The Mountain of Kept Memory | Rachel Neumeier
9 posts | 3 read | 8 to read
In this gorgeous fantasy in the spirit of Guy Gavriel Kay and Robin McKinley, a prince and a princess must work together to save their kingdom from outside invadersand dangers within. Long ago the Kieba, last goddess in the world, raised up her mountain in the drylands of Carastind. Ever since then she has dwelled and protected the world from unending plagues and danger Gulien Madalin, heir to the throne of Carastind, finds himself more interested in ancient history than the tedious business of government and watching his father rule. But Gulien suspects that his father has offended the Kieba so seriously that she has withdrawn her protection from the kingdom. Worse, he fears that Carastinds enemies suspect this as well. Then he learns that he is right. And invasion is imminent. Meanwhile Guliens sister Oressa has focused on whats important: avoiding the attention of her royal father while keeping track of all the secrets at court. But when she overhears news about the threatened invasion, shes shocked to discover what her father plans to give away in order to buy peace. But Carastinds enemies will not agree to peace at any price. They intend to not only conquer the kingdom, but also cast down the Kieba and steal her power. Now, Gulien and Oressa must decide where their most important loyalties lie, and what price they are willing to pay to protect the Kieba, their home, and the world.

It took me a while to finish this one because it had a bit of a slow start for me. Also, it has dual POV and I liked Oressa's more than Gulien's chapters. I was rooting for Oressa right from the start - intelligent, resourceful and sneaky - definitely my kind of princess. Gulien eventually grew on me (as did Gajdosik) and I enjoyed the book overall. Recommended for fans of fantasy with politics.

I forgot to take out my Kindle for a #bookandcoffee shot so I'm just tagging my current read. These were the drinks my girlfriends and I got last night. I ordered the Santa Hat dark mocha because that's not available in Singapore. It's dark mocha with strawberry whipped cream, tasted great with just two pumps each of dark mocha and vanilla.👌☕

#bookandcoffee!☕📖 I've been busy meeting family and friends since I landed in Manila on Saturday, but I've been squeezing in some reading whenever I have pockets of free time (e.g. in between get togethers, while stuck in traffic). I want to read now but it's almost 4am so way past my bedtime! 😴

#bookanddinner a.k.a. had a stressful workday so had to unwind with my favorite fruit tea, yummy dinner and a fantasy book. I've been reading back to back Christmas contemporary romances so I'm in the mood for some fantasy now.

Suzze The tea looks almost like apple cider. Everything looks yummy. I haven't had breakfast yet. #timezoneproblems 7y
Chachic @Suzze Hello from the future! Not sure what base was used for the tea but it has apples, kiwi, mangoes, etc. So good! Hope you have something good for breakfast.😀 7y

I'm a day late but this my December TBR. I'm still reading for #cybils and I'm behind on all other reading. These two are books that I want to read so much and sadly keep getting pushed. #seasonsreadings2016

A friend gave me Laduree's earl grey tea jam when she came back from Europe, and it goes perfectly with scones. I haven't had much time to read this weekend because I'm out and about but hopefully, I'll be able to catch up on some chapters this evening.

I've been planning to read this book ever since I saw its gorgeous cover (looks much better in color, of course). I bumped it up because I recently saw a blogger friend share a positive review of it. Still early stages but I like the characters so far.

Also, can this count as #LitsyCooks? LOL I'm in the middle of the work day so I definitely didn't make this though.

Chachic @MrBook What a compliment from the master of meal shots himself! 😅 I seem to have mistakenly unfollowed you! I clicked follow again. 7y
MrBook How dare thee! 😜😂👏🏻 It would have been a better compliment if I would've typed with proper grammar 😂. 7y

Chachic @MrBook Hahaha I didn't even notice the mistake, I read it too fast.😁 7y
