Welcome to Litsy!

A friend of mine mentioned this book and I was intrigued so I added it to my TBR and yesterday finally started reading it. Just finished it today and I have it today, the entire book had me hooked. I am enjoying this series so much so that I am now reading the second book in the series.

With barely two hours left on my loan for this ebook, I finished Forest of a Thousand Lanterns. The writing is beautiful. I love the way Julie C. Dao takes us into Xifeng‘s world and on her journey into power and darkness. I‘m fascinated that this is just book one, because it very much stands on its own. I‘m eager to see what will happen in the next book. #FoaTL #JulieCDao #ya #weneeddiversebooks

Really love the details in this opening to chapter 26. Julie Dao does a great job placing the reader in this world. #FoaTL #JulieCDao #YA #fantasy

So I‘m officially at that point in my ebook loan where I have less than four days to finish the book, and I‘ve got just a little more than half of it left. Engage “Must Read Faster” Mode.

After finishing This Mortal Coil, I was dealing with a major book hangover. That made it difficult to get into my current read of Forest of a Thousand Lanterns. This past weekend, I finally broke through my slump, and I am loving this book. Julie C. Dao does an excellent job easing the reader into this setting and then the pace kicks into gear. Xifeng‘s duality makes her an intriguing protagonist. #YA #weneeddiversebooks #FoaTL #JulieCDao
