Soulgazer is the first book in Maggie Rapier’s The Magpie and the Wolf’s Duology and her debut novel. I’ve had this book on my shelf since its release, and I finally made time to read it. The second I started it, I knew it would consume me until I finished it, especially since it has Celtic-inspired mythology and pirates, both of which I always enjoy reading about.
I’ve always been curious about the Bodice Rippers from the 70s and 80s, and figured it was time to give them a try. I’ve never read one before, not even in my teens. Back then, I was obsessed with horror and fantasy books that were highly inappropriate for me, but my parents weren’t really strict on what I read or even watched, especially since my parents knew how much reading meant to me. It wasn’t until my twenties that I read Romance, and I haven’t looked back.
