The extraordinary companion novel to Middlegame. The king of winter and the queen of summer are dead. The fight for their crowns begins! Melanie has a destiny, though it isnt the one everyone assumes it to be. Shes delicate; shes fragile; shes dying. Now, truly, is the winter of her soul. Harry doesnt want to believe in destiny, because that means accepting the loss of the one person who gives his life meaning, who brings summer to his world. So, when a new road is laid out in front of thema road that will lead through untold dangers toward a possible lifetime togetherwalking down it seems to be the only option. But others are following behind, with violence in their hearts. It looks like Destiny has a plan for them, after all.... One must maintain a little bit of summer even in the middle of winter.

#ihavequestions #belovedbooks
Here‘s my cargo.
This was tough,I possibly cheated bc Ultimate Hitchhiker‘s guide is 5 books, but is physically in 1 book.
A lot of these books have an apocalypse? I don‘t know if the prompt put that into my mind, but this is more sci-fi/fantasy than my shelf would suggest, but once you know whodunnit mysteries are pretty much done. So 8 fantasy/sci-fi books, a travel book & whatever Song of Achilles is considered 🤣

RaeLovesToRead Ooh, I'm looking forward to The Girl with all the Gifts & also Song of Achilles! I love post apocalyptic and dystopian fiction too... this is giving me inspiration for next time #ihavequestions 🤔 2y
IndoorDame Jemisin would be good to read as the apocalypse rolls in! 2y
Larkken oooh, interesting choices from some of my go-to authors! Hope we get to hunker down in the same cave 😂 2y

5feet.of.fury @RaeLovesToRead I honestly didn‘t expect Song of Achilles to be as good as it was. Just phenomenal. Girl with All the Gifts is really a unique perspective for a zombie apocalypse novel at a time when the zombie media was still rampant but had really seemed to be out of ideas. 2y
5feet.of.fury @IndoorDame yes! world building & emotion in this series is stunning! The resilience of the character is a good fit for facing the end times. I haven‘t read much else of hers, I have read book 1 of the Dreamblood & City We Became has been on my list forever. I‘m going to try to work my way through more from her this year. What have you liked from Jemisin? 2y
5feet.of.fury @Larkken haha awesome! 📚📚📚what are you bringing? 2y
IndoorDame @5feet.of.fury I really loved The Inheritance Trilogy! It‘s more fantasy than sci fi, which isn‘t usually my thing, but as you say her work building is just stunning! 2y
5feet.of.fury @IndoorDame Nice! I stuck that one on my #serieslove2023 list, hoping to get to it soon! 2y
DaveGreen7777 Oooh, great book choices! 🤩 2y
dylanisreading The Talisman is that good, huh? I'll have to give it another shot! 2y
5feet.of.fury @dylanisreading it‘s allegedly being made into a series from the Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things) so it‘s a good time to get into it! I absolutely loved it. 2y

Welp I know I‘m a taaaad behind on sharing my Summer Reads, but better late than never! This summer felt extra long and hot 🥵 so I turned to engrossing fiction titles that took me far away to other worlds and experiences. Here are the novels and stories that helped me escape the heat (at least for a while!)🔸 #2022reads #summer2022reads

alysonimagines I‘ve added this to my shortlist of favorite surrealist fiction about the absurdities of corporate culture written by Japanese women authors—yes, it‘s a very nichey niche! (edited) 2y
alysonimagines Thank you @ThePageantHam for this excellent rec! It‘s a fascinating experiment on the reader, just as Toni Morrison intended. I want to read it again and see if I have a different reaction the second time. (edited) 2y
alysonimagines I‘ve also added this strangely tender and touching book to my shortlist of favorite surrealist corporate culture fiction by Japanese women authors. 🖤🎌 2y

Yay! The #BigJuneReadathon was a huge success for me. I finished 87 books/graphic novels, and started 2 others. There were so many great reads but also a handful of DNFs, but that‘s normal for me. I also managed to clear my #BookSpinBingo board and read a book to match each of the Big June Readathon prompts!

I hope everyone had fun this past month! Thank you for joining me! ❤️

A huge thank you to @Andrew65 for hosting the #JoysofJune readathon! I wasn‘t sure how much I‘d be able to read and post due to the multiple back to back shifts that I had this past week, but I did better than expected. Multiple #5star reads including Seasonal Fears, A Boy Made of Blocks, A Spot of Trouble, and All the Feels 💙 Least favourites include Finn, and Love in the Time of Cholera.

5feet.of.fury Nice! 2y
kspenmoll Congratulations! Wonderful reading!! 2y

Along the same truly confusing &intoxicating alchemical lines as Middle Game, but instead of Math & Language, the seasons are seeking to crown their North American avatars. I fell into this story fast, Harald March & Melanie Cosgrove are so charming. The cheerleader who has been dying since she was born &her sweetheart.

Ascendants &other Incarnates help &hinder them as the coronation approaches. Fascinating world building.

Clwojick Great review! This is my double spin, so I have to read it soon! 2y
5feet.of.fury @Clwojick nice! I hope you find it as captivating as I did! 2y
monalyisha Interesting that we were both like, “Hmm…too long” — & then promptly marked the next book as “to-read.” 😂 2y

tokorowilliamwallace Have you read her old 2012 October Daye series volume, Ashes of Honor? I picked it up from the library; it would be my first by the author if I get to it. Sounds like urban fantasy. 2y
5feet.of.fury @tokorowilliamwallace I haven‘t! I only read her “as Mira Grant” stuff before these. 2y

For some reason I thought this was a short story collection. It took me way too long to understand that it was a novel in the same universe as another of McGuire‘s books. So I was kind like that guy who wanders in halfway through an MCU movie. “….wait do I know you, am I supposed to know you? Do you have your own movie? I don‘t get this joke?!??” Its a humbling experience.

🎧 This is a companion book to Middlegame not a sequel, Dodger doesn‘t even show up until the halfway mark.

This is a story of winter & summer not math & language.

Melanie & Harry have been in love since they were 6. Melanie was born with a heart defect. The night of their high school prom they are on the run and then on the hunt.

Multiple duos are also chosen for the hunt. If Melanie isn‘t chosen as the Winter Queen she‘s dead.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👇🏻

Twainy Mel has family members out to sabotage her quest.

What will Harry do? Will he believe this Summer King, Winter Queen story or assume it‘s an expertly crafted LARPing …

It was a solid follow-up to Middlegame & even more enjoyable. The story is more linear, so it's easier to understand and the dynamics between the characters are (on some level) more relatable. Some chapters were longer than I'd have liked for a quick bedtime read, but even the long ones moved quickly so I never felt like I was reading long passages.

I received this book from a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest review.
