Welcome to Litsy!

Loved LOVED LOVED the way the MCs played off of eachother. The premise, the politics, the charming side characters were all splendid.
I like that it wasn‘t cut &dry for the political aspect, everyone had their own motivations/perceptions.
Also I love a well written YA that got me keyed up when …his breath hitches as she touches his face… or something & this hit.

KATE! @KateReadsYA I love everythingggggg. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ the tote 😍😍 so excited for both the books, such cute stickers and a months supply of sour patch kids 🍬🍬

Part 3 of the trilogy comes out in January. Perfect time to start without a huge gap in between.

I loved the characters: Tessa and Corrick had sad pasts - it was really easy to understand their actions and it was interesting to see things from both sides.

This was really political book: It's always interesting to see who is betraying who and what are someone's motives. It was a bit too clear who are good and bad ones. The one plot twist at the beginning was also too easy to guess.

Really solid book overall, pleasurable & enjoyable to read.

I read the first two books of this series and absolutely loved them.

Rereading this before I read the sequel. Sometimes I wish there was a site I could use to read a quick recap.

I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen a more abrupt cliffhanger in my life. That being said, you had me at Robin Hood retelling with a twist.

I love how Brigid always challenges assumptions commoners make of the royals and vice versa and while including political intrigue also looks at ways the rulers have failed and how they can do better, especially in areas of poverty levels.

One of my favorite authors. I‘m trying to read all her backlist, but had to read this first. #AlphabetGame @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Really on a reading streak. Wow. Finished Legendary. I think I like it more than caraval 5⭐️. Also finished One Of Us is Lying and We Were Liars. Didn‘t like these books as much as I thought I would I could see the plot twists from a mile away. Both probably level out at 2⭐️. Starting Defy the Night. Let‘s take a second to appreciate the cover. I am in love🥰

After disliking the first Cursebreaker book I never continued on with the series. I am so happy I gave this book a chance. I absolutely loved it! A spin on Robin Hood and Zorro tales with a fantastic storyline that I never wanted to put down. I loved the characters and I love how the author compared the politics of running a kingdom. I can't wait for the next book!

I love Brigid Kemmerer. I do. And I didn‘t think this book was unenjoyable. But it also wasn‘t an exciting read for me. I found more than one component easy to predict and I didn‘t feel especially invested in any of the characters. The path was too familiar and the tone of the characters felt so much like the characters from The Cursebreakers series.

“Mind your mettle Tessa.” My favorite quote from Defy the Night y‘all!

Really enjoyed this one and Brigid Kemmerer has become an auto buy author for me.😄📚📖 #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021

I just finished. It was pretty good. I needed a good fantasy since I‘ve been reading a lot of contemporary lately.

Here‘s my photo for the photo challenge - red and green. This is my current read, it‘s from my TBR and I have book club for this one tomorrow.😆🎄📖 #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021

What I‘m reading on ebook. So far so good. I really enjoyed this authors first series, so looking forward to this one

I hated this book from the beginning but once I got to the 100th pg I quickly fell in love with Corrick!

What do you do when Chaos is nipping at your kingdom's heels? When the air is rife with political intrigue, insurrection, betrayl & quite possibly, an all out assault on the crown? Who's in the right? Are reparations due? This book shows that those answers aren't always cut & dry. It was great at showing every POV. We got to see the woes & drama of ruling a sick & desperate country. This book is filled with tropey clichés yet I highly recommend it

I manage to squeeze in 3 books that were not Halloween or the team subject related but I loved them all.
I can't wait to read Defy the Night sequel.

OUABH was magical. I love that world. I hope the author can write more books involve in that world

Six Crimson Cranes was also really interesting. There's Dragon in it. The story is also unique. I had never read a book like this before.

So last night we had severe weather blow through here (tornado sirens, the works) spent the night INHALING this story while I listened to weather reports and occasionally taking shelter. Wonderful characters, amazing world building. Huge fan of this one! 💜

A new series from this author and I really liked it. Sort of Robin Hood scenario but instead of money they steal medicine to help the poor. There is a deadly sickness and Tessa is trying to help. The King and Prince are not liked by their people. There is romance and fantasy, YA book.

This book ALSO was released today, and I feel bad that my excitement over Empire of the Vampire is overshadowing all other book arrivals right now! 😂

But truly, I AM really happy this one came today too! Plus, that cover is freaking amazing, right?!

These two are my #currentreads both are good.

It‘s school holidays! First day of two weeks. And it‘s the perfect day (cold, wet, dark) for reading. If only I had the perfect book… oh wait… squee. #preview #septemberrso2021 #grabbyhands #fantasy #polticalintrigue #romance #firstinanewseries
