Welcome to Litsy!

DNF- I was having trouble wanting to pick this up. I was excited to read about a dragon, and it does have the dragon, a wolf, a cat, a magician, and a strong woman with a past. Everything you could want, but there was mention of men‘s work, woman‘s work, and she is in hiding because maybe her husband who abused her? I went 100 pages in and it‘s just not grabbing my attention. As an inherited book it‘s time to let someone else enjoy it.

I love illustrations in books, however some of the pictures scattered throughout the book caused weird formatting where there would be a blank page before the next. There were also several editing errors and use of AI art that made me regretting the $65 I paid for this edition. The story itself was charming yet short, and I wished it had been a bit more fleshed out.

Catching up on reviews. 🤦‍♀️

A decent adventure story. Slow start, the ending is where all the action is. I loved the characters and their relationships. I‘ll pick up the next book someday.

Despite being the title and featuring on the cover, the wereanimal battle is about four pages max. 😒

This was one of my January picks for #Roll100.

Never posted my March stats - a low month because of family stuff (all fine, just busy!). But I've already read two books this month, so April is looking up! 😁

Here‘s my March roundup. Indian Horse was a clear favourite, read with the #OhCanada Book Club.

March was a great month for getting ahead in my challenges.

Bloodlands was my top read and I just bought Snyder‘s On Freedom which I‘m excited to dive into.

It seemed to last forever ( but shorter than January 🙏🏻) and it meant lots of books although none of them really from deep in my TBR 🤦🏻‍♀️

Final count for March!
