This was a re-read as I just bought the second and third books, but it's been so long since I read the first.
It was as good as I remembered!
You have to love a book with an assassin who has a shadow cat living in her shadow. I love that she named him as a child, so his name is Mr. Kindly.
This is a fantastic book about a girl training to be an assassin to get revenge for her family.
I can't wait to finish this trilogy!

#ScarathlonPhotoChallenge #Day6 #Shadow This book not only has shadows on the cover, the MC is able to use shadows & has a shadow cat called Mr Kindly. I love this author, he‘s a 6‘7 aussie with some awesome tattoos & he can write a great story. #Scarathlon #SpookyGhostClub 6pts

I was hooked from chapter one, though I struggled with the notes and pacing for the first half of the book. The main character Mia was so awesome, I loved her way of thinking and her cleverness, + I also liked Mr Kindly the non cat. The world building was extraordinary but I did get confused. Tric + the kinda romance was a nice break from the darkness of the book. The twists and plot was unexpected + so good, especially the ending + cliffhanger.

Characters were brilliant, I especially loved Mia, Naev and Aelius. There were still many characters that you knew almost nothing about. But overall the cast was awesome, so was the atmosphere too. This was really mysterious, dark and unique world.

I have mixed feelings about the writing. Sometimes I loved it and it was fun & clever but sometimes I got tired it being so flowery.

This book had many good twists and I loved how they surprised me.

TheSpineView This is on my TBR list. Maybe I should move it up. Great job 2y

I HATE bailing on books, but I have way too many books begging to be read to keep trying to plow through something so boring. I absolutely hate that half of this story is told in footnotes. I find it incredibly disruptive to the flow. I had high hopes for this one, but alas, it‘s not for me.

Sorry #LMPBC group! I have to bail on this book. The writing is so small, that I‘m dreading picking it up. It makes me feel like I need to go to the eye doctor for glasses.

Also, every time I get into the flow of the story, there is a footnote and I have to stop and get back into the flow. It‘s annoying. 🤣

This is also the 2nd time I‘ve tried to read this book and I‘m just not feeling it. I don‘t think this author is for me.

Chrissyreadit Oh no!!! 2y
TheAromaofBooks I struggled in Part 1. The footnotes decreased in Part 2 so things got better, but all that tiny print in Part 1 was really hard to get through!! 2y
TheRiehlDeal Maybe give it another shot on audio? 🤷‍♂️ At least you won‘t have to struggle with the small text. 2y
BookwormAHN The tiny print is ridiculous. 2y

This was my May #LMPBC read. It took me a little while to get into - the book starts slow and Kristoff uses copious footnotes in Part 1 so a LOT of tiny print!! But after that the pace began to pick up and I found myself really invested in these characters and what was happening. The world-building was vivid and engaging and I found the concept of sand krakens to be delightfully terrifying. This is a little darker than my usual fare and I'm not ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) sure I'll finish the trilogy, but it was still a solid pick. Keep in mind this is definitely adult fantasy rather than YA.

@Laughterhp I'll let you know when this one is headed your way!!

Okay, @Clwojick 's #BigJuneReadathon has challenged me already to assess where I am with various challenges/goals for the year. I'm doing pretty well at some of them - I'm steadily working my way through classics via #BookSpin and have checked quite a few 600pg+ books off as well. I've been pretty committed to #Roll100 and my #TBRDeckofCards but realized that where I am getting bogged down is SERIES! Somehow I'm already in the middle of five, and⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) my “on deck“ books include the first books in eight more!! So the windowsill pile is reduced both because I did finish seven books on vacation, but also because I removed those eight “first“ books because I won't start them until I finish another series. My #WeeklyForecast involves finishing the tagged book for #LMPBC, and also prioritizing Book Lovers and Book of Night as those are both due back at the library. My #BigJuneReadathon 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) goals are to finish two series and to complete my reading goals from past months, excluding all the first books. This week I'm also hoping to get back on track with my chapter-a-day reads - I abandoned them all when I was out of town (especially you, Scarlet!) but am ready to get back on the bandwagon and see what happens!! More books coming to the windowsill for next week - I can't believe June is Wednesday!!

