“Curse this world for what it doe to the mothers, for what it does to the daughters. Curse it for making us strong through loss and pain, our hearts torn from our chests again and again. Curse it for forcing us to endure.”

Iron Gold is set ten years after the events of Morning Star. It took me a little while to get into the groove of the new events, but once I got oriented with the new setting I feel in love and was so happy to be back in the Red Rising world. Iron Gold really makes you think about right and wrong and the cost of the war; it‘s serious in a lot of ways but still a fun sci-fi read #howlerforlife

There are imagines that stay with you your whole life, weather you want them to or not. Here is one that I imagine will make the cut. A man in a blue smock and a hairnet walks across a factory floor with an armload of enormous chocolate-brown dildos. He is loaded down the point of absurdity...I want to trip him, not out of meanness, but just to see the penises fly through the air and rain down around us. 😂

Such a fun book! Magic, mystery and mayhem. It reminded me a ton of The Night Circus which is definitely not a bad thing.

"I don't know why I wasn't afraid. Maybe he was so big. Bigger than everyone who made me feel small...I thought about how he left spaces for me when he talked."

The Wonder started off a bit slow but it quickly gripped me! Following Anna (a girl who has allegedly not eaten in four months) and Lib (the nurse assigned to watch her round the clock to find out what is happening) this beautifully written story a wanders toward a dark truth just waiting to be discovered. Great weekend read!!

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

This was such a fun fantasy read! I've been wanting to explore more classic fantasy and I'm off to a great start. Bink, in his ordinarily extraordinary way, is such a likable character.

It took me a while to get into this book but once I was hooked I couldn't put it down! I love these characters and can't wait to learn more about Kvothe's history and what led him to becoming an innkeeper.

That's why stories appeal to us. They give us the clarity and simplicity our real lives lack.
