Series Review: The Suitable 'Verse by R. Cooper

Greetings and welcome to Reviews That Burn: Series Reviews, part of Books That Burn. Series Reviews discuss at least three books in a series and cover the overarching themes and development of the story across several books.

But the fae might be pulling more strings than the nobles realize and they definitely have their favorites. A series of love stories loosely centered around the political crisis that led to the current ruler, featuring oblivious librarians, crafty though loving kings, an innocent half-fae noble, a legendary outlaw turned conqueror, worried warriors, clever guards, and an infamous beauty.

Clear Your Shit: Campfire and new friends (Scary)

It turns out that there's a lot of people on this quest. So many that when we were ready to stop for the night we found a cluster of campfires in an impromptu tent village. Everyone was on the same quest as we were. We joined one of the fires and started telling scary stories. I read a few out of Collected Ghost Stories by M. R. James, but we decided that the occasionally actually creepy story wasn't worth the old-timey racism and I didn't finish the book. 

Now we'll have to sleep tonight... yay, no problem at all, sleeping... after that. In the woods. With a bunch of strangers around, just out of the light of the slowly dimming fire. 

Go here to read the whole story.
