Lots to love here. The world building is incredibly lush, with customs, costumes, landscapes & architecture really vividly portrayed. The themes of language, faith & loyalty are interestingly played out, posing characters with moral and ethical dilemmas.A few scenes forced me out of the world - the presence of too much beauty & some dodgy decision making in the time of crisis. But a very solid extension of the series and a great set up for book 3.

With my phone announcing my screen time was up 35% last week - I think it‘s time to leave the real world behind and delve back into fantasy 😍

magyklyXdelish That cover 😍 3y

Mitch @magyklyXdelish the whole series is just so beautiful! 3y

Crazeedi @Mitch oh no! I bet if I had that on my phone it'd tell me the same 3y

MsMelissa Gosh, that cover is so much prettier than the version we have here! 3y

DGRachel Ooh, my favorite author. Enjoy! 3y

DGRachel @Book_Fiend_Melissa Ausma sent me an inscribed UK hardcover of The Bloodprint, so I‘ve had to order the rest from Goldsboro as they‘ve released so I can have a complete set (the Goldsboro are signed limited editions), but they take FOREVER to arrive from the UK. The last book released in October and I STILL don‘t have it. 😭😭 3y

DGRachel @Book_Fiend_Melissa But all that to say - yes, the UK covers are gorgeous! 3y

MallenNC I‘ve read and enjoyed her mysteries but need to try these. The UK covers are so pretty 3y

Suet624 Good call. 3y

Amandajoy Must be a theme, mine was up 33%. 3y

Mitch @Amandajoy I had been pretty good about limiting my news cycle - but that went out of the window last week 🥲 3y

Just finished rereading this via audiobook so I can start book 3 with the details fresh in my mind. I love this series and I love this author, as anyone who‘s followed me for any length of time knows, so I highly recommend it. However, I‘d skip the audio if you haven‘t read it in print at least once. The narrator pronounces some common words oddly. It pulled me out of the story and vexed me greatly.

RiverKScottWrites Ohhh just curious like what words? 4y

DGRachel @RiverKScottWrites I wish I‘d written them down when she said them, but I was listening at work and I didn‘t, so I can‘t remember the specifics. I‘m sorry. 😔 But, I‘m sure it will be the same narrator on The Blue Eye, so stay tuned next year when I reread The Blue Eye via audiobook and write basically the same post. 😆😆🤦🏻‍♀️ 4y

RiverKScottWrites @DGRachel hahaha okay I‘ll stay tuned. I can‘t stand listening to books with bad narrators 4y

April 1st 2019, 19:05GMT... the moment I found out my awesome pen pal is frigging famous! 🥳❤️🥳❤️🥳❤️

DGRachel

TrishB She is 😁 she‘s sold this series to all of us! 5y

DGRachel @Mitch @TrishB 🤣🤣 Hardly famous, but definitely honored by my favorite author. And if I guide my friends to good books that they enjoy while at the same time supporting a fabulous human being, then my work here is done, at least until the 3rd book is released and I smack everyone over the head with the series again. 🤣🤣 5y

Mitch @DGRachel that‘s soo cool! When does book 3 come out? Feel like I should plan strategically when to read book 2! #bookishproblems 5y

DGRachel If it follows the same path as the first two - it should be out in October. I don‘t see anything at all listed in Goodreads, but I‘ll dig through Twitter, Instagram, and her website to see if there‘s a date and report back. 😊 5y

DGRachel Okay. There‘s no cover yet, but it looks like the title is tentatively The Blue Eye and should be out either 10/17 or 10/22. 5y

#novemberwrapup November started off great with 5 star books and comics, but took a turn mid-way through. I got stuck in books and audio that I hated and struggled through and ended with a bit of a slump. Tagged book and Bad Feminist were my favorites this month. Finished 14 books/comics, started 4 others for a total of 1940 pages of print and 33 hours of audio.

This was a great follow up to The Bloodprint. Much darker, lots of twists, and interesting new characters. I can‘t wait for the next book in the series. Longer review on my blog: https://wp.me/pKWKW-56

Happy (U.S.) Book Birthday to Ausma Zehanat Khan‘s The Black Khan! To say I am excited is an understatement, but I‘m forcing myself to finish at least one current read before diving into this beauty. So, tomorrow, my sweet, we will meet again! Today, I will be strong and resist the siren song of my Kindle.😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍

TrishB I can never resist when I‘m that excited! 6y

DGRachel @TrishB I have had a severe migraine since 6 pm last night, so reading on my Kindle is too painful. That‘s really the only reason I haven‘t started it. I‘m just pretending to have willpower. 😂😂 6y

TrishB Hope it goes soon 😘 6y
