Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m staying near a library branch with a puzzle exchange! Today I dropped two off and picked one up—and since they also had a great queer history display, I came away with a few books to boot. I‘m especially excited for A CLASH OF STEEL, since I loved the two previous remixed classics I read.

Pirates are cool. Pirates with magic are cooler. Pirates, magic and a capybara? An a chinchilla? And a marmot? Well, that' more than cool. I didn't always get what's going on, but I didn't really care. Why should I if I can spend time with a capybara pirate captain? And the sweetest chinchilla boy?
Thanks at @PuddleJumper for letting me steal this book 😉

I loved The Wicked Bargain so much that it will be one of my favorite books of the year. I even read the sequel set in the same universe that happens after the first book but focuses on Dami.

What did y'all think?

I found this a very engaging and enjoyable take. I liked the combination of fact with fiction. There‘s a smattering of romance and a soupçon of the supernatural. I enjoyed reading about Moroccan culture, it‘s very colourful and descriptive. It‘s beautifully written and very evocative of the time periods. The characters are well drawn. The ending maybe a little rushed but that‘s nitpicking. All in all a wonderful read.

I really enjoyed this. I loved how realistic the characters felt, the banter and humour between characters was fun. The quest was exciting and just the right pace, I didn't feel any lag. The setting was awesome, I love anything set in the Middle East generally and I loved how history and place was woven into this.

I dont read an awful lot of fantasy but this one is super assessable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A reread to finish the rest of the series that I own and haven‘t read.

This book has a good premise where books are powerful and only a select few can read. But it sure is cheesy at times and sometimes a little gruesome.

In the beginning the world building kind of is a slow burn to understanding but I quickly became invested in the characters. I also did this in audio and the narrator was really good.
