I feel like she is judging me 🤔😂

It was good, a little overloaded between the plot & the magic system (a few things seemed convoluted). The characters were relatable & the metaphor to real world prejudice & atrocities came across well.

Audio. Jamaican island inspired story against dragon rider colonization? Amazing. The aspects of such were well written. The characters themselves, the sisters, were great apart. Together, I got lost to where the plot was going when they were split between their islands. First half was difficult to stay focused with, though the closing twists had me stop in my tracks. This was a fun listen and I‘m intrigued how the sequel will go about it all.

I almost never finish memoirs but I read this one compulsively. I follow the author on several platforms and have read his poetry. Recommend unless you are not down for graphic kinky gay sex.

Apparently I was really feeling "purple books" this month. Sunrise on the Reaping (which comes out Tuesday!!!) even fits this theme.

My spring break for work is coming up soon so ?? I can knock these out.

Really good but needed more Selwyn IMO. The added POVs were great, Deonn did a really good sort of recap at the beginning for where Bree, Sel, Nick & the order left off. Bree finds she can‘t run from her heritage as more secrets and injustices are revealed. Can‘t wait to see what‘s next

🎉🎉🎉 So excited!! Even though there is absolutely no room in my current reading lineup! 😆

This series just keeps getting better and better…and it‘s not done yet. This fantasy series might be marketed as YA but it‘s a great read for anyone—fantastic world building that draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources, flawed interesting characters easy to root for and against, and a plot that has all the twists and turns and SURPRISES you could want. The wait for the next one is going to be difficult…

This was a good story, although it didn‘t bring anything new in particular, with some solid growth and enjoyable characters. I would, however, have liked some more depth in the world-building, particularly the magic system, so that objects and actions had a better root. I also found the pacing a little odd — the plot was slow, but the relationships between characters grew insanely fast. ⬇️⬇️
