pick“Blood House had entered the game-and I was going to play by my rules” 5🩸
Not surprised I finished within a day. Hawley has multiple threads weaving through the novel. Then pair it with a vivid atmosphere, artistically well developed characters and unapologetic bloodthirsty. I couldn‘t put it down. #netgalley #ARC #romantasy
The Royal Astrologer, Baphen, squinted at the star chart and tried not to flinch when it seemed sure the youngest prince of Elfhame was about to be dropped on his royal head.

pickWas it too long? Yes. Was I annoyed with the constant interruptions? Also yes. But would I read this again? A third yes. Listen: I love my little guys, paladins and nun-bears both, and I just want them to be happy. Istvhan and Clara both need a NAP, STAT. The ending reminded me a LOT of the Six of Crows duology (parts of both).

Jude lifted the heavy practice sword, moving into the first stance—readiness.
Get used to the weight, Madoc had told her. You must be strong enough to strike and strike again without tiring. The first lesson is to make yourself that strong.

On a drowsy Sunday afternoon, a man in a long dark coat hesitated in front of a house on a tree-lined street. He hadn‘t parked a car, nor had he come by taxi.

So I have less than a hundred pages left and a major “twist” has been revealed - and it‘s something I really didn‘t want to be true bc it felt very obvious. Sigh.
That being said, I‘m excited to discuss this with others who‘ve read it once I‘m done (probably tomorrow).
On the #Romantasy scale for me, so far it‘s this > ACOTAR #1 > ACOTAR #2 >>>>>>> Fourth Wing.
pickSTOP these two were the cutest omg. I had such a good time in this world. Kingfisher really knows how to build the setting without you even really realizing it. I like that I can recognize her writer‘s voice from horror across to this cozy fantasy, and I know I can trust her lol. Anyway, if you like Baldur‘s Gate, read this book.

Well. Here we go!
ACOTAR & Fourth Wing just didn‘t work for me. Telling myself to suspend my judgey-ness and just open myself up to the #romantasy of it. Let‘s hope this one hits. 🤞🏻
pickI‘m not the biggest fan of #romantasy, as much seems to fall in line with a pretty standard formula with a ton of plot holes. But this one I found to be charming and beautifully written. Knightley sets up a magic system with limits, and the value systems that come with each character‘s particular caste of magic within the world are the real cause of their early enmity, rather than the pervasive “you or your family done me wrong” trope.
