Welcome to Litsy!

Was sobbing at the end 🥲 100% recommend

4✨ This was a pretty fun ride! In the first book we learn about the Providence Cards. Some of them come in real handy when dealing with someone that tries to kill you! I honestly was concerned for many of the characters because this book got vicious! I found myself gasping out loud at least two times when there was a serious confrontation. Great way to end this series. #SeriesLove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

Overall I was content with the conclusion of this duology and glad I read it. One thing annoyed me but I'll add it as a spoiler in the comments. In general though I was impressed with the magic and world that the author had managed to create.

Time is of the essence to collect all of the Providence Cards to heal Blunder of the mist and infection. But Elspeth, the Nightmare, and her companions face obstacles at every turn. Such a good duology! Was so happy I picked these up. For anyone who likes a fantasy novel with a different take on magic and a short series!

I highly recommend this duology. It was original and fast paced with likable characters. I can definitely say I haven‘t read anything like this before. ❤️

I really enjoyed this duology; the fact that it‘s a complete duology was a big factor in its favor. While I definitely preferred the first book, overall it had a satisfying arc. A really good combination of gloomy, gothic vibes, a truly unique magic system (although I have some questions about the total # of Providence Cards), engaging action scenes, and a swoony romance.

I did finish my #Bookspin for March, but didn‘t get to my #Doublespin. I came very close to hitting a bingo, but as usual my mood reading distracted me from focusing on that. I did read 10 total books in March, and I have a couple that I am almost done with to get April off to a good start. Overall, I did a good job of balancing reading books from my TBR and those new releases that pull me in from Libby.

Switching points of view can be risky, but here it worked. Loved how things concluded.

An appropriately twisty ending to this duology. I‘m a huge fan of the magic system in this world. Honestly, I‘m a fan of all of it. Props to the author for coming up with all those creepy rhymes said by the nightmare.

Highly recommend to anyone interested a darker fantasy story.

February #doublespin complete! @TheAromaofBooks

March #BookspinBingo card. My #Bookspin is Two Twisted Crowns and #Doublespin is Ask Again, Yes.

A lazy Saturday afternoon on the couch. I now know to time my reading with his midday nap.

This book has me hooked! I have no idea what is coming next.

I feel so sorry for the Nightmare, even though he had his happy ending.🥺 This duology is so much worth reading, I loved it. It is now one of my favorite fantasy duology.

„In the wood, the spindle is slight. A delicate tree against hail, wind, and might. But how the tree carries, and how the roots dig. She weathers all storms, no matter their bite.“

I am so invested in this book right now.

Book mail! Love the cover!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Solid ending to a gothic fantasy. No spoilers, but I like that this story dared to go darker with our MCs where most stories wouldn‘t. The cliffhanger from book 1 was not quickly resolved and at first I was thrown. But once I adjusted to this “new character” I really enjoyed the storytelling. Had wanted to finish this yesterday🙄 normally a day doesn‘t make much of a difference, but this one did lol so, 2024 reading list it is!

What a beautiful book — and an amazing duology. Magic, ancient and bitter and harsh; Blunder, a land founded in error and imbalance; love and hate and all the shattered things that lie between. I thought the book (both books) were written in strong, compelling language, with vivid world building and characters that just became more and more vibrant and interesting. A whole history bound up and revealed, piece by piece until it all came together.

Started this today, and how am I supposed to go back to work now?!

GREAT sequel to One Dark Window 🤌. I gave ODW three stars, but this is a 4-4.5 for me. This duology is complex without being overly confusing, and does something new for me -- both stories have a romance element, and I didn't buy into ODW's. I preferred TTC's main lovers & they made me care a lot more about this world. The fantastic elements are just top tier, this world is so dark and creepy, and the story is so satisfying. Lots of love from me!

Spent the day at the cancer center with my mom. Came home to a quiet house & book mail that I‘m using as an escape from heartache. I‘ve been looking so forward to the 2nd book in this series. So today it gets my thankfulness! And also the unintended color coordination with a much needed glass of wine.
