pickHolly Black has done it again! I feel like I missed some background because it‘s been so long since I read the first book, but I could certainly follow the plot. Charlie has to get rid of Blights while trying to figure out how to get Red, the shadow tethered to her, to remember her from his previous existence as her human boyfriend. This story was a ride and I enjoyed every minute, especially the cackle-inducing ending.
pickGreat sequel! Picked up right where we left off and poor Charlie has to work for others as punishment and all she wants to do is get Vince back. Lots of mysteries to solve and problematic situations to deal with. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
First thing this morning I forgot I was holding my coffee and spilled it all over the rug, the kittens, and their food 😅
But later I came in to check on them and woke them all up from an adorable sunshine nap (instead of destruction!), and then this library hold came in and I realized I didn‘t remember enough of book 1 so I‘m gonna stay up late to really fast re-read it, so the day has improved significantly
I‘m excited! I hope I remember enough of Book of Night that this isn‘t too confusing. I vaguely remember the cliffhanger ending.
pickLoved it! Really appreciate all the support Bri had on her journey. I‘m really looking forward to reading more from this author ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a really fun culmination of the duology, & I loved the addition of Asen‘s point of view in book 2!
This is accessible, enjoyable fantasy with witches, monsters, humor, heart, & romance.
Such a good find from the Caffeine and Legends subscription box.

pickLOVED it! The sequel to This Poison Heart gave me exactly what I‘d wanted out of the story. As Briseis struggled with the loss of her mom, she has hope that she can get better back only by following Hecate‘s wish. She must bring the pieces Absyrtus‘ Heart back together. Set off to do this impossible task with her Auntie Circe and gf Marie, they find out that they have to travel across the Black Sea to find what they‘ve been looking for.
Tonight I made wangun yakni (which looks like brown sludge but tastes delish) and finished THE DAUGHTERS OF IZDIHAR. It was great, though extremely stressful since it deals with women‘s rights. I‘m always so thrilled to find secondary world fantasies that aren‘t pseudo-medieval! This one‘s pseudo-Egyptian with an early 20th century vibe to it. #audiocooking
