pickNot as much fun at the first two, but introduced a lot of new and interesting characters as well as real politic into this fantasy world at war.
The 4th eldest sister tries to be recognized as an adult and makes some stupid decisions while trying to help her sister the queen build an alliance with two other queens who might bring blood and war to their doorstep.
3/5 read for dragons as well as centaurs but less bloody battles
pickSai has grown up with a conman for a father, but her apprenticeship with a mapmaker gives her a chance to board a ship and explore a new land. A Newbery award winner, the story focuses on looking past first impressions and being willing to stand up for what's right. It also delves into family loyalty and the importance of love over power. A perfect read with my middle-grade kiddo and a fun adventure story for anyone!
I almost forgot to finish my #2025readingbracket
The tagged book ended up being my favorite read for this bracket! I‘m currently reading the sequel.
pickWhat a delightful little book about dragons!
This book gives a short overview of dragons from around the world. It primarily focuses on dragon lore from ancient Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean, Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. It also briefly addresses dragons from other regions like Africa and the Americas.

pickI finished Fourth Wing today.
Dragon riding school. Confusing politics. Interesting characters. A good amount of spice. And the last page?
WOW. I‘m impressed!

June‘s pick is Naomi Novik‘s collection of short stories! From an atmospheric dark fairy tale, to the short story that eventually became Spinning Silver, to Dragon Rider Elizabeth Bennet, there was not a single miss in this collection for me!
