Welcome to Litsy!

Slow at first but man that ending was fire!

Enjoy!

I listened to more than half of HEAVENLY TYRANT while I built the structure for a new miniature (a garden loft!) and made most of the stuff for its all-important bookcase. Even at 3x, that was kind of an obscene amount of miniature assembly. Gonna call it quits for the day.

The book is definitely a departure from IRON WIDOW, but it‘s a logical one. I‘m interested to see where the story ends up. #audiocrafting

Low pick, mostly because of the aforementioned #undramaticirony. It did get revealed in the next chapter. I also felt that all the conflicts were resolved too easily. However, I loved all the characters and found the main three all relatable in different ways, which was nice. The poly and queer rep felt very true to life, and I just loved the endings (it felt like the last two chapters and the epilogue were all different endings)!

Didn‘t enjoy this one as much as book one. I think it focused more on the relationship between the two main characters, which isn‘t a bad thing, but it kind of distracted from what I liked about the series in the first place. Not a bad one just not quite as good as book one

Gah. I was excited for this polyamorous romance and really enjoying it so far. Then I hit the halfway point and the main character reads some paperwork and discovers!!! Some DRAMA!!!

No idea what the drama is.

I‘m annoyed. I‘m going to give it one more chapter. If the drama isn‘t revealed by the end of that chapter, this is a DNF (and maybe even if the drama is revealed).

I‘m on a vacation in the Poconos as I read this book! What a fun serendipity.

The messy aftermath of destroying a government. I loved this, but I can understand why many people didn't.

It's very different from Iron Widow, the tone is different, there's a lot of political discussions, and several important characters are side lined.

It made sense to me. This was a young, uneducated girl, full of rage and hope, trying to survive a catastrophe she caused.

I don't think this counts as YA. It's a bit misleading though I guess you can't change it mid-series?

My ebook hold just came in! Urgh. I have work the next few days.
