Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Great ending to one of my all-time favorite series. Although, like the author’s wife, I’m sad. It’s over! I read the last chapter with tears in my eyes largely because I know there is no more. So sad. So very sad. Ugh. LOL I don’t usually get so emotional over a book at least not simply because it’s the end of a series. Not even Harry Potter made me sad for that reason. LOL It’s bittersweet, as I loved reading through the end of the tale, but I knew it was the end. (PLEASE, Michael, write more! LOL) That said, this book made me laugh, it made me cry. It made me laugh some more, cry some more. And laugh, and cry … You get the idea. And now for more of a review. Where to begin. This is written as well as the previous books in the series, and is just so much fun! And, despite it being 500+ pages, it reads fast. More like a 300-pager. I couldn’t believe how quickly I plowed through it! (And I wonder at the size of Heir of Novron, given that this book on its own is as thick as Theft of Swords and Rise of Empire! LOL) Although, I had to take breaks, and found myself not wanting to get back into it. Not for any reason other than the fact that once I was done, I was done. Series over. No more Royce and Hadrian. No more Arista and Modina. No more. Done. sigh Sullivan again does a wonderful job with the world building and characters. We get more of the witty banter out of Royce and Hadrian, and even other characters made me laugh. This was one of the best final books in a series I've ever read. Very emotional. Full of surprises, action, and a satisfying conclusion to the overall story.

Starcrossed blew me away. It is an amazing book based on Greek mythology, and I had a blast reading it. It's a wild ride that also has lots of emotion. Josephine Angelini is one of my favorite new authors, and I cannot wait for more in this series!

Every Last One

This story will break your heart. Especially if you have children and/or a husband. I don’t think it would have touched me quite so deeply if it was written 10 years ago, before I had my children. It still would have saddened me, but I don’t think the tears would be so hard to fight back. I absolutely LOVE this book. I believe Every Last One will be a book I never, ever forget.
