#SpringSkies Day 21: This one is an #AwardWinner - the lotus ice cream cake and the book both which won the Goodreads Choice Award for Fantasy. Loving it so far and I am trying to prolong it as much as I can so that I don‘t get to leave the Daevabad world yet. 😭
#SpringSkies Day 18: #Powerful magic lost in the Daevabad Kingdom. Paired with Artisanal Varzi salami from Pavia given by beloved Italian colleague (who also gave me Leo Lionni‘s Italian version of A fish is a Fish) - plus gouda and brie - and strawberry soju + strawberry mogumogu.
#SpringSkies Day 17: Saying that this book has #MagicalElement would be an understatement. Finished reading it late last night and now starting on book #3. I am so glad I went back to this series especially since I abandoned book 1 last year. This one is much better, I think. Paired it with umm ali, a traditional Egyptian dessert I feel Nahri would love.
pickFinally read the first installment of The Daevabad trilogy. It was fun, different flavor from most of the fantasy I‘ve read lately. It seems to be focusing more on elaborate world building and personal development of the characters rather than romance, (though I still hope there will be some). I am a bit lost in the political intricacies and not fully grasping all the tribal differences, but I‘m curious enough about what‘s going to happen next.
#SpringSkies Day 16: This one had a #SurpriseEnding that I did not anticipate. I am so glad I went back to reading this fantasy novel after abandoning it last year. Sooo good. Review is forthcoming.
My TBR for the month of April. I just finished Forgotten Sisters and am about to start Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice.
I feel like I'm the last person to know about this graphic novel, but just in case you are: it's FANTASTIC. It is set in an alternate Cairo where 'wishes' are real, come in bottles, and are subject to heavy government regulation (with all that that entails). The book tells the story of three particular vintage wishes at a man's kiosk, and the three people's stories those wishes become entangled in. I don't want to say too much more. Read it.
I'm part way through this excellent graphic novel in which "wishes" are sold on the market and regulated by governments. Here's an info box between chapters.
