Welcome to Litsy!

The Kingston Cycle comes to a close as Robin tries to work to create a fair representative government, while helping the wrongly incarcerated witches rejoin society.

God this was good, but this was such an emotionally taxing time to listen to it. I loved all the characters & the gaslamp fantasy. But I was so stressed.😅Listening to people try so hard to bring about democracy, dealing w/ corruption, police brutality. Worth it, but rough.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

This was probably my favorite of the trilogy! The grassroots political action and the politics and challenges of activism, an expanded view of Aeland‘s less privileged and much more interesting echelons, the non-binary and polyamory rep, renewable energy, I could go on!

I really enjoyed the last installment in this queer trilogy. The characters are fun and the action is continuous as political unreast over the sudden loss of electricity (among other things) reaches a boiling point. Great genderqueer and BIPOC rep. I might have even enjoyed this book more than the first two, and look forward to reading more by Polk soon! #LGBTQ #Magic #Ghosts

This novel was nominated for the 2022 Aurora Best Novel award and the entire series was nominated for a 2022 Hugo award.

I liked this final book very much but it didn't amaze me the way Witchmark, the first book, did.

Tearing through the Kingston Cycle by C.L. Polk this week, about to start on the final book in the trilogy. How are these books so good?! #KingstonCycle #fantasy

I really enjoyed the final book in the Kingston cycle. Witchmark is still my favourite, but this was a solid conclusion. Also, so much cover love 💖

I have a hundred pages left in this book, a warm drink, and an hour til I have to feed the cats. Let's see how far I get 💖

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 322.

Nah...

Aaaaaaaaaaa an excellent close to this trilogy. All three of these books were at once immensely satisfying, but also hard. Through the lense of this steampunk ish magical not! London, many themes and frustrations and injustices and hopes that parallel contemporary politics are explored. The resonance make the stakes feel even higher than they are-- which makes the anxiety deeper just as it makes the Justice sweeter. A+, excellent, well done.

Oh god. What a magnificent sorrowful joyful infuriating opening. I was so looking forward to this third book. A+++ way to start this off.

I finally get to read SOULSTAR! I dove in while I cooked and ate cauliflower steak, and damn. Things get real intense real fast. I think this book‘s gonna run me ragged in deeply necessary ways.
