Throwback to yesterday, when I didn‘t want to put QUEEN OF THE DARKNESS down long enough to take a proper picture with Casey, let alone post about it. This series is far from flawless, but I love the characters and the vibe so much that I can work past the bits that stick in my teeth (like all the gender essentialism and the alpha male bullshit). This reread has especially confirmed Surreal as my Black Jewels MVP.

TorieStorieS Oh I have been meaning to give these a reread!! And such an adorable model!! 1w
xicanti @TorieStorieS it‘s been fifteen years for me and I didn‘t expect to still love them this much! 1w
TorieStorieS I think it‘s been almost that long for me, too! Plus there are new ones in the series now that I have but haven‘t even cracked open yet!! 1w

I‘m babysitting sweet Wesley and his brothers tonight, and I‘ve reread a big chunk of HEIR TO THE SHADOWS in between play sessions. It‘s clicked for me that the reason these books are so readable and compelling, despite the dodgy bits, is how well Anne Bishop nails that all-important balance between the mythic and the personal. These characters are PEOPLE first, no matter what dark magics or ancient social orders govern their lives.

Daughter of the Blood | Anne Bishop

The latest stop on my very slow early 2000s rereads tour. DAUGHTER OF THE BLOOD and its sequels completely entranced me back in 2009, but I didn‘t expect I‘d feel the same here in 2024 because of Bishop‘s squickier worldbuilding choices. Wrong. There‘s some questionable stuff, yeah (like the virginity thing; ICK), but the world‘s fascinating even if it‘s not always admirable, and I still love the characters. I‘m annoyed I can‘t just read all day.

I love to revisit a favorite series. Even though the stories may not be amazing, I enjoy spending more time with the characters and in the world the author created.

Number 12 in the series. It seems to carry on from the last book. All my favorite characters are here with the new generation coming into play. Not an dramatic book with no fights or wars, just teens coming into their own with famous parents.#SeriesLove23 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView Almost a chunkster #ChunskterChallenge2023 @Amiable #RushAthonReadingChallenge @DieAReader @Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES #ISpyBingo @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

I have not been liking these latest three books. I want to go back and reread the original trilogy now, forget this exists. 🤨
