Honestly I got this book because of #CoverLove

But I found the story lacking. It reads like a YA, the characters feel childish and absolutely nothing happens for the biggest part of the book.

These books are never what I expect, but it always blows my mind.
A very satisfying end to a very heart-rending journey.

Hob weaves true magic with her writing. Her poetic, imaginative prose takes you places you've never dreamt of; contiplating situation you'll never face, but truly do though her stories

Enchanted_Bibliophile Going into a darker, more introspective character study with this book makes it much slower than the previous two (which were already slow) so perseverance is the name of the game. Don't try to rush, stick with it I promise you'll be glad you did. Even if it test your tolerance for grimness beyond what you think you can handle. 3d
Enchanted_Bibliophile The complexity of the character bonds is what really pulled it off for me. Nighteyes, Fool I'm looking at you.
The prolonged revenge quest got a bit much for me, but the character development I got out of it was so worth it. Understanding where Fitz came from - his physical and psychological suffering - made me understand his need for revenge.

Enchanted_Bibliophile How he revenged himself in the end, O Man!
It shows just how much he's learnt and grown and it was just spectacular.

I'm gonna miss these characters, they've become a part of my heart.

Another one off the TBR list and this was such a good surprise!!

This one had me within the first chapter and as I kept reading I was enthralled by its rich world building, full with great historical fiction, notes of myth and medieval blended to create its own lore. Not to mention the well developed characters , their dynamics between being a found family and a rag tag crew.

Mere Christianity | C. S. Lewis

Lewis truly had a gift to break down complex issues into bit-size understandable chunks.

Looking into the what, the how and the Who behind some questions everyone asks themselves at one point in their lives; and explaining in a sensible manner the why behind Christianity

This was so much fun!
I loved this set of characters. Sweet little ol' people back to their old ways and honestly Joyce is quite adorable whereas Elizabeth is mysterious and a delight. I do like the ruff on Ron, he sounds like a cinnamon roll that could kill where as Ib, a bit mysterious as well but he didn't get a lot of screen time compared to the others but so far I do like this group.

Mockingjay | Suzzane Collins

I've never liked this conclusion Collins chose for the series. It always felt a bit forced and then patched up with a very unbelievable epilogue.

Re-reading it just confirmed my dislike.
It's like Collins has a comfort zone of writing, and this was way out of it.
The pacing felt wrong, the tension was non-existing and the urgency the other 2 books held fell flat where I would have wanted it to be pivotal.
Now I'm ready for the prequels!

I loved this book. James goes to Edinburgh to study to become a doctor. There, he gets into enough financial trouble that he starts body snatching with Aneurin and his gang for the surgeon he's studying for. And then they run into Burke and Hare 🖤

This was a fun read. Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon aren't really getting along. So when Obi-Wan finds Orla Jareni's note about a mysterious planet in the Jedi archives, he wants to go explore it. Qui-Gon agrees but then doesn't show up to leave, so Obi-Wan breaks the rules & goes on his own. There, he finds a bunch of kids struggling to survive on their own.
Loved Zae-Brii the nonbinary shapeshifter 🩵

I love this book, but I forgot how bleak it is. Andrew, a British serial killer, fakes his own death and ends up in New Orleans, where he meets Jay, another serial killer. Together, they team up to find their next victim 🖤
Warnings: lots of them, and for those who have read Brite's books, then you mostly know what you're in for.
