Channeling the Void Series

A review on my Goodreads and Booksirens page from my FIRST EVER advanced reviewer copy (ARC) reader.

Wow! I did not predict the ending at all! It left me hanging (in a good way) :) The book is essentially about a young spirited girl Ellie, defining her own destiny with her cute familiar, a basset hound (so cute!) despite her scary fate being foretold. In the first half of the book, we can feel Ellie's boredom being stuck in her small cozy town in Connecticut and desperately wanting to free herself from her overprotective controlling magical family. In the next part of the book, we find her exploring the "big city" with her familiar. I found the journey to be engaging and fun-I could feel her excitement and giddiness as she leaves her home and her frustrations as she meets roadblocks one after the other. Here, I really liked how the author portrays the downsides of big cities! I am the same as Ellie when ordering coffee in coffee shops in big cities :) For me, the best part of the story was her connection with her familiar Louie and how their bonds remain strong through many "big" changes (not to give out any spoilers!).

Essentially, I felt the book is about friendship, magic and finding yourself and your strengths. A really enjoyable read. Thank you so much author for the e-ARC! All opinions are my own.

I had the absolute privilege of reading Drawing from the Void as an ARC, and I’m thrilled to say this book has completely blown me away.

If you love NA contemporary fantasy, or even just magic and witchcraft, you need this book in your life. With its captivating storyline and heartwarming depth, this book left me both speechless and breathless. I was underprepared for the magic and emotion this book evoked. I both laughed out loud and gasped several times reading this, and I’m so excited to see what comes next for Ellie and Louie.
The concept of a basset hound as a newly-adult witch’s familiar is fresh and unique, but what really made the story were the authentic interactions and unexpected twists. It was impossible to put down. Ellie-Lynne Becker and her canine familiar, Louie, cast a spell over me from the very first chapter, and even now, I find myself dreaming of their world.

If you haven’t already got this book and you’re thinking about it, let me tell you that this is one of the funnest and unexpected reads I’ve personally had in a long time and I just can’t recommend it enough. Drawing from the Void is a gem that I’ll be rereading again and again. The Channeling the Void series has undoubtedly already become one of my favorites, and I’ll be waiting eagerly for the sequel. ✨

This book just made me feel all the emotions, happy, sad, excited. I had to get used to the change happening at some point, but it all made so much sense in the end!

I also absolutely fell in love with Louie! I can’t wait to read the next book(s) and see which adventures Ellie and her friends will go on next.

I got the opportunity to receive an advance review copy for free (thanks KC 🫶🏻) but all opinions are my own and i leave this review voluntarily.
