Looking Back on 2023: Series That I Started or Finished

I did a similar post last year to see what series I started and finished during the year. It’s very interesting to see if I stick to a series or not. It’s so hard sometimes to get back into a series after waiting so long for the next book since I don’t re-read a lot of books anymore.

Series That I Started or Finished in 2023

Here’s what I started:

• One Dark Window (The Shepherd King series) by. Rachel Gillig
• Trial of the Sun Queen (Artefacts of Ouranos series) by. Nisha J. Tuli
• Daughter of the Moon Goddess (The Celestial Kingdom series) by. Sue Lynn Tan

• Song of Silver, Flame Like Night (Song of the Last Kingdom series) by. Amelie Wen Zhao
• Divine Rivals (Letters of Enchantment series) by. Rebecca Ross
• Blood & Steel (The Legends of Thezmarr series) by. Helen Schuerer

• The Foxglove King (The Nightshade Crown series) by. Hannah Whitten
• Silver in the Bone (Silver in the Bone series) by. Alexandra Bracken
• The Liar’s Crown (Dominions series) by. Abigail Owen

• Fourth Wing (The Empyrean series) by. Rebecca Yarros
• Lightlark (Lightlark series) by. Alex Aster
• Immortal Longings (Flesh and False Gods series) by. Chloe Gong

• Stealing Infinity (Stolen Beauty series) by. Alyson Noel
• A Taste of Torment (Shadow Hills Academy series) by. Stacey Trombley
• Twin Crowns (Twin Crowns series) by. Catherine Doyle & Katherine Webber

• Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries (Emily Wilde series) by. Heather Fawcett
• House of Marionne (House of Marionne series) by. J. Elle
• The Scarlet Alchemist (The Scarlet Alchemist series) by. Kylie Lee Baker

• King of Wrath (Kings of Sin series) by. Ana Huang
• The Stolen Heir (The Stolen Heir duology) by. Holly Black

• The Jasad Heir (The Scorched Throne series) by. Sara Hashem
• Powerless (The Powerless Trilogy series) by. Lauren Roberts
• Heart of Night and Fire (The Nightfire Quartet series) by. Nisha J. Tuli

• Night of the Witch (Witch and Hunter series) by. Sara Raasch and Beth Revis
• The Hurricane Wars (The Hurricane Wars series) by. Thea Guanzon
• To Kill a Shadow (Mistlands series) by. Katherine Quinn

The ones I won’t be continuing are:

• The Liar’s Crown – Dominions series. I actually read book two but have no interest in finishing the series.
• Lightlark – this was okay for me but didn’t spark my interest to keep going on in the series.
• Emily Wilde series is fascinating but a little too slow for me at times. I’d have to be in a really cozy mood to read the next book or I’ll listen to it as an audiobook so this one is a maybe.
• House of Marionne series is a maybe also. I was intrigued by the ending, but we’ll see how my mood is when book two comes out.
• Night of the Witch – this was another okay book for me. Don’t think I’ll continue.
• To Kill a Shadow – I didn’t feel anything new with this series to set it apart from other romance fantasies out there. So I won’t continue this one.

Here are the series that I finished:

• The Sweetest Betrayal (The Kinder Poison series) by. Natalie Mae
• Immortality: A Love Story (The Anatomy Duology series) by. Dana Schwartz
• The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King (Crowns of Nyxia – The Nightborn Duet series) by. Carissa Broadbent

• These Twisted Bonds (These Hollow Vows series) by. Lexi Ryan
• Tokyo Dreaming (Tokyo Ever After series) by. Emiko Jean
• A Dose of Agony (Shadow Hills Academy series) by. Stacey Trombley

• Forestfall (World at the Lake’s Edge series) by. Lyndall Clipstone
• Foul Heart Huntsman (Foul Lady Fortune series) by. Chloe Gong
• Two Twisted Crowns (The Shepherd King series) by. Rachel Gillig

• This Cursed Light (The Last Finestra series) by. Emily Thiede

• A Curse for True Love (Once Upon a Broken Heart series) by. Stephanie Garber

Duologies are way easier for me to finish than trilogies for sure! So many of the series I finished were duologies.

What series did you start or finish in 2023?
