It took me a while to get into this book (I was working too much) and it didn‘t draw me in right away. Very wordy! Lots of big words that would piss my husband off lol. Then it turned into a Stephen King horror and I really enjoyed it.
The lovely bush behind the book is called “Karen Azalea,” so beautiful when it blooms.

TheBookHippie Love the pretty flowers! 1w

I awoke to this view of May‘s flower moon out my backyard screen door & it inspired today‘s haiku:

Before Sunrise:

The full flower moon
Bathes the world in twilight hues
Beckons through the screen

Well this was a lovely surprise! I really enjoyed this magical fantasy book. It is fresh and complex and has multiple layers. It deals with many issues including racism, misogyny, colonisation, faith and morality. Very well done! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

LeeRHarry Good to know, it‘s been on my radar for a while and your review makes me even more keen to pick it up. 😊 (edited) 1mo

Blood over Bright Haven, by M.L. Wang (2024)

Premise: An ambitious young woman has staked everyone on becoming her society‘s first female high mage, but soon discovers a horrific secret underlying everything she thought she knew.

Review: This is a chilling book, all the more for the way it is all too reminiscent of our own world and the comfortable lies we tell ourselves to hide from inconvenient truths.
Cont

Mattsbookaday Bookish Pair: For another great recent fantasy that constructs new archetypes even as it deconstructs the old, Lev Grossman‘s The Bright Sword (2024).

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This maybe in your fantasy , dystopian sci fi section at your local bookstore but after a slow start it spookily rings true “ because good people can turn desperate when the horrors are upon them,especially people whose culture of plenty had left them with no systems to cope with scarcity or cataclysm “

I could not put this down. So good, and honestly so many layers, this would be a fun one to dissect with a book club. The way that Sciona grew from the start of the book through the end was just brilliant. & it really hit on the biggest obstacles trying to combat social Justice/societal issues & did it in a way that was very organic & heartfelt to the story.

Areader2 Isn‘t it funny how we view books differently, this was a so so for me 2mo
5feet.of.fury @Areader2 I actually expected not to like it because a lot of the reviews were like “todays political climate…etc” and I have enough of the political climate in reality but my library hold finally came in. I was hooked from the first page! I felt Sciona‘s revelations were realistic for someone with her perspective so her not getting it right away felt real. But yeah, it‘ll probably end up 1 of my faves of the year! 2mo
Areader2 @5feet.of.fury the growth of Sciona and the last part of the book for me was the best part, I am glad you enjoyed it! 2mo
