Lord of the Fading Lands by CL Wilson—Tairen Soul 1 (Overview + Book Review) // BEST FANTASY BOOKS

GO READ LORD OF THE FADING LANDS BY CL WILSON—do it right now! The Tairen Soul series feels like Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings meets ACOTAR and Throne of Glass... making it a must-read fantasy (or must-read romantasy)! This is one of the best fantasy books I've read in a while.

In this video, I give a spoiler-free discussion of ALL the things to love about this 17-year-old classic fantasy romance that broke all the rules at the time of its original release. If you fancy yourself a high fantasy reader or romantasy lover, this one is required reading. Lord of the Fading Lands is book one in the five-book Tairen Soul series, and fans of Sarah J Maas, Jennifer Armentrout, Janny Wurts, Jacqueline Carey, Holly Black, and even Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time or Tolkien's Lord of the Rings will appreciate this one.

"Ver reisa ku'chae. Kem surah, shei'tani." Your soul calls out. Mine answers, beloved. swoon

Forgot to mention in this video: the entire Tairen Soul series is also available on Kindle Unlimited for those who have a subscription. It's a win-win.

Thank you to Avon/HarperCollins for the physical copy, and for putting CL Wilson on my radar!
