pickProbably my favorite in the series so far. We start to see the characters mature and grow. Still some "these characters are so stubborn" redundancy. But not overly annoying yet. I liked that we got to hear a little bit more about the current state of the Two Rivers (I had been wondering). And that we got to learn a bit more about Aiel culture. Jordan clearly put a lot of thought into making distinct cultures for all the regions/countries.
pickA soft pick. This series has become more engaging as it continues. I forgot to do a review of this one and am already on Book 5. With this series, I think there are a lot of plot holes or things that aren't necessarily explained well. But I enjoy how the characters are written. They all have distinct personalities and it is interesting to see how they struggle with various situations where it is not immediately clear what's the "right" thing to do

Vianne Rocher sweeps into the town of Lansquenet and opens a chocolate shop across from the church during Lent, making an enemy of Father Francis.
This is such a good story. A little bit witchy and full of delicious details. The food descriptions almost make me salivate. I recommend.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In the foothills of the Ibrian Mountains…
Cahe Vehswo was in the field repairing a wooden fence. It was less to keep the wolves out than to keep the stupid sheep in, where the only slightly smarter child-shepherds could watch them.

pickWell, I can still read a book in a day thank god! A brilliant book, I thoroughly enjoyed it just as much as the 1st in the series. I‘ve been addicted to her writing for 25yrs now, from before her 1st Rizzoli & Isles book & she‘s one of the few writers who can still put out well written work decades later. I love the premise, a small Maine town with a circle of ex spooks who use their old skills to solve crime. Highly recommend. #SeriesLove2025
“…he knew his own soul, it was dear to him, he protected it as the eyelid protects the eye, and did not let anyone into his soul without the key of love.”
pickSet in the late nineteenth century, this is a short novella of two intertwining stories. First is a priest who is hunting a blue fox and gets trapped in an avalanche and ends up hallucinating. The second is the story of a herbalist and the girl with Down‘s syndrome that he ends up rescuing and caring for until her death. The two stories come together and while there is darkness there is also goodness in this story.
