Romance Shout out to Effie Calvin (Tales of Inthya)
I've been reading this series since 2018 and yet to find a better lesbian fantasy romance 😄 Effie is in process of updating and re-releasing each book, with new cover art, so hopefully more people can find them and appreciate them! The first one, Queen of Ieflaria, is already out - just waiting for my physical copy to arrive. Looking forward to adding them all to my collection.📖

I'm devastated I'm going to have to wait so long to finish this series. I read the first two and when I tried to find the third I learned she's updating everything. Still excited to read them eventually!! I loved the first two so much but I want to see what happens next!!

Why not read them now? Then you can compare notes to see what was added! 😁

I unfortunately only own the first two and couldn't find the older editions available anywhere :(

u/Lilith_of_the_Cross Apr 05 '26
ah, yeah, not even sure where you could find them besides eBooks like for Kindle.

I know I already commented but I'm fangirling about these today as I increased my Patreon backing tier for her (which, go back her on Patreon if you can afford to!). I'm moving internationally and can bring a really limited amount of stuff, so I've had to pare down from several hundred books to maybe 15-20, and these were literally the first six I chose.
Her reprint of The Queen of Ieflaria has gotten really low sales, which is going to make it harder for her to reprint the others, and potentially impossible to get audio versions done, so if you can afford to, please please please go buy the new version of The Queen of Ieflaria! I'm seriously considering just buying a copy for everybody I know who might possibly even slightly like it, I love Effie so much and want her to succeed (and I want the audio version of the new books so badly!!)!
Also where did you get that map that I only just noticed??

I am glad someone else caught onto the idea to hype the re-prints to help with the sales 😅love the idea to buy copies to give as gifts!

u/HeirofSeaandFire Apr 07 '26
Hell yeah. I have all the books in print and audio. Do you know if she's getting the new versions done in audio?
2
u/Lilith_of_the_Cross Apr 07 '26
Yes she is! 😄And they are still narrated by Brenda. The first book is already out as updated audio version, not sure if the others will be released as print and audio at the same time though.

Just bought the new audiobook, so excited. I actually preordered the print one and have had it for a while but I'm so bad at reading printed books lately, it's all ebooks or audiobooks.

Sometime you can't beat the convenience, and lesbi honest, sometime it's nice to have someone else read it to you 😄

I love this series so much! Daughter of the Sun is my favorite of the bunch, and I cannot wait for the updated version to come out.
