Vorodin's Lair | The Warminster Series 2 - A Review

Vorodin's Lair, the second installment in JV Hilliard's Warminster Series, picks up immediately after the events of the first novel, "The Last Keeper." I won't be going into details and risk of spoiling the story for you guys before you read it. But to sum it up the plot of the book encompasses various intertwining storylines. 

One thing of significance is that in "The Last Keeper" here was excessive number of characters serving as point-of-view narrators. However, "Vorodin's Lair" reduces the overall number of narrators. Personally, I prefer to read the point of view of all the characters playing in the book but the reduction in narrators is also a good strategy because it helps focus the story by emphasizing the most significant plotlines.

One notable development in "Vorodin's Lair" is the increased presence of scenes featuring the Followers of Erud, the Ancient/God-like being followed by Daemus. The chapters set in the Cathedral of the Watchful Eye were amazing due to the escalating tension as Greytorris' followers plotted his resurgence and sought control of the Cathedral.

Contrary to the first book, "Vorodin's Lair" surprisingly features fewer battles and physical conflicts. With the exception of occasional moments, all the action is concentrated towards the climax of the story. The novel finishes strongly when Daemus' group finally encounters the individuals who had been pursuing them, compelling the characters to defend themselves swiftly.


While "The Last Keeper" introduced readers to the world of Warminster, "Vorodin's Lair" primarily establishes events that will unfold in the forthcoming third book. Consequently, numerous plot threads are left unresolved. Although I would have appreciated more resolutions in this second installment, I understand Hilliard's desire to keep possibilities open for future volumes. Nonetheless, readers will still find plenty of enjoyable moments in "Vorodin's Lair," which continues the engaging style of its predecessor.

As a big fan of magical fantasy action adventure, I will say this book is amazing. I cannot wait for the third book to come out. I will recommend this book to all those who love a magical action adventure.

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.

Lightlark by Alex Aster | A Book Review

A Fellow booktoker recommended me this book. She talks about it all the time and makes really catchy videos featuring this Duology. I got interested and purchased this book. Lightlark is the first book in the series written by Alex Aster. I got to know some pretty interesting facts about the Author and how this book was published. You should learn it too this is not my story to tell 😅. Anyhow I started reading this book in March and finished it one week. Somehow I got late in writing and reviewed all the books I read in March. So now I am starting again. This is the brief of this book on Goodreads; Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood.
