Welcome to Litsy!

Finishes things off nicely. I read this in a day too; the pacing just yanks you through them all in one go. The ambivalence of the relationship between Swift and Cas is nicely balanced; you can root for them while not feeling that it's super forced or that they're inevitable.

This is the second in the series, they do not stand alone. The book does have a strong concept and solid writing. It‘s not very long, more like a novella. That makes the romantic elements and the resolution feel rushed.

The All Time Low Book Tag is up on my blog! It would be amazing if you'd check it out 😊❤️

If you're looking for a well written, diverse, exciting, fast-paced books full of pirates, yacht-sized monsters, and strong female characters this is the duology I'd recommend! There are so many amazing things about both of these books and the second one definitely doesn't have second-book syndrome! It's just as amazing as the first. These books hold some of my favorite characters of all time and amazing plots. I only wish it wasn't over!

HOLY WOW. I HAVE NO WORDS...page 248.
Beyond that...I'm crying.

"Of course she'd be carving her own name into Fung's fancy boat. That's what she does--she takes things and slices them up until they're hers."
I love Santa Elena. Sorry, not sorry.

If I had a movie, 20 books, a TV show, a play, and a musical...I still wouldn't have enough of this world and these characters 😭😍
On that note...this series deserves movies. Just saying. Or a TV show. Please?

Last night i finished two of the four books I was working on and one of them was Emily Skrutskie's The Edge of the Abyss which was JUST AS GOOD AS BOOK 1!

I'm gonna write a better review this weekend for this and like 3 other books

But just OMG it was so good. I want to be spirited away into this world. Get it. Spirited away 🤣😂...🙂

Finally finished TEOTA and I loved it. So happy with that ending.

Will write full review on GR this weekend.

The Edge of the Abyss is a book I would have loved as a teenager. It's not my top pick as an adult, but I'm not its target audience now anyways.

Suuuuper surprised with my January!! Granted that the vast majority of this month was buried in manga. 😻 I'm hoping my 2017 keeps going on like this. Also, that's supposed to be TSUBAKI-Chou, not Tsubaku...

Very much like the 1st book, there is plenty of action & adventures amongst sea creatures galore. But in book 2 we also get a fascinating dose of pirate politics, complexities of an adult relationship between folks with emotional & psychological baggage, as well as wonderful character depths. I'm so honoured I was able to read this early. If you loved book 1, you won't be disappointed with this!! 🐙🐙 #theedgeoftheabyss #ya #lgbt #diversebooks

Spending my weekend working on ARCs & I'm so happy that I get to read/review the sequel to The Abyss Surrounds Us by Emily Skrutskie early!! It's called The Edge of the Abyss and releases in April 2017, published by Flux. I'm a few chapters into it, & it's still just as action-packed & intense as the first! Emotions are more tense, which is building a wonderful atmosphere of suspense & anxiety that's beautifully addicting! 🐙 #diversebooks
