Welcome to Litsy!

I finished the first book in 4 days and I wish I had finished the second one sooner because it was just as good. Such an unexpected ending and now I can‘t wait to read the 3rd and final book in this trilogy! Highly recommend!

Only 187 pages left to read.. since having my little boy all my free time has gone towards sleeping and changing dirty nappies so I‘ve been keeping my mind busy reading while he feeds on me. Hopefully I‘ll have more time to read in the new year and I have no shortage of books to choose from thanks to @Lizpixie

Book 2-Leí, Wren, Caen, Bo, Nitty & Merrin will go around different villages to find allies for Hanno‘s kingdom because the King is dead. Is he really dead?🤔Story was ok. Real action came too late in the book. Dragging the story just to have a trilogy? Mmm, maybe. You will see love between different characters, lies, betrayals, false impressions, some funny parts but also grief. Lei is not easy, she‘s impulsive but never losing who she is. 3.4⭐️

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 148.

Another catch up review from last month. This novel is incredible. It‘s prequel “Girls of Paper and Fire” by Natasha Ngan was sooo good but this one exceeded. I cannot wait for the third book to come out later this year.

If you like fantasy you need to read this series!

I love finding new series to fall in love with. What‘s your favorite series you recently stumbled on? #girlsofpaperandfire #girlsofstormandshadow #natashsngan #loveit #bookworm #readeverything #newbooks

Yes my girls!
Still some deep (maybe triggering) moments but it doesn't take away from the action!

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I really enjoyed the first book in this series but I felt like not as much happened in this book and it was slower. I will finish the series out though

I didn't know this was signed!
I don't normally read my signed books but it takes ages to get books now so...

“There‘s nothing stronger than people who endure the worst hardships in the world, and still raise their fists at the start of a new day to fight all over again.” #girlsofstormandshadow #girlsofpaperandfire

Quick read, but the story was so damn predictable 🙄

Was pretty good. I liked the first one a bit more but this one was pretty good. We meet a few new side characters but I didn‘t feel as attached to them as I did Lei or Wren. So some things that happened didn‘t affect me too harshly but still sad moments. Some things about them surprised me. The cliffhanger ending on this really gets me. And I have no idea when the last book is out. 😭

Waiting for the 3rd book, Girls of Fate and Fury is going to be torture. I need it like, yesterday.

Girls of Storm and Shadow was so good, it may have even been better than Paper and Fire! It's been a while since I have encountered a book world so fantastically engrossing.

Just started today, and I‘m so excited to finally get started on this sequel. 😊

The first book was so promising!! The sequel reduced a story about overcoming PTSD from sexual trauma with dumb jokes, pointless plot tread, and character assassinations. 🙄 Won‘t be pursuing the eventual third book.

I'm so obsessed with this series! Lei and Wren are back and both are dealing with the aftermath of their sexual assaults. There's a bunch of new characters and they're trying to gain allies before the Demon King attacks Wren's family. #YA #fantasy

Second book was just as good and intense as the first. So many moments of magic and secrets, love and grief, alliance and betrayal. And the end! Now to wait for the next book. Highly recommend these!

I cannot wait to read this! I absolutely loved the first and looking forward to continuing the story! #books #reading #GirlsofStormandShadow #NatashaNgan

It feels like my TBR keeps growing every year but what the hey? Here's the first book haul of the year!

I read almost half of Girls of Storm and Shadow yesterday. Really enjoying it. Have not been feeling good today but still worked almost 10 hours today. Gonna read a little before bed. Also saw quote this on Pinterest and thought it was cute!

Started this one last night but barely got into it as I was so tired! But I really loved the first book and am excited for this one.

Also, it's only Tuesday and I am already ready for the workweek to be over. Why can't adults actually act like adults?

This is my 270th book of the year, & definitely my last completed read of the year/decade! This sequel is an enjoyable one -picks up almost immediately after the conclusion of the first book- though it ends on a cliffhanger! Still the snowy opening felt appropriate for this snowy day here- I hope the wait isn‘t too long for the conclusion! This is a dark middle for the trilogy, but definitely engaging & fascinating! #WinterGames #ReadNosedReindeer

It‘s a chilly and rainy afternoon....snuggling with Sam, a good book and enjoying listening to “Middle Earth | Rivendell” music and ambience on the Ambient Worlds YouTube channel 💜 #booksandcats #girlsofstormandshadow #natashangan #ambientmusic

This one wasn‘t as good as I was hoping it was going to be. I found myself getting really bored with the story. It lost the spark that book one had. I‘m hoping book three will be better.

Damn you Ngan, my heart can‘t handle this! I need book three!!! 😭😭😭😍🦁

So, last week was a LONG and rough work week. Yesterday was very rainy but I had to go out and do a little Christmas shopping as well as run some normal errands. And... I was a bit naughty. I went into B&N and came out with 4 books for myself! I just couldn't help it. 👇

I enjoyed this book but I liked the first one better. I felt like something was missing. I also had cliffhangers. I really hope I don‘t have to wait until year until the next book comes out!

Def suffers from Second Book Syndrome as it‘s basically just “journey journey FIGHT journey journey FIGHT” as well as a few too many plot conveniences. But at least some of the journeying & fighting moved the plot along, & I appreciated the new complications in Lei & Wren‘s relationship, as well as seeing Wren‘s darker side. Just hope the 3rd book is the last & Ngan doesn‘t pull a “Now it‘s a 14 book series!!!” on us like some authors 😒 3/5 ⭐️

BOOOOOOOOO JFC STOP USING THIS PHRASE! I swear, I think YA authors are purposely writing this now because they know how much everyone hates it and they think it‘s funny or something. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Saturday morning reading before running errands. Someone is a little relaxed and spoiled! 💜📚🐶💜📚🐶

Oooooohh! This came in just now. Now I‘ve got chicken soup cooking, hot toddy going and brand new book. Possible cure for my head cold!😉#Girlsofstormandshadow @JP_Books @girlinthelens

It‘s easier to be strong when you‘re doing it for someone else‘s sake.

[Ain‘t that the truth.]

Picked this one up on release day yesterday and was feeling in the mood for fantasy, and I really liked the first book—hoping this is a strong follow up and doesn‘t suffer from Second Book Syndrome 😬 #nowreading

I loved the first book in this series SO MUCH when I read it that I sent the author a big gushy email about it! She was very kind and wrote me back a sweet email in response! I kind of have a special place in my heart for her now! 💕📚💕

Okay I have book 1 and still have not read it. Unfortunately I like this cover, but do not think it has the graphic punch of book one. It seems more, been there done that. It doesn't stand out in the crowd. Almost like it belongs to a decade ago with the Vampire Academy and Morganville vampire novels.

There is a pre-order campaign for this book if you are interested (I got an email yesterday).
