Wil is a characer was a fresh new character for me. She is fierce yet timid, loving yet reserved. She is a walking contradiction with a world full of doubt and turmoil. She is fascinating.

This was SUPERB! I'm already reading the sequel. Well written and fast paced. Often I found myself saying aloud, "Wait, what! How can that happen?" Lol. I started feeling sad for the MC. This adventure is a must read for any YA fan. @LibrarianRyan It's going on my favorite shelf!

Good book. I have the sequel on my list to read in Dec. when published. Some of the jacket description is a bit off. She‘s not really a spy for her father, she‘s more like an errand runner for her brother. They should probably use that paragraph to describe the value of her siblings in the family

Fantasy can be a hit or miss for me, but I loved the characters and the world building in this book.
The middle dragged on for a bit, but picked up at the end. Looking forward to the next book in the series and other books by the author.

Read from May 22nd-June 11th, 2018.
Favorite character-Gerdie.

I liked this one, it has a couple over done tropes but it kept me entertained. I got in back in November in an owlcrate box, and finally got around to reading it the other night, (in about 4 hours before going to bed at 1am..)

The story is reminiscent of King Midas, he's actually sort of mentioned within the story itself, but it had some decent action, and a burgeoning romance I'm looking forward to, along with the fate of the kingdoms.

I was immediately intrigued by the world setting - medieval politics and buildings, but modern technology. Under pressure of a stressful event, Wil's power to turn anything living into gemstones is activated. After a traumatic use of her power, she leaves her home and goes on an adventure. The characters, story, and romance were all compelling. Looking forward to the sequel!

There are lots of stories like this one out there right now, but this has some really interesting new twists. It‘s clearly the first in a series, which means there‘s no resolutions to be had at the end, but it does make me want to read the next one very much.

So much #greed in this book, it's actually hard to believe. The complete lack of parental feelings is really hard to take. Wil's father is just...ugh. Also, the writing is not doing it for me. Positive thought-I'm almost done with it!

The November #Owlcrate box was AMAZING!! I have been wearing the HP hat every time the weather is cold enough, and can‘t wait to try out the Elven soap! I gave M the journal to use for at home writing practice. The book sounds intriguing. #Owlcratesociety

That-Bookish-Hiker Such a cute beanie. I saw it on their Instagram and I wanted that beanie so bad but they charged too much for shipping for it. 7y

It‘s been over a month so I can post what I got from owl crate. This is my first time trying it out and I picked an awesome month. This has been on my TBR list. Love the HP hat and the notebook with a quote from ACOT. It‘s great. The book is kind of a retelling of King Midas. I love the siblings relationships. It was a good pick for the month.

LibrarianRyan The hat is sooooo warm. 7y
398.2 @LibrarianRyan Yes! I love it. How long have you been a subscriber for owl crate? 7y
LibrarianRyan @398.2 since the second or third box. Second I think. 7y
LibrarianRyan I started it at the library. There are no bookstores close and we kept getting asked about teen sub boxes so we had 3 subscriptions to try out. We did unboxing videos and everything. 7y

I absolutely loved this book! it's like King Midas but female and jewels instead of gold.

I really REALLY appreciated that the author didn't write a character placing nonstop internal blame for her gift/curse. I loved the Dynamics of the relationship between the cursed Prince and his wife and how Will slid in. Despite not being a very long book, the relationship between the three was built quickly and well.

Cheshirecat913 You made that good, so added to the never ending list! 7y

The ‘Expecto Patronum‘ beanie sent it over the top for me (being a huge HP fan!) and the ‘Squallers‘ wooden pin from the Grishaverse has me 🤩. I‘m planning to start ‘The Glass Spare‘ (exclusive cover with signed author plate) next year when I do the POP Sugar 2018 Reading Challenge!

I don't understand what is wrong with romance in YA fantasy. I've seen many people complaining about this, but I don't mind.
This is kind of a King Midas Steampunk retelling, I feel like the author has been playing a bit much Dishonored 2. It was a fast read to relax - nothing outstanding and nothing complex, but in this case, I enjoyed it.

398.2 I am almost done with it! I was surprised about all the reviews. I am enjoying it. 7y

✨I can't decide how I feel about this one.. I had a hard time retaining anything I read and was constantly having to reread. Something about it just didn't flow right. I love the concept, but it just wasn't working out for me. It also ends on a cliffhanger, but I feel no obligation to buy the next one. 😔

GondorGirl That's disappointing. I was looking forward to this one, but I think I'll move it down Mt. TBR. 7y
abbsinwonderland @GondorGirl it was disappointing.. it could also REALLY use a map! 7y
ninergrl6 @abbsinwonderland YES about the map! 100% 7y
See All 6 Comments
abbsinwonderland @ninergrl6 glad I'm not the only one. I love books with maps anyway but this one desperately needs one. 7y
ninergrl6 I love maps in books too. I thought I was the only person who'd criticize this book (or any book) for not having one, but several of my book club friends felt the same way we do. Major missed opportunity! 7y
abbsinwonderland @ninergrl6 I thought the same! Glad we arent alone on this! Definitely a huuuuge missed opportunity. There is suppose to be another one so maybe they hear our prayers. 7y

✨This months OwlCrate theme was Castles, Courts, & Kingdoms!
✨ I'm soo stoked for this book, but apparently it's part of a series. 🙃 (Which most OwlCrate picks seem to be) I'm not sure when I'll have time to read it, but it's on the list!
✨This month's box also came with a lovely notebook, Elven soap, GoT lip balm, and a HP themed beanie! This month also marks box #13 for me! I've loved watching OwlCrate grow and can't wait for more. 📚😍

jpmcwisemorgan I‘m trying to decide if I want December‘s box. I shut it off for most of this year and turned it back on for October and November. 7y
abbsinwonderland @jpmcwisemorgan there's some boxes I haven't been too thrilled for, but this is the only subscription I've had consecutively.. I'm also not too sure about Decembers box, but I'm too curious to cancel. 🙃 7y

I also finished this one today. (Two books in one day?! Total coincidence -- one while driving, the other while eating) Meh. Could've been better. Interesting premise but the pacing was off and IT. NEEDS. A. MAP. #ya #bookclub #teachersoflitsy #fantasy (pic from Google)

kathyellendavis Omg it needs a map. Dying over here! You should have a job of being the person YA publishers consult to see if a book needs a map or not. 7y

#BookMail These next three books I bought myself off booktopia.com.au (AfterPay is a dangerous, temptation!) The Glass Spare not only has a gorgeous cover, the story is very interesting. Wil Heidle is the only daughter of a powerful king, growing up sheltered from the world. Then she‘s attacked & discovers that her touch can turn people to gemstone. At first she‘s intrigued but after a tragedy she starts to search for a cure. Very unique story.💎

Definitely picturing Matthew Daddario as Loom // "A boy with dark eyes & black waves of hair...slender black tattoos wrapped around his wrists & trailed his biceps...There was a tattoo at his throat, too, but most of it was covered by his high collar...his bottom lip was too full and always pouting...she saw the tragedy on his face" #ya #bookclub #teachersoflitsy #shadowhunters
