Blackbringer
Blackbringer | Laini Taylor
6 posts | 14 read | 24 to read
When the ancient evil of the Blackbringer rises to unmake the world, only one determined faerie stands in its way. However, Magpie Windwitch, granddaughter of the West Wind, is not like other faeries. While her kind live in seclusion deep in the forests of Dreamdark, she's devoted her life to tracking down and recapturing devils escaped from their ancient bottles, just as her hero, the legendary Bellatrix, did 25,000 years ago. With her faithful gang of crows, she travels the world fighting where others would choose to flee. But when a devil escapes from a bottle sealed by the ancient Djinn King himself- the creator of the world- she may be in over her head. How can a single faerie, even with the help of her friends, hope to defeat the impenetrable darkness of the Blackbringer? At a time when fantasy readers have an embarrassment of riches in choosing new worlds to fall in love with, this first novel by a fresh, original voice is sure to stand out.

I wanted to make it all the way to March without buying a book for myself, but the local thrift store had a big sale today and I found an early Laini Taylor the library doesn't own. Oh well. 57 days ain't bad.

The Linnea Sinclair novels are for my mum, but let's be real: if she says they're good, I'm totally gonna borrow 'em.

CareBear Ooo I‘ll be curious about what you think about the Laini Taylor! 6y
xicanti @CareBear I know a lot of people who love it, so I'm glad I tracked it down. I'm also surprised at its low Litsy rating, given the rave reviews I've read elsewhere. 6y

I almost DNF this. I listened to the first few chapters and realized I didn‘t know what was going on and didn‘t care. However, I was driving and didn‘t have another book downloaded, so I continued, and I‘m glad I did. I liked the motley crew of characters - fairies, djinn, imps, crows, dragons - and the creation mythology. It could have used more character development, and the ending seemed a bit rushed, but overall it was an enjoyable fairytale.

If you're looking for Taylor's lyrical prose and intricate world building, you'll probably be disappointed. This one was alright, nothing spectacular. I picked it up after adoring her recent books, but this one wasn't up to snuff for me! Her other series set the bar too high I guess. Also WHY IS BOOK 2 SO HARD TO FIND!?!?

After I loved Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke & Bone series, I hunted down this, her #debutnovel.
It is still on my TBR but it was fun digging up previous books (this is part of a duet) once someone hits it big. It is a very different tale to her Smoke & Bone books, but it sounds fun if you like flying around with faeries. And honestly, who doesn't?

brilliantglow I am so excited for her new book😃😃 8y
elkeOriginal @brilliantglow Me too! I was sad when the pub date moved from Sept to March 2017. 🙁 8y
brilliantglow @elkeo me too 😢 but I'm patiently waiting for my preorder by trying to read some of the other books I've bought and haven't read yet (and there's like 150ish of those) 8y
elkeOriginal @brilliantglow Yeah, I don't think any of us have nothing to read in the in-between times😉 Litsy will only make your TBR grow - you have been warned! 8y
brilliantglow @elkeo hahahaha it already has but I love it. I'm trying to diversify and litsy is so wonderful for that 8y

Not famous like her other series, but Laini Taylor's Dreamdark series is full of charm, danger, and beauty! She has taken the old fashioned Victorian-style fairy and made it fresh and wonderful via amazing character and world building. I hope she completes the rest of it one day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
