‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ Courts Breakdown

We know that Fantasy readers LOVE maps. Any map found when opening a book for the first time fills our hearts with joy. It draws the reader directly into the world and gives much-needed structure in visualizing where these characters reside. The map in A Court of Thorns and Roses shows where all the Faes live and the breakdown of the Courts.

‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ Character Breakdown

Maude’s Book Club will FINALLY dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. There will be a total of six books in the series. There is a long list of characters in each court. But Maas breaks down all the courts so well. The world-building is possibly the best aspect of the series because of what Maas created. 

The main characters of Tamlin, Rhysand and Feyre keep readers invested in the story and have become household names for Fantasy readers. MBC is thrilled to have these characters in January! And for those reading it for the first time, we’re hoping that our community members would want to continue the series!

‘Fourth Wing’ Guide: Dragons and Their Riders

When it comes to world-building in fantasy novels, there can be an overload of information. Character names can be mixed up and even hard to pronounce. In Fourth Wing and now Iron Flame, Rebecca Yarros has made it difficult for readers to keep up with all the dragons bonded to their riders with their signets. Yarros focuses on Violet Sorrengail and her two dragons, Tairn and Andarna, but there are so many characters that end up helping her in Iron Flame.

New Characters in ‘Iron Flame’ by Rebecca Yarros

It has been one week since Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros was released, and some book lovers are already finished reading!

Some new characters are introduced within Part One of the book, which surprised many readers. The addition of these characters has made this sequel more engaging in light of the absence of Xaden Riorson. There are some strange things going on at Basgiath and the more we read, the more these additional characters show their true colours.
