Book 1 came in! And tbh, I thought my dinner would take a little longer to come out…

This veggie burger (from a fish & chip shop) exceeded my expectations (I‘m extremely picky about veggie burgers maybe even slightly impossible about them 😇) would order again!

Kristen Britain brings to life a world of magical messengers and ancient evil. The world-building was so subtly woven into the story, that it slowly drew me in without even realizing it. If you are a fan of high fantasy novels that scale down the politics and focus more on character development, this is the series for you.

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I need to get back into this series. 2y

LMPBC Fantasy options: I pulled a pile because I know you are all voracious readers ❤️ if none of these work I have more…

Chrissyreadit Also- not in picture but 3y
Laughterhp I‘ve already read Sorcery of Thorns (loved it, you should read it), Nevermoor, His Majesty‘s Dragon, and Red Sister. I‘ll look at the rest! 3y
TheAromaofBooks So I've read Nevermoor and Heart's Blood. I didn't care for HB (just meh for me) but have been meaning to reread Nevermoor as I liked that one and there are some sequels now. I'm fine with any of the rest as they all sound good, although Sorcery of Thorns gets a slight edge mainly because it's a stand alone haha 3y
Laughterhp My top picks would be vespertine and the falconer. It says Green Rider is 800 pages long, so might be too long for LMPBC! I‘ve already listed the ones I read, so.. 😊 Bone Gap also sounds good. 3y
BookwormAHN I haven't read any of them so any would work for me. My top picks would be Vespertine and Bone Gap. 3y
Chrissyreadit @Laughterhp if it makes a difference Green Rider is 471 pages 3y
Laughterhp I didn‘t think you would add a 800 page book! So that would be my 3rd choice. 3y
Laughterhp Sounds good! Can‘t wait! 3y

🎧 This read like a comfy childhood classic the likes of Black Beauty, The Secret Garden, etc. I hear it reads older in subsequent books sort of like the Harry Potter series & because of this it was an easy read.

Fun action & I liked the MC. The magic & supernatural aspects were woven carefully into the story & felt, natural. I was pleasantly surprised by the first ghostly encounter. I found it delightful. I look forward to book 2.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4

I‘m rereading this series again BECAUSE THE SEVENTH BOOK COMES OUT THIS MONTH. I started this in middle school, y‘all (for reference, I‘m almost 30). It has been a whole-ass commitment to follow along, and you know I have a rule about not starting a series unless all the books are out (probably because of this one)! I‘ve reread it many times because it‘s so comforting and familiar, much like HP. Read it. 10/10

1. I‘m partial to Definitely Maybe, because it‘s what spurred me to start collecting different editions of Pride and Prejudice.

2. Yes, all the Green Rider series books; this need to be made into a movie or TV show!

#WindsOfMarch #TreeOnCover

Decided to showcase this book one of the Green Rider series, because I started listening to the second book today. A believable fantasy series which pulls you in and stays long in your memory.

It sure is windy in Michigan today! #MittenLitten

Nutmegnc I love this series. Book 8 will be out soon!!! 4y
MsMelissa I absolutely loved this series up until Mirror Sight. One of my best loved series became one I‘m most disappointed in because of that book 😥 Will wait until the rest of the books are out before deciding if it‘s worth picking back up. Is book 8 going to be the last one @Nutmegnc ? 4y
Eggs Beautiful 🌳🌲🌳 4y

Nutmegnc @MsMelissa I agree that Mirrorsight wasn‘t my fav. Most of the second empire stuff I found boring but loved the rest. And it seems like 8 may not be the last. Is that a deal breaker? 4y
CrowCAH @Nutmegnc I know, super exciting!!! 😊 I‘m behind, but this way I can enjoy the series at my own pace. 4y
CrowCAH @MsMelissa @Nutmegnc I guess not all books can be up to par. But both of you had similar reactions to it, so I‘ll see what my opinion will be when I get to it. 4y
TheSpineView This is a great series! 💚🐎 4y

CrowCAH @TheSpineView I love it too!!! 🥰 4y
CrowCAH @mabell it‘s bringing in tomorrow‘s rain. ☔️ 4y
MsMelissa @Nutmegnc Not a deal breaker, I just don‘t really want to wait another five-ten years for the series to finish. I‘ll read reviews of the final books to determine if I‘ll pick it back up again. 4y
MsMelissa @CrowCAH Who knows, what I hated about that particular book you might enjoy 😊 4y

I can‘t tell you why exactly I inevitably return to the Green Rider series. I‘ve reread this series more times than I can count and I never get tired of Karigan‘s adventures. Maybe it‘s because it was the first adult fantasy novel I devoured on one of my family‘s road trips. Who knows? But I love even listening to Ellen Archer read it to me. #greenrider #audiobooks #kristenbritain

As Terry Goodkind says, “a truly enjoyable read.”
This was a great adventure, great nostalgia (published in the 90s - and it reads like a comfy blanket), great relationship and friendship and good versus evil... And, overall, just a satisfying read.

I read the audiobook in March when the hard copy was waitlisted at the library, and I just got it. I LOVE this story. The flawed heroine, the plot, the action, the depth of the characters. Pulled me in and held me hostage until I discovered what happened next. Great adventure! Where was this book when I was younger?! First in a series, and I've started book Two.

TheSpineView I too loved this series! 😍 4y

Book 5 of the year, finished Jan 19, audio

Ahh, here's my cozy place. A standard fantasy novel with horses and swords and magic and a main character shoved into an adventure they didn't want.

This was one of my favorites when it came out 20some years ago, but I haven't read it in a good 15 years so it was practically new again. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Today's #riotgrams is favorite female character. Karigan G'ladheon has been my favorite ever since I found the first Green Rider book in the school library back in seventh grade. I adore these books and this character and all the crazy things she gets caught up in! If you haven't read them yet, you definitely should!

So good! Highly recommend to any fantasy fan, especially of the sword and sorcery variety. Kristen Britain brings something original and fresh to the genre. The characters are engaging (even secondary ones) and the plot so gripping that your book hangover will propel you to the bookstore for the next in the series.
