Welcome to Litsy!

Picked this up last night sounds interesting 🧐 so it goes on my tbr

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

3.25 stars. The writing style of this book wasn‘t my favorite - it felt “young” even though this is an adult novel. Regardless, I was entertained by the adventure and could see it playing out on the screen. I thought the poison maiden mythology was particularly interesting. My mouth dropped with a reveal at the end!

Who wore it better? 🤔❤️💙

The one on the left is the original edition and the one on the right is the Goldsboro edition! At first I thought the page edges were exactly the same and just the color was different, but looking at them side by side they are very different indeed! In terms of my favorite, I'm leaning more towards the blue one, since blue is one of my favorite colors! #goldsborobooks

Some books are literary masterpieces, some are summer blockbuster movies rendered in written word—this book is the latter type. Five people with no reason to trust each other (and every reason not to) come together to do the impossible—kill the king. The book is told from multiple POVs & moves along, in mostly expected & some unexpected, ways racing to the end of the first book in a series. Beautiful design, entertaining if predictable story.

Today's #bookmail have absolutely gorgeous edges.

And then the expected bookmail arrived a day early and I have to say, the design is gorgeous. If I remember correctly, Rebecca Roanhorse blurbed it (cool) and I‘m hoping for a great read.

I especially love the colors in the endpapers.
