Finished the first part of the dramatic reading of Iron Flame. It was full of action and twists. My only complaint was how often Violet was getting hurt and tortured. However, I am looking forward to the second part!

Starting this big beautiful book, hoping to finish it before end of this year!!! Lets go 📖📖

I don't agree that this story is a story about comfort and healing or that it is an optimistic book... I'd say it was a book about a children experiencing big, difficult emotions, facing violence, death and loss. There is darkness, and sacrifice, and tears. There is also magical creatures and friendship, ecological message, but it doesn't save the story.

I‘m behind on all my buddy reads ( lol although I‘m 1/2 way thru our Dec‘s book!) I‘m starting November‘s on serial reader.
I LOVE E. Nesbit 🦋🦋🦋

We follow three different characters Orka, Varg and Elvar as they are slowly drawn into the political intrigue. This is set in a viking themed fantasy world where magical creatures abound. There is violence and betrayal. I preferred Orka‘s and Varg‘s stories, but all have incredibly hard journeys until in the end they all land in the same bloody, violent battle. I enjoyed this and am looking forward to the second in the series.

For people (e.g. me), Google “the woman with the bowl on her head” and you will find out exactly what this retelling is based on.

Fantasy is not my genre of choice unless it‘s magical realism or a retelling, and I absolutely loved this one!

Also fun useless fact: Shiori is the name of a meeting room in my workplace so it‘s good to have a positive connotation to it after this book :)

So-so read for me... So I won't read the rest of the series.
While there is a lot of creativity, I wasn't much taken by the plot or by the universe created...

This beautiful book from broken binding… big I can‘t wait to read it 🥰📖
