Welcome to Litsy!

4 out of 5 dragons for “Palom” by @l.l.mcneil 🐉🐉🐉🐉

L.L. McNeil has crafted a much different tale than the story that came before it. Instead of the citizens of Linaria, the world itself gets explored more this time. While I did miss the fast pace of the first novel, unexpected twists and fulfilling character arcs still made for a brilliant read.

“ ‘Argh!‘
Sapora whirled round, one scimitar already out and ready to strike.
‘My…cloak…‘ Tacio said. A thin branch had snagged it as he‘d passed, and he gingerly pulled it free.
Sapora sheathed his blade. “

Tacio, master of the false alarm! 😂🤣

Thank you for this #ThoughtfulThursday @MoonWitch94

🌝 - Unfortunately, no. I forgot to look for it! 😩

🍂 - Where I work, our fiscal year ends on June 30th, so our year-end financial audit is always in September. The first thing I think of for this month is all the extra work! 😳

📖 - Tagged! I‘m enjoying it very much! 🤓

“‘Isa.‘
The voice boomed this time.
A command.
A demand of her attention.
The echo of her name floated around her mind, the voice expecting an answer.
She refused to respond.
She was a princess.
No—she was a queen.
She obeyed no-one.”

I love Isa! 👸🏻 I‘m so happy she has her own book out now.
Plus, Isa is the first literary character to ever send me a postcard! 😱
(This was part of the swag I received for preordering a copy of “Isa” 😂)

“ ‘I think you just dislike anyone who isn‘t you,‘ Isa piped up as she clambered through the window and into the room, having apparently scaled the tower. She was covered head to toe in hay, and immediately set to picking out the strands from her braided hair.”

Isa certainly knows how to make a dramatic entrance! 💁‍♀️😹

“Spitting the last of her blood overboard, Amarah picked up her scythe and slammed the bottom of it on deck.
She‘d played nice for too long.”

Amarah is such a badass pirate even by badass pirate standards! 😱🏴‍☠️🗡
