(Rhodi Saga #1)

Genres: Dystopian, Fantasy, Young Adult

Flight. Hyperspeed. Clairvoyance.

These are some of the powers gifted to the Rhodi, an ancient sect of assassins who defend Crescentia, a dystopian world with a dying hope.

Dyliana Fairsson is one of them. After losing her parents to a suspicious accident, she and her twin brother, Devin, join the Rhodi to avoid starvation. Under the direction of her master, Dylan struggles to learn the strength of her magic …as well as hide the growing scars on her wrists. Can Dylan become the warrior, the hero, she’s destined to be? Or is she fated to fall from the light into the darkness?


The first installment in the epic fantasy series by bestselling author Megan Linski, Rhodi’s Light is an action-packed thrill ride that will leave readers begging for more.

My Review:

After losing their parents Dyliana “Dylan” Fairsson and her twin brother Devin in an accident they find themselves homeless and getting by with any means afforded to them. Until the day they are caught by a couple of Rhodi, who are also twins, Talidin and his sister Tavana. After some consideration Talidin and Tavana decide that Dylan and Devin are worth saving and take them in so they can train them to be Rhodi like them.

All their lives Dylan and Devin’s parents have kept them on the road and in hiding. Their parents never told them why or who they were running from or why it was so important for them to stay hidden. They never had friends growing up because they never stayed in one place long enough.

Devin loves his new life with all his new friends and gives it everything he has. He wants nothing more than to please his masters and to do that he must excel in his training and in school. Dylan on the other hand is a different story. While she is very grateful to Talidin and Tavana for taking them in and giving them a place to lay their heads at night and food in their belly’s she is not giving her training or schooling her all.

Dylan has a lot of stuff going on in her head. She blames herself for the accident that they were in that killed her parents. Dylan just doesn’t care about life or anything else at the moment. She has no room in her heart and head for all the sadness and hurt that is filling it up. Until she can release some of the guilt and pain in her heart and forgive her self then there will be no room for anything else. Besides all the suffering that Dylan is going through she has to worry about the Hunter’s Guild finding them.


I have really and truly loved reading Dylan’s story and following along with her on her journeys. I can relate to Dylan on certain levels and sort of know what she is going through and how she feels. I love that Dylan has so many people that care about her that will help her get through it all. She has friends and a new family that cares about her and will do anything to keep her safe. Rhodi’s Light has been an amazing journey and has taken us down so many different roads with lots of twist and turns that will keep you hanging on for more. And now I can’t wait to start the next book Rhodi’s Rising to see where Dylan, Devin, Talidin and Tavana take us on next. I hope to see you there.


Rhodi Rising
(Rhodi Saga #2)
by Megan Linski 
Published by: Gryfyn Publishing

Publication date: September 4th 2016
Genres: Dystopian, Fantasy, Young Adult


Forced into hiding.
Desperate to find their masters.

In the past few months since the attack on their home, twin assassins Dylan and Devin have grown restless. With the Rhodi facing extinction, they search for their masters Talidin and Tavana, only to discover they’ve gone missing. With nowhere to turn, the twins seek help from a pair of mysterious spies, only to find the trail gone cold, marked by hints of torture and destruction.

Dylan and Devin piece together the events that led to the disappearance of their fellow Rhodi. As their enemies close in for the kill, Dylan discovers that some things are impossible for a Rhodi…but not for a tigress.

The stakes and romance are heightened in this epic dystopian sequel to Rhodi’s Light. Bestselling author Megan Linski brings readers a young adult fantasy with magic, mystery, and an epic adventure that races quickly to a breathless conclusion.


My Review:

When their Aunt and Uncle find them at the home of the Rhodi where they were staying after they lost their parents in an accident Dylan and Devin are forced to go live with them. Dylan and Devin do not want to leave their Masters Talidin and Tavana. Talidin has become like a father to Dylan. There is a bond between master and student that no one can break. The master will give his or her life for their student to keep them safe.

After their new home is attacked by the Hunter’s Guild and their Aunt and Uncle are taken captive. Dylan and Devin along with their cousin Tristen have nowhere to go except back home with their Masters. On their way back home they meet a very nice family with a boy about their age and a little girl whom they all become fast friends with.

When their Masters Talidin and Tavana come up missing Dylan, Devin, Enfys and Jenna go with them back to their home to help them find Talidin and Tavana. Enfys and Jenna are Searchers who can find out anything you would what to know or need to know.

Talidin and Tavana are very lucky that they have such caring and dedicating students as Dylan and Devin that will not let anything get in the way of them finding their masters and bringing them home. Dylan and Devin are very lucky to have such wonderful and amazing friends as they have in Enfys, Jenna, Tito and Tristen to help them with their mission of rescuing their masters.

I have enjoyed following along with Dylan and Devin on their journey of finding Talidin and Tavana. Sometimes they make you laugh but then sometimes they make you cry. Dylan and Devin will take you on some bumpy roads but in the end the ride will usually level out. Dylan and Devin have some pretty amazing and fun friends.

Can Dylan and Devin find Talidin and Tavana before it is too late? Can they stop the war between the Hunter’s Guild and the Rhodi before more people are tortured and killed? To find out all the answers pick your copy today!


Rhodi's Lullaby
(Rhodi Saga #3)
by Megan Linski

Cities burn.
Governments fall.
Lives are lost in a desperate war...one the Rhodi are losing.

The world has been devastated by the tyranny of the Red Huntress. To save Crescentia, Dylan and Devin attempt to decipher the mystery of the ancient letter their ancestors left behind, the only hope of salvation for their kind. Dylan continues to fight foes both on the battlefield and within her own mind, all while wrestling with the confused feelings she has for Enfys, the alluring spy who has become devoted to her cause.

In the epic conclusion to the thrilling Rhodi Saga, one brave warrior will stand in the way of corruption, to take place before her destiny…or her death.

Rhodi’s Lullaby is the third installment in the suspenseful young adult dystopian series fans and critics are calling an original masterpiece in the epic fantasy genre.


Rhodi’s Light and Rhodi Rising are also available. Catch up on the entire series today!


My Review:

Dylan and Devin are back home after rescuing their masters from the Hunter’s Guild where their leader and Queen the Red Huntress Rachael was holding them captive. Rachael wants nothing more than to take over Crescentia and make all the people her slaves. She also wants to use the Rhodians as well for her own proposes. The Rhodians was created to help people and keep them safe and they will fight to the death to keep the people of Crescentia out of the hands of the Hunter’s Guild.

Dylan has had a hard life and hurts herself sometimes. Each time she does it and she is caught she says she is not going to do it again. But with war hanging over their heads and the stress that goes with it hurting herself is the only way that she can handle it and make the hurt go away. Dylan thinks no one cares about her or wants her around even though Talidin, Devin Enfys, Tavana, Tito and Jenna are always showing her and telling her differently.

Enfys has feelings for Dylan and wants their relationship to be more than just friends but Dylan is afraid with the war hanging over their heads that if she gets involved with Enfys that she will hurt him or she could lose him and it would break her heart if she allowed herself to love him and then she lost him.

I have really and truly loved following along with Dylan, Devin, Talidin, Tavana, Enfys, Jenna and Tito while they fought Rachael and the Hunter’s Guild. There were times while I was reading Rhodi’s Lullaby that I would find myself crying because I was happy and sometimes because I was sad.

I have enjoyed reading all three books in The Rhodi Saga and hope to read more. I am not sure which book of the three books I liked the best but if I had to choose I think it would probably be Rhodi’s Lullaby. The Rhodi’s Saga is going to be with me for a long time to come. I think I may take a piece of The Rhodi’s Saga with me always.
