THE GOBLETS IMMORTAL
Beth Overmyer
Publication date: Feb 2020
In aland where magic’s feared,a magical kind exists: the Blest, products of the Goblets Immortal and Aidan’s one of them and on the run. Whispers of a new fear take shape in Meraude,a mage who hates all magic-kind. When she appears in Aidan’s dreams offering a bargain for the return of his family, he needs to make the most difficult decision.
Review:
The Goblets Immortal is my kind of fantasy. It is a well-paced, character driven novel that immediately pulled me in and wouldn’t let me put it down.
I absolutely love character driven novels. Particularly, character driven, fantasy novels. Far too often, fantasy is bogged down by excessive world building. I think Beth Overmyer did and incredible job balancing world-building with character building, giving us just enough of the world to be drawn in.
Focusing on the characters, made this story really relatable and engaging to read. I love the slow burn romance between Aiden and Slaíne. It’s real, and so amazing to read. There’s still a strong sense of adventure without being overpowered by the love. Again, Beth Overmyer knows how to maintain balance here, which really makes this book stand out.
What can I say? I’m a sucker for a character-driven fantasy novel, and this was an easy 5 star read for me. Highly recommended.

5/5☆

Beth Overmyer has authored several books—In a Pickle, a middle grade novella,and Circus in a Shot Glass,a women’s fiction novel, being among them. She’s in love with the fantasy genre, mysteries—especially when there’s tea and/or a quirky sleuth involved—and wouldn’t say no to reading and writing in every genre but hardcore horror and erotica. Influencers to her writing include J.R.R. Tolkien and Brandon Sanderson, though Douglas Adams may be lurking in there somewhere.
Love of writing and reading has led to her leading acreative writing group at her local public library, where she once was a pupil. But she doesn’t see herself as a teacher: she’s more of afacilitatorand encourager when needed. Every other week during the school year, they meetand perform various writing exercises, which each individual’s encouraged to then share.
When she’s not writing, reading, editing, drinking tea, or facilitating creative writing meetings, Beth enjoys hanging out with her writing pals for fellowship, brainstorming, and great company. You can visit Beth’s website at
