Day 3 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Fantasy Faction) I found a dramatic fantasy opening that won me over with its juxtaposed characters, & another whose MC drove me from the story. I have a lot to read, so some of these may get fewer pages to win me over. Sorry. It isn't fair.

Day 5 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Fantasy Book Critic) I was thrilled to find an absorbing urban fantasy with a cozy flair from Isa Medina - at least to its beginning! The end of the first chapter left me desperate for more. Another opening felt, sadly, jumbled together. x.com/Tom_Mock/sta...

A debut with voice and an excitingly magical MC who has been through the ringer for 800s made me want to read more. A 2nd, slightly less focused opening fell short.
