pickI wish this kind of read was available when I was a teenager!
As a book about a girl and her dragon, this book was splendid fun. As a book about an indigenous island girl and her endangered species dragon, this is the kind of book I've been waiting for...as an indigenous reader, this fantasy is a treasure 📚🐉💖.
I prefer books without battles, but some may find this a bit slow paced.

I finished this 1125 page bind-up of all three novels. What a journey! This is the life of a medieval Norwegian woman - from her happy childhood, to her tumultuous courtship and marriage, to her years of motherhood and wifedom, to finally retreat to a nunnery and her death. Undset makes the characters, time and place come alive and feel relevant to the modern reader.
pickThis one started out excruciating slow. And to be honest it felt that nothing really happens for the biggest part of the book.
But then when things do start to happen... O boy!
I suspected the big twist from the very first preminision made way back in the first book, but that was also one of the reasons I wanted to continue the series.
This will be an epic ride I want to continue until the very end.
This book is a horror story! Well, not literally...but as a Native American reader, this is a horror story... especially with the current political climate.
The prejudice that Anequs faces is INFURIATING. This is a reimagined world, yet the prejudice echoes from my ancestral history...and now the reality we are all facing today.

I couldn‘t wait. I had to finish!🙈
This is a story of Molly Gibson whose life is changed by two major events: her introduction to the Hamelys of Hamley Hall and her father‘s hasty decision to remarry.
Love, loved, loved this chunky classic! Molly is often passive and put upon but there are lines she will not cross, and the reader loves her for her loyalty and her integrity.
The beginning of Q3 brings the start of a new chunkster! Starting 15 pages per day with @Kelly326 (although she‘s WAY ahead of me!)

This Viking ruled world continues to feel more English than Nordic or Scottish?? Perhaps this rule comes from the Normans?? I'm enjoying this nonetheless 🐉📚💝. On Page 81

When I'm freaking out about reality, and my current read takes me to the one magical place that always feels safe and cozy...a bookstore 📚💝.
My previous book review was long because I didn't keep up with my posts as I read...I will try to do better.
Not thrilled about the threat to Kasaqua's life if Anequs fails.
I expected a world ruled by Vikings to be a little different...
Loving the steampunk vibes!

pickThese 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

I was trying to keep away from books that capture some of the darkness that is now our crazy, chaotic reality.
If this book would have been available before these dark times, I wouldn't have been as disturbed by the unjust society that Anequs and her dragon Kasaqua must journey through.

Unsettling, yet beautiful.
This world was well developed and incredibly detailed. All the characters were crafted with care and respect.
I would have liked more time on the island and learning more about the traditions there. Perhaps in the second book.
The MC Anequs held the resilience and dignity from real life Native Nations.

I am also hoping that we readers get to travel to the unconquered lands, meet the tribal people there, and learn more about the indigenous methods of working with Dragons.
This storyline is incredible.
There are 511 pages divided into 87 unmarked chapters.
