Hello there!
White Sky Project is a blog about books mostly (usually fantasy and sci-fi, but sometimes thrillers, gothic and contemporary fiction, too). It’s also a blog about freelance writing, yoga, tarot, graphic tees (because I love the art!), movies, TV shows, and more. Welcome! I’m grateful you’re here. :) – xoxo, Leah

Review: World Serpent Arcanist (Frith Chronicles #5) by Shami Stovall
Today I’m reposting my review of World Serpent Arcanist, the fifth book in the Frith Chronicles by author Shami Stovall. Yayyy.
Okay, I read this book in December last year but I realized a few days ago that I don’t have the review on this blog. It’s on Goodreads, but since I have my reviews of the first four books here, I thought I should also have it here, too.
Anyway, read on for more about this fantastic continuation to the series!
Review: The Theft of Sunlight (Dauntless Path #1) by Intisar Khanani
It’s finally here! The Theft of Sunlight by author Intisar Khanani releases today and I’m here with a review of this amazing book.
Theft of Sunlight is the first book in a companion duology to Thorn. Some characters from Thorn appear in Theft, but the main character is Amraeya or Rae, who first appears in The Bone Knife, a short story included at the end of Thorn. I loved The Bone Knife so I was excited to read Theft.
Read on for more on the book and my short review! :)
Review: Bolder Blindsided (Zack Bolder #1) by Janice Tremayne + paperback giveaway (US/UK only)
So we’re kicking off the new year with Bolder Blindsided (Zack Bolder #1) by author Janice Tremayne!
Is it weird to start the year with a random book spotlight? Nah, right? I thought this book was intriguing that’s why I joined this blog tour and the post schedule that I happened to snag was this day, the first day of the year. I’d like to think that’s a good thing. Maybe it’ll mean I’ll be reading and reviewing books a lot this year. Hah! We shall see. ;)
Release Day + Review: Brambles by Intisar Khanani
Brambles by Intisar Khanani is out today! Brambles is a prequel novella to Thorn and gives Alyrra’s account of what happened years ago before the events in Thorn.
Read more about this story and check out my short review. Enjoy!
Review: The Wolf Of Oren-Yaro by K.S. Villoso
Hello, friends! Today I have The Wolf of Oren-Yaro by author K.S. Villoso. Earlier this year I kept seeing this book on Instagram and on must-read lists, so naturally I was intrigued (especially since the author is Filipino!). Everyone only had good things to say about it so I decided to get a copy when the Kindle version went on sale back in April. But because I’m a terrible reader I only got to it in August.
Review: Sentient by Michael Leon (plus a $20 GC giveaway)
Today we have sci fi novel Sentient by Michael Leon! I wasn’t so sure I’d be up for this blog tour but I wanted to give this book a try. I’m glad I did because it turned out to be an exciting read!
Read more about the book below and check out my review. Also, read an excerpt and join the giveaway for a chance to win a $20 Amazon/B&N GC!
Spotlight: Apophis by Raj Anand (and a $25 giveaway)
Hullo, friends! I’ve got another sci fi book for you to check out! Today we have Apophis by author Raj Anand.
This isn’t the first book with that title that I’ve encountered so I was interested. I looked up Apophis and found out that it’s the Greek name for the great demon serpent Apep in Egyptian mythology. Apophis is associated with earthquakes, thunder, darkness, storms, and death, and is sometimes linked to the god Set, also associated with chaos, disorder, storms, and darkness (source). Interesting. Also, it’s the name of near-Earth asteroid 99942, first discovered in 2004 and calculated to fly-by really close to our planet in 2029 and return years later (source). Very very interesting, right?
Cover Reveal: Brambles by Intisar Khanani
Woot! Today we have the cover reveal of Brambles, a novellette by fantasy author Intisar Khanani.
Brambles is a short story prequel to Thorn and gives Alyrra’s account of what happened years ago before the events in Thorn.
Let’s check out the gorgeous cover!
Spotlight: The Rose by PD Alleva (and a $50 giveaway)
Today we have dystopian sci fi thriller The Rose by author PD Alleva. I was intrigued by the blurb because, um, alien vampires!? It sounded like an interesting and unique take on different concepts and I love stuff like that. I checked out the reviews on Goodreads and they’re all pretty good so far.
Read more about the book, read an excerpt and read all the way to the end of the post to join in on all the blog tour fun! :)