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! #Goals 🍾🙌🏻🥳 and I CAN see out the window!!! 2y
Clwojick Great goals! Series are such a tough one for me. I‘m so bad at starting new series on the daily, and never going back to finish old ones. 🤭 2y
TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick - I get a little obsessive about reading the series in order, so I get frustrated when I have too many on the go at once! 😂 2y

Finished - and sending TODAY - I think this was a different spin on some horror, bad ass teen, girls kick ass , fantasy tropes. It reminded me faintly of Red Rising. I liked the world and character building- I thought at times it had the potential for depth of a more “adult” complex book and felt like a YA/Adult hybrid. #lmpbc

Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks I definitely plan to read the rest of the Navigating The Stars. I really enjoyed it. 3y
TheAromaofBooks My only real problem is that I read that trilogy and the Aurora Cycle at almost the same time and even though they have completely different plots, they both involved space and time jumping and a group of snarky friends so they have somehow mushed together in my brain into one giant story 😂 3y

I struggled with this at first (I really disliked the footnotes and the sarky teen tone), but I was into it by the end, and I will read the rest of the trilogy so I will rate it a pick. It was a slow burn though!

I loved the world building and all the characters. Mia is a well fleshed out awesome female lead. We have Hogwarts style school only for assassins not wizards lol! It‘s dark, it‘s brutal, it‘s bloody, it‘s vengeful and it‘s lusty!!! Huzzah! The magic systems however are bit wonky to understand just yet, but hoping that will become more defined as I go.

I really enjoyed this world and the way the author builds it. The only complaint that I have is that everything the characters say is in sarcasm and it really makes then sound like immature children. Other than that I really enjoyed the story and plan to finish the trilogy.

Another long-standing one off my TBR. This was a lot of fun! The audio was a bit difficult to get into, as the author uses a lot of repetition. I had to rewind a few times just to make sure I wasn‘t hallucinating and the app wasn‘t glitching. I‘ll probably try to read the next one though.

Thanks to all of you raving about Empire of the Vampire for making this happen finally lol

#LittensDressedInBlood #Day15 #PetSematery I‘ve chosen this book for today‘s prompt because of Mr Kindly, the murderous shadow cat pet of our MC Mia Corvere. After barely surviving the murder of her family, Mia is taken in by an ex assassin & puts herself on the path of The Red Church(assassin school!)& vengeance with Mr Kindly giving advice along the way. It may have a young MC but this is no YA, lots of blood, curses & smut. I loved it❤️

This was ok the first time I read it and it's still just ok. The world is great, the story is very interesting but I really don't get the hype. I found myself bored for a large portion of it and the footnotes being forcefully inserted into the audiobook made me lose interest pretty quick. I understand why it was done (how else do you listen to footnotes?) but I lost a lot of the story

Adulting sucks sometimes but here's something NO ONE tells you...you can buy cake whenever you want! Had a shitty week and dreading the week coming? You can take your adult money, buy something ridiculously rich in chocolate, sit on the couch, watch trash TV, listen to an #audiobook and just blissfully ignore everything for a while. There's no one to tell you no! Buy the damn cake and enjoy a bit of happy 😊

A brutal, dark fantasy with echoes of Game of Thrones, The Witcher and Shadow & Bone. Mia is a lead heroine you root for and with her daemon side-kick Mister Kindly at her side you see her start to take shape as a deadly assassin. With a full range of characters of all shapes & sizes Kristoff is carving out a brilliant world so I look forward to the rest of the series. The only quibble, the needless, distracting footnotes, stick with the story.

It took me a few chapters to get used to the writing style, but once I did, I went on quite a ride. I loved all the annotations at the bottom of the pages and I loved Mia and Mister Kindley. The entire story was dark and thrilling, and I'm reaching for the second book.
