1. I am an animal person, so I love both, but I seem to have a special understanding/kinship with dogs that I don‘t have with cats. 😅 🐕
2. My husband and I have five whole days off together to fix up the house and relax! ❤️😍❤️

#7days7books that changed me. This time I‘m doing all books that were part of my childhood reading journey.
so-soThis is the first book in the Mage Wars trilogy portion of Mercedes Lackey‘s long Valdemar series. I desperately wanted to love it but I struggled with the choppy narrative and the pacing. I enjoyed the characters: different creatures work with humans to fight a war between two powerful mages. This book is more about the character relationships than anything else. I didn‘t care about the action scenes at all-the war plotline was super boring.
so-soI really wanted to love this, but the style of writing fell flat for me. I enjoyed the story, but didn‘t care for the way it led up to certain events, skipped said events, then moved past the event with very little detail. I think eventually I‘ll pick up the rest of this trilogy, but now is not the time for me.
I‘ve had the Mage Wars trilogy on my shelves (kind of, they were actually in storage until I moved🙈) for a while now, so I thought it was time to start them. I‘m a few chapters in to this first novel & can‘t decide how I like it yet 🤷🏼♀️ Going to push through a few more chapters to see how it goes. Not going to lie, I am a sucker for these good/bad fantasy covers, which is part of the reason I bought this trilogy 😂
pickI've read this book probably more than fifty times (was a fave as a young teenager) and that last scene with Urtho makes me tear up every time.
