It’s book review time! In Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, we get a look at the much deeper wizarding laws in the 1920s in America, France and Britain as Newt Scamander and his companions continue to fight against the dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. It also introduces the audience to a middle-aged (hot!) Albus Dumbledore …
July was an odd month as we were still soldiering through Fire and Blood. We had to add something to our reads of 2023, so we read the Harry Potter prequel story on Muggle Net. Going into August, we started getting behind on Goodreads, so we read the first screenplay for the Fantastic Beasts films. …
We’ve finally finished reading Fire and Blood, the unreliable textbook about the Targaryen dynasty from Aegon the Conqueror to Aegon III.

However, the series only covers the lead-up to the Dance of Dragons, the war between the blacks (Rhaenyra) …
Not much reading was done of different books in June. Since we’re only just finding our footing back into the world of reading, we decided to read several Goddess Girl books to keep our GoodReads book challenge happy. This was done to prevent any fall behind in which we pledged twelve. We may end up …
Our current read is Fire and Blood by George R.R. Martin, the prequel novel to the famous books that inspired the hit HBO series, Game of Thrones. We recently reviewed what we’d read so far in the “historical tome” written about the Targaryen dynasty. But there is more to this. Since we’ve watched House of …
It’s no secret that House of the Dragon is one the most significant shows to hit HBO since Game of Thrones ended. But where did the lore come from if it didn’t come from the same books? That’s where Fire and Blood comes in. Fire and Blood is formatted as a history book told by …
There’s a time in every reader’s life when they have to start somewhere regarding their favourite topics. That’s what we will explore in this first Book Haven review.
