Lore of the Books is a blog focused on bookish things — although sometimes lifestyle & other interests also creep in. I review lots of books, talk about my bookish interests (which there are many) and post pretty photos.

Feathers So Vicious
I love a good dark romance, and this book delivered on the dark romance aspect.
Foxglove
I have many thoughts on this book and the main one is thus: sometimes book should stay as standalones.
House of Odysseus
This book picks up not too long after Ithaca ends, and we once again rejoin Penelope on Ithaca. Instead of Hera, Aphrodite narrates this book, and what I love about North is she makes these goddesses so likeable (or unlikeable depending on your POV).
Ithaca
Greek myth from the POV of women is something I adore, but sometimes it gets bogged down in a sort of way that doesn’t always work, but Claire North does something different
Her Radiant Curse
This acts as a sort of “prequel” to Six Crimson Cranes, as it is the stepmother’s story in this one. I thought that it was nice to get a backstory to someone we thought was a “villain” at first
