Today's author highlight is on Stacey Rourke! I am going to highlight her "Unfortunate Soul Chronicles" series, which I stumbled upon on my Kindle Unlimited. There are three books in the series and I'll do a short summary for each and finish up with my final thoughts.
Book One: Rise of the Sea Witch
This is the first book in the series and it's the one that caught my eye initially. I love everything mermaid/ocean themed and my ultimate favorite Disney princess is Ariel, so this cover hit on everything that interests me. Rise of the Sea Witch is a prequel to The Little Mermaid that tells the origin story of Ursela, the sea witch. The series blends several fairy tales and myths, but this book is mostly Little Mermaid.
Book Two: Entombed in Glass
The second book in the series follows characters that we meet in book one as they begin their trek into other lands and fairy tales. This is when the fairy tales start to blend together, which I loved. The concept of a "fairy tale world" that mixes stories and characters has been done before, but this series is so original and well-written that it hooked me til the very end.
Book Three: Pursuing Madness
The third book in the series wraps up the story of the characters that we met in books one and two. This book was so much fun to read because the characters spend most of it traipsing through different fairy tale worlds. The worlds are incredibly well-written and so immersive, I loved every minute of reading it. This book takes you through Wonderland, the Underworld, and several other beautiful lands. It features beloved, recognizable characters from fairy tales and myths. I especially loved this one because it involves a new take on the Hades and Persephone myth, which has always been a favorite story of mine.
For my final thoughts, all there really is to say is this: read it. If you are a lover of fairy tales and magic, or if you could use an immersive series that has a very fulfilling ending, this book is for you. If you enjoy this series, be sure to check out more of Stacey Rourke's books! Rourke also has a Facebook page and websiste that I will link down below! If you enjoy this book, let me know!
