bailedDNF 37%. I tried but it just drags. And I LOVE birds! 😭 I even switched to try audio which helped a little. The world made zero sense. It‘s an alternative 1890, women can be professors at Oxford and have helicopter parasols, but still need a male escort in public and a permit to wear pants. It became too painful to continue.
Because the future that lay before her would indeed be one of unity and peace, starting here, with those she loved. Anything they built on this foundation could only be good and true and right.
It could only be the stuff of dreams.

pickMy husband and I finished this one over the weekend. It took longer than usual because we took turns reading it to each other, but it was worth the wait. Another excellent book about Emily and Wendell! The plots in this series continue to get more and more complex. I‘d say this was three times more complex as the first one. So much happens in this one. I will definitely have to reread someday. Highly recommended!
pickThis was a fun read. It was an interesting take on what happened after happily ever after. Overall I enjoyed reading about Sleeping Beauty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of my more recent favorite series, each book delightful in its own way. I need more queer historical fantasy like this in my life ✨

so-soWell. I'm not quite sure what I think of this, ultimately. The bad guys here are Welsh, in the period of Brad y Llyfrau Gleision, and have established basically a little Welsh commune in medieval style. The daughter of a Victorian clergyman is the heroine (though her mother was Jewish, she is also very Anglican Christian). It all... reads badly. There isn't any outright outage I can quote, I'm just uncomfortable with all of it. 1/2
I'm fairly sure that the Welsh guy complaining of the way the English treat the Welsh is going to turn out to be the bad guy here, for all that his words are portrayed as sounding reasonable. I'm getting very very uncomfortable.
It's also definitely a look to have a Victorian clergyman's daughter visit Wales and complain about Welsh people not being religious, given Brad y Llyfrau Gleision was 1847.
Welp, a character just got announced as “Arthur, Prince of Gwynedd“, and... this is a definite choice. This might be where I depart from this series, depending on how things go. Who knows, maybe it'll be amazing and not weird about “Wild Wales“ (quote) in a book set in the Victorian period, but I'm bracing to be severely exoticised and, thanks, I hate it.
