![]() ![]() ![]() The books take place in the 1930s, but in a timeline in which people (referred to as Actives) started gaining magical powers in the 1800s. It’s part fantasy, part science fiction, part alternate history, part superhero - and completely awesome. I listened to the entire trilogy in short order, and I loved the Grimnoir Chronicles even more than the MHI series. But since I’ve recently been listening to audiobooks at a rate of more than one per week, and the first two books in the series had won Audie awards, I decided to give the first one a try. I didn’t know much about the series, but based on the cover of the first book, Hard Magic, I guessed it was a 1930s hard-boiled detective novel, plus magic, and that didn’t really pique my interest. ![]() When I interviewed Larry Correia a couple of months ago, I had read some of his Monster Hunter International books, but I had not read any of the Grimnoir Chronicles series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Amelie’s for God’s sake!

He folded his arms across his wide chest and cleared his throat. Something in those sparks caught fire, making her breath catch, and she pulled her hands away from organizing the coasters. His eyes looked like mocha with sparks of gold. Hayden raised her chin to meet Jace’s intense gaze. “Who’s getting laid?” a familiar deep voice rumbled. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And on a more fun note, she gets to use her healer skills to be a badass poisoner! It’s a weapon you don’t see too many YA heroines use (at least, not as common as a sword or pure magic) and I loved how the author managed to work it into more action-y scenes even though it’s not a traditional battle weapon. The book really explores the morality of her choices through the lens of her oath to save lives and questions if her choices that hurt people now are justified by helping others in the future. One great thing about Rosemarked is Zivah’s role as a healer. It felt like the “spunky rebels fight against evil empire in fantasy setting” book I’d been missing - a more toned-down An Ember in the Ashes, The Winner’s Curse sans slave/master romance, Red Queen but with a love-hate relationship that I actually enjoyed. And amidst the fear of discovery, they grapple with a mutual attraction that could endanger both of them. But they must find common ground to protect those they love. Now escaped back to his tribe, he’ll do anything to free them from Amparan rule. Thrust together on a high-stakes mission to spy on the empire, the two couldn’t be more different.
