Cassiel's Servant (Kushiel's Legacy, #1.5) | Jacqueline Carey

pick

So I will always love the original books that this is based on, and I was excited to hear that his perspective had come out as an independent story. It added a nuance to the tale that I otherwise would not have gotten. For that alone, this is a solid pick. I do however implore the potential reader to read her perspective first. Starting with Kushiel‘s Dart. #recentlyread #companionbook #romance #fantasy #alternateuniverse

I‘m finding this too esoteric. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

PuddleJumper I didn't know he wrote longer form poems. I enjoy his other works, I'll have to look out for this 2y

dabbe Sometimes those modernists really wanted to make things difficult for the reader. I love challenging works, but I don't like challenging works just for the sake of showing me how brilliant you are. (not that I know WH is doing this here, but that's usually when I bail on a modernist piece of literature). 2y

IndoorDame @dabbe it might be me not WH, but the whole time I was reading I kept thinking I just read The vTempest and I still feel like I need the benefit of a college lecture to get this. Not worth it… 2y

dabbe @IndoorDame Well, that's another thing we have in common (sort of). I tried to read WH and couldn't even get past a few pieces. And my feelings why are the same as yours. And now that I'm (ahem) older, life is short, and I want to enjoy what I read and be challenged but not necessarily oh-good-lord-not-another-plea-to-have-our-book-club-read-Ulysses challenged. That was fun to write. 😊 2y

IndoorDame @dabbe haha I‘m with you there! Challenged is good. But I have yet to hear anything about Ulysses that makes me even slightly tempted to tackle it 2y

March has not yet been a good reading month, I seem to never find the time! I did manage to squeeze in some minutes today but again not as much as I‘d wish for… my hopes are high for the next weekend though😅
This one is a nice in between read if you enjoy the other books in the peculiar children series 🤗

Carols and Chaos | Cindy Anstey

Love this fun Christmas story! There's a slight air of mystery to it. Apparently, this is the 2nd book in the series but from what I can tell the story lines are separate.
