Sanguen Daemonis | Zabini Anna

Pickpick

Oh wow, that was dark. So very dark. But so, so good! Please mind the trigger warnings and don't read if you're in an unstable state of mind!
Oh, my heart lies in pieces. Anna Zabini wrote a masterpiece of some kind. I didn't really get the system behind the human-daemon-connection, but that doesn't really matter. This book still broke me.
I'm also impressed by how Zabini tells her story. We're skipping around in time, so I always needed ⬇

Jari-chan to check where in the timeline we are and which scene happend before and after. But since it's so well plotted, I always found my way. So, wow. But ouch...

#weekendreads

Really loving the tagged book which is one of my #Roll100 picks for July.

Getting back on track with #DoorstopKristen

The third title is a #BlameitonLitsy spontaneous read.

ChaoticMissAdventures I really loved Empire too! It felt really layered and fresh. 3d
Ruthiella @ChaoticMissAdventures It‘s giving me Ann Leckie Imperial Radch vibes, a trilogy I loved . 3d
Lesliereadsalot Ooh…a Hugo Award winner! I loved Imperial Radch, will have to read this one, 3d
Ruthiella @Lesliereadsalot It has a similar complexity in its depiction of culture and diplomacy. Which would be too slow for some readers, but I enjoy it. 3d
Centique Oh im so glad you‘re enjoying it! Yes reminded me of Ann Leckie too 😍 3h

#roll100 read and a soft pick from me - the pacing was a little off but this ramped up by the end - it felt Rosemarys baby-esque to me. Eloped all the discussion of old film too!

SamAnne Same for me. I loved the backdrop and the history of the story! 3d

3✨ Trigger Warnings for mental health and suicide for this one. A very smart young man suddenly becomes overwhelmed with self-harming thoughts and admits himself into the hospital. He learns much more about himself and how lucky he is. It was a good story about overcoming, and how you need to take care of you. The author went into a psychiatric hospital and has woven a story that the path to happiness is not always so clear. #Roll100

The Glass Dragon | Irene Radford

DNF- I was having trouble wanting to pick this up. I was excited to read about a dragon, and it does have the dragon, a wolf, a cat, a magician, and a strong woman with a past. Everything you could want, but there was mention of men‘s work, woman‘s work, and she is in hiding because maybe her husband who abused her? I went 100 pages in and it‘s just not grabbing my attention. As an inherited book it‘s time to let someone else enjoy it.

Generally enjoyed this but there were a few too many characters.
A soft pick.
A #roll100 read.

Quite different from the series streaming on Netfix. Not sure which version I liked better. Enjoyed both.

#Unpopularopinion. It took me a long time to read this book and that‘s probably because it‘s so boring and annoying. Frank and Cleo are married on a whim and this book is about their based-on-nothing marriage and the friends surrounding the couple. Everyone is beautiful and doing drugs and alcohol and anti depressants. I didn‘t see the point. At all. #Roll100

monalyisha Ha! Vicious. 😅🙈 Have you read anything else by her? Wondering if it‘s her writing style you don‘t like or this book, in particular. 6d
Lesliereadsalot I bailed on the Blue Sisters, such boring characters! 6d

Deblovestoread Great review! I bought this after reading Blue Sisters which I loved. Won‘t be hurrying to read this one. 6d
Cathythoughts Great review. I don‘t think this is author is for me , there‘s just something that doesn‘t work for me 😬 6d
BarbaraBB @monalyisha I preferred Blue Sisters but didn‘t like that one much either. I guess she‘s just not for me. 6d
BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot I didn‘t bail on Blue Sisters but didn‘t like it much. I agree on the characters, which is a problem again in this book. Don‘t read it 6d
BarbaraBB @Deblovestoread You might like it if you loved Blue Sisters - which I didn‘t either. I often don‘t like books about people doing lots of drugs and partying. 6d
BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts Don‘t bother! 6d
sarahbarnes This review makes me chuckle and I will be not reading this. 😂 4d

OK, I am very behind on all reviews as I read this book in May but never reviewed it & just finished the second book in the series that I was reading for June‘s #Roll100

Overall, I liked this book although it could be shorter. I also for some reason thought it was lighter/more humorous (not sure why) & it‘s pretty dark. I didn‘t like the ending but it did make me read the next book. I did like the LGBTQ representation.

DieAReader Excellent!🎉🎉 1w
