I was not a fan of Aelin‘s character arc in this one (no spoilers) I just felt the book could go for shock factor without her STILL not sharing information. I liked Lorcan‘s and Lysandra‘s arcs! Overall one of the better books in the series. —- Book 19 of my 25 in 2025 I need a break from this series to digest. So I think I‘ll do a few mysteries next.

The Boy in the Black Suit | Jason Reynolds

Audio. I love Reynolds writing style. I just think I‘ve out grown his stories. They feel so specific to the teen years. Like this, a book about grief, while a great theme, is for teenagers bonding over tragedy in their lives. The ending points about the flower were beautiful.

(2003) A young magician works a spell far above his level of training to summon a demon for a plan of petty revenge. Things go downhill from there. For a book in which all the characters are dislikable except for the demon a little bit, it's surprisingly fun.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.9-11: boy things are heating up! The fight with the twins and Ianthe, I couldn‘t read fast enough. I can‘t believe Feyre was being slowly poisoned. And now Lucien and Feyre are in enemy territory and have to keep each other alive. How will they do against Lucien‘s horrible brothers? ⬇️

StayCurious I bet Rhys is going crazy right now, not knowing where Feyre is and if she‘s ok. Hopefully she‘ll get to him soon. But can she risk bringing Lucien to the night court? can he be trusted? 4h
TheAromaofBooks The magic-block poison stuff made so much sense!! I couldn't figure out why Feyre was struggling with her magic so much. So creepy that she was being poisoned the whole time!! 3h
OriginalCyn620 Not gonna lie - I‘m pretty scared for Feyre and Lucien right now! 3h
LiseWorks I hope having Lucien around is helpful. I truly love the fight with those twins. Kick ass woman! 2h

Okay, I'll admit that this one was a VERY soft pick for me, but hey, nostalgia FTW as this is also one that I have definite memories of reading back in the day 😂 But Trixie really got on my nerves in this one! She was so whiny and impatient and OBSESSED with the ghost fish. Like - maybe other people had other things they want to do?? Also you're on vacation, so you could just let go of the whole “we HAVE to earn money for charity!!!“ thing for ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) like three days?! On the other hand, I really enjoyed the rest of the Bob-Whites, especially when Trixie tried to say that her first impressions of people are always right and Honey called her out on it 😂

Side note, where do you think Uncle Andrew gets all his money?? Because I don't feel like sheepherding in Iowa is THAT profitable!

I had mixed feelings about the whole ghost/amnesia/back from the dead aspect of this story. What did ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) you all think? And was Trixie actually annoying, or was I just in A Mood when I was reading this one? Any other thoughts?

I am still really enjoying these, and looking forward to The Blinking Eye this month - although apparently that one didn't have anything as memorable as eyeless fish, as I don't remember it at all! 😆

lauraisntwilder Trixie was annoying! 😆 I thought the ones right before this one were two of the better ones, so this one was almost jarring. 8h
DebinHawaii Trixie was pretty bad in this one. I just remember being fascinated by the ghost fish growing up & how scary the caves were (I‘ve always been claustrophobic) 😱 Funny about the next one. I remember Trixie gets a fortune & although I haven‘t picked it up in decades, I think it starts “Great headed man with blinking eye, a shaded road, a horse‘s cry…” I need to pull it off my shelf & check to be sure. Don‘t ask me how I can remember that! 🤣🤣🤣 6h
BookmarkTavern She was very focused! 😂😂 I think if there had been a more urgent need for the money, I wouldn‘t have found her attitude to be too much. And I feel like every long running mystery series needs at least one amnesia storyline. 😂 So at least we‘ve got that out of the way! 6h

Soft pick. I liked the grey area characters and all the questions Meyer asks. What would you do in these situations? There were some scenes, that really made me think. Still, I do prefer Meyer's fairy tale retellings. Those drew me in a lot more.

This book was filled with unbridled feminine rage and I was here for it for the most part. I will say though that it was a little emotionally exhausting by the end because that much rage is exhausting even when it's not your own.
