done!
The female narrators voice has this dreamy, nostalgic quality to it, which suits Commet perfectly.
And the growl rasp Reed speaks with
Oefff !!!
The story really was very good and exactly what I want from an age gap romance.
I need them to really try to stay away and for their relationship to not be the couples only personality and driving force.
The narration for Tera was a little grading at times. Making her sound winy and airheads but I loved her character.

This is my 2nd book vy Meg and considering I almost DNF'ed the first one
I went into this with zero expectation
which is the best way to read imo
and I was absolutely blown away
I loved the Storyline and character
Nate and lali s banter
Parker and Lali s playfulness
Mia and Lali feel so effortlessly like bestfriends

Lali s background history felt a little rushed or forced

Overall a very fun and unique story

We already know the storylinecand narration is amazing
no new news there

At first I thought nesta was a raging beach
and I truly thought there was no way I would ever believe otherwise
Foolish of me to, even for a moment, doubt in the penmanship of Mother Mass
She had done it again
Rhys will forever be my msn, my man, my man
But Cassian is so Zaddy!
he is a paradox of hard and soft
give and take
Lord and worshiper

now just press play and read the damn book
but savor it, there is nothing like the first listening experience

also
why is Elaine seen as kind and sweet
she is a timid, people pleaser
and I'm grateful to see her getting a personality

Short and sweet

this is a multi pov story
that makes use of third person narration, which strays from the first person narration we grew use to un the first three book.
I know some did not like it. I did.
I enjoyed get everyone's inner thoughts and seeing the inner circle together.
learning about their solstace traditions.
it was a nice reprieve from the turmoil and war we had previously faced.
a halfway house, for what is undoubtedly to come 1

The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult

A deeply moving novel that weaves together multiple narratives, centering on Sage Singer, a baker who prefers to keep to herself, and Josef Weber, a beloved elderly man in her community. When Josef confesses that he was once a Nazi officer and asks Sage to help him die, she is forced to confront her own family history — her grandmother Minka, a Holocaust survivor, and the horrors she endured. As Sage struggles with this moral dilemma, the novel unfolds through Josef’s recollections of the past, Minka’s harrowing experiences, and Sage’s own journey, making for an emotionally charged read.

Themes of hope, power dynamics, guilt, forgiveness, and the struggle for justice permeate the novel. It examines how power can corrupt, how survivors carry the weight of their pasts, and how guilt manifests in both victims and perpetrators. Forgiveness, too, is a central question—whether it is possible, whether it should be given, and who has the right to grant it. At its core, The Storyteller is a meditation on human resilience, the choices we make, and the impact they have across generations.

The narrative structure is masterful, weaving together haunting confessions, devastating memories, and peesent day turmoil.
The novel highlights the power of storytelling. It is a means of bearing witness, preserving history, escapism, and ensuring that past horrors are not forgotten.

The depth of research evident in this book is striking, with meticulous attention to historical accuracy, the psychological aftermath of trauma, and the ethical questions that continue to linger long after the war. It is a hard read, but a necessary one—not just because of the subject matter but because it forces the reader to confront the uncomfortable truths of history. While I listened to this book, I was constantly reminded that though this is a novel, the events it portrays were very real. It may not be a biography, but it holds a truth that can not be ignored.

Since the future flows forth from the past, it is crucial to remember, to learn, and to tell these stories. As Minka herself says, sometimes emotions are impossible to put into words—just as I feel now, after finishing The Storyteller.

*Long Shot: A HOOPS Novel*
*By Kennedy Ryan*

As we booktokers tend to do, I went to tiktok, in search of fanart and community, after finishing Long Shot. Only to discover an overwhelming number of readers just as shocked as I was, that this, in fact, is not a fluffy sport romance. Anything but. Which made me wonder where we even got that idea from.

I typically go unto books blind and in this case, I'm glad I did. Long Shot was unpredictable in a way that left me bot breeding and needing to continue reading.

Raw, unflinching, and ppetic writing; paired either the immersive narration of the voice actors made for an experience that was impossible to step away from. You don't just read this book; you feel it. You feel for the charscters; their pain, struggle, resilience, and longing for something more, something better...

As for the tropes, I’ll avoid spoilers, but one that stands out is the portrayal of domestic violence. It’s not just a subplot or a background element—it’s visceral, terrifying, and deeply real. Ryan doesn’t sugarcoat it. The fear, the helplessness, the cycles of abuse—it’s all there. (Even I couldn't see a way out!) This isn’t a book that simply tells a love story; it tells a story about survival, about finding strength even when it feels impossible, and about the complicated, often heartbreaking journey toward healing.

If you’re expecting a lighthearted romance, I’d urge you to check the content warnings first. But if you’re looking for a deeply emotional and beautifully written story —that will stay with you long after you turn the last page— Long Shot is worth every bit of the heartache it puts you through.
