pickGuuuuuuuys…this book was like a dark, kind of weird (no, I‘m not describing myself) fairytale, and had a magic system like nothing I‘ve ever read. I loved this so much. I immediately started the second book. I recommend it X 100.
It took me a while to get into this book (I was working too much) and it didn‘t draw me in right away. Very wordy! Lots of big words that would piss my husband off lol. Then it turned into a Stephen King horror and I really enjoyed it.
The lovely bush behind the book is called “Karen Azalea,” so beautiful when it blooms.

I awoke to this view of May‘s flower moon out my backyard screen door & it inspired today‘s haiku:
Before Sunrise:
The full flower moon
Bathes the world in twilight hues
Beckons through the screen

pickWell this was a lovely surprise! I really enjoyed this magical fantasy book. It is fresh and complex and has multiple layers. It deals with many issues including racism, misogyny, colonisation, faith and morality. Very well done! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickBlood over Bright Haven, by M.L. Wang (2024)
Premise: An ambitious young woman has staked everyone on becoming her society‘s first female high mage, but soon discovers a horrific secret underlying everything she thought she knew.
Review: This is a chilling book, all the more for the way it is all too reminiscent of our own world and the comfortable lies we tell ourselves to hide from inconvenient truths.
