Empress of Forever | 
pickI usually dislike the throwing a character into a vastly different world thing. However this book make me realise what I dislike is the several chapters of whinging which usually follows a dislocation. Gladstone successfully avoids this by establishing Viv as a problem solver. So even as she is wondering at what is happening she remains active. This is a pacy, engaging, adventure with that bit of extra quality. Fives stars.

🚀 Race the Sands, Queen of Raiders, and I've restarted King's Dark Tower series! 🤓
🚀 BOTH! They're my favorite genres! But if I HAD to pick, then it would be fantasy! It's so comforting to me! 🐉💕🦄
🚀Empress of Forever by Max Gladstone. It was SO GOOD! Space hijinks, unique characters, solid LGBTQ representstion, and lots and lots of humor! 😁
My birthday is starting off great so far! 😀 Finishing up this wonderful book while having my favorite tea and enjoying kitty cuddles! 🤗💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #roxas
I love this book SO much! I'm more than halfway through, and it is just such a fun read! Less than 200 pages left and I never want it to end! 🤗💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #roxas
It warmed up enough today for me to go for a walk with my book! 🤗💕📚
It's kind of hard to see in this picture but it is snowing here today! ❄☃️❄ It's sticking to the trees but not really to the ground. I'm just in the beginning parts of this book but I'm already really loving it! Lesbian protagonists in fantasy/scifi books make me very very happy! 🤗📚💕 Happy Friday, littens!
Nothing like bookmail and a bowl of strawberries to help cheer a girl up! 🤗🍓📚💕
pickNot as strong as Gladstone‘s brilliant Craft Sequence, but absolutely engaging regardless. There are more bits here I skimmed than Gladstone‘s more character-driven Craft books, big space battles that didn‘t grip me as I hoped, but the world building is, as always, absolutely top shelf, and Viv is one of Gladstone‘s great leads : Driven, damaged, brilliant, but with a core of vulnerability that helps her stand out.
bailedUnfortunately, I just can‘t get into this book. I love Mac Gladstone‘s Craft Sequence and so had very high hopes for this, but I just wasn‘t sucked in by the story. I may try to read it again later, but for now it‘s adios.
This was one of my highly anticipated reads of the year because I love Max Gladstone‘s Craft Sequence. However, I‘ve been reading it since Monday and have barely gotten past the 100 page mark. I haven‘t felt inspired to pick it up and I don‘t know why. So I‘m going to set it aside for the moment and try something else.

Day 26: #library
These 4 books are from 2 different libraries: the Princeton Public Library and the Margaret E. Heggan Free Public Library! I own so many books that are still unread, but whenever I go to the library I can‘t stop myself from taking out more!! 🤷🏻♀️🙈

pickWell the ARC I got turned out to be only half the book, but it is really good. Now I'll have to buy the damn thing next month when it releases. Lol.
Anyway. This book is about as action packed as it gets. Be ready for scene after scene to rush forward at full speed. The only down side is I felt a little lost at some places, but I think that was sort of part of it since the MC is lost. Good, strong characters. Lots of fun. I would recommend.
