pickThis volume was a little more serious than the previous ones. It had far more drama, but I think it was necessary for the tone of the rest of the series. And the bonus story at the end was adorable, so I'm hoping to see more of that in the next volumes.
so-soFinished this one a little over a week ago and forgot to post. It was another cute addition to the series and I loved getting some backstory for July, but it was a little on the boring side at times.
In the foothills of the Ibrian Mountains…
Cahe Vehswo was in the field repairing a wooden fence. It was less to keep the wolves out than to keep the stupid sheep in, where the only slightly smarter child-shepherds could watch them.

The bones are buried deep, white against the velvet of dark water. I shudder in the cold press of the sea as I swim beneath giant rib cages. The chill has burrowed into my core, where it nestles in the pit of my stomach, settling next to the promise I made to Olokun.

I circle the ship with the sharks, slipping between dark waves. The water is layered with cold currents, sea creatures, and a ship that slices through it with cargo holds full of stolen people. I swim underneath the swells, away from the gaze of men and just out of the reach of jaws.
Waiting.

I started this today & will be finishing this today.
it‘s difficult to put down & is likely to be added to my reread stack. ❤️🔥
Unless, of course, the ending is disappointing haha

pickI got so impatient after the last volume ended basically in a cliffhanger that I went ahead and bought the next volume because I had to know what happened next. This one was just as cute as the first one. A lot of things were introduced in this volume, and hopefully, they will be touched upon more in later volumes. There were a few moments that made the pacing a little choppy, but nothing horrible.

This is yesterday‘s haiku, or rather last night‘s. I stopped to watch the twilight fade into night on my way home from the airport. (Then I promptly went home & fell asleep!) I‘ve always loved the word “gloaming.” 🌅
In the gloaming hour
Soft waves mirror fading light
Sky melts into sea
