Welcome to Litsy!

I have heard a lot of chatter about this book in the last few months. Local indie bookstores never had a copy. I wasn‘t going to read the graphic novel adaptation first, but I couldn‘t resist. I wasn‘t prepared for how devastating, dark, and violent the story would be. I can only imagine what the actual book will be like. There is a small bit of hope in the end of the story. Themes: end stage capitalism, billionaires, climate change. 🌎🔥

Yay for #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin 💖

I really loved this one. The magic system was really interesting and complex. I also enjoyed the character growth and all the twists and turns as the story unfolded. Navigating family responsibilities and personal relationships can be complicated, and the author did a great job depicting that. There are definite parallels to real-world issues and politics. I was pleased with the vibe at the end. And I love this cover art!

The plot was fun but the writing was a bit of a struggle sometimes.

I'm still missing my friends after a weekend of fun. It's always hard to say good-bye, but there is always another visit to look forward to!

The Good: great writing, atmospheric setting, unsettling events that left me gritting my teeth, was left wondering what I'd just read

The Bad: was left wondering what I'd just read.

3 or so stars. More like 3.5? Yeah. 3.5 stars.

Read this over 4th of July weekend, finally posting. Loved it, Ms Beverly always hits the mark. Sexy and captivating (see what I did there?), her characters are authentic and jump off the page.
