Welcome to Litsy!

This book was full of twists and turns and just when I thought I had it, I got a new piece that confused and befuddled me which I love when an author does that. The world building I loved is still present & this time more expansive as we are taken to a new canton for a puzzling disappearance that is actually a murder mystery full of political intrigue, blood, and power that falls to Ana and Din to solve.

This was full of grit, woe, and exploitation as the book depicts the rigged politics that keep corporations in power at the moment expense of the low working class, in this case, immigrants who came to the US for the American dream just find themselves covered in dirt and coal dust like much of their dreams.

It's crazy how although this book was originally written in 1917, a lot of it still pertains today.

This book took me by surprise in a fantastic way.

This was fun, charming, whimsical, and once I got into it, this was full of sharp and smart characters with some representation of LGBTQ and chronic pain.

I'm really glad I decided to bump this up and read way faster than I expected due to the quick pacing, the marriage of convenience, the MCs catching actual feelings, and saving a kingdom.

I really liked how the author tackled this epic movie, reimagining it, Like I said in Luke's POV, so there's opening chapters where Luke walks the reader through Jedi Tutorials, or glosses over the mushy romance stuff, well mostly, so that the reader feels like he's learning from Luke but also experiencing the whole book in his shoes, which is different from the first book in the series.

I was hooked from the opening chapter and the great dialogue and next thing I know, I'm sighing and giggling as the book progresses and around the last idk 20-25%, this book had me crying. Granted by then it had gotten to a particular moment of grief, and it triggered my own which was cathartic.

I have too many feels from this one.

This was an ok holiday read. There were a few of my favorite tropes included like small town romance, a little forced proximity, with a dash of sunshine x grumpy sprinkled throughout the book.

I actually ended up liking the whole story a little more once I stopped thinking of the romantic aspect as I ended up liking the background characters a lot more, even Blair Bloody Beckett 😁

This was a solid read.
It's my first time reading anything by this author so as usual I wasn't sure what to expect other than the book blurb, which was enough to get me to pick this up.

It's fun, and quirky with fantasy and body horror elements mixed with a sapphic romance between a human and shapeshifter.

All in all though, I had a fun time reading this one and would definitely consider another from the author.

I felt that this volume was had a slower pace, and I mean SLOW, that I couldn't really get into this one as much as the last two volumes until I saw the Nightmare Knight towards the end.

I like the brief moment between him and Princess Parfait. I felt like they have a funny relationship and I'm hoping for more an unexpected friendship.

Another one off the TBR list and this was such a good surprise!!

This one had me within the first chapter and as I kept reading I was enthralled by its rich world building, full with great historical fiction, notes of myth and medieval blended to create its own lore. Not to mention the well developed characters , their dynamics between being a found family and a rag tag crew.

I've had this on my TBR for so long I had almost given up hope that I would get to read it, but the library had a copy!!!!

I liked the range of folk tales from around the world, although a lot are from Great Britain, overall it was a good mix of different countries which is nice to read but I only ended up enjoying a handful of tales.
