Mehso-so

Fast paced and definitely a quick read. I just think the scant lack of detail irritated me. I enjoyed the cast of characters, I just wish there was more world building or it was fleshed out more.

For my first Bardugo, I get why she‘s so hyped.

Went to pick up my second Klune selection from my library and spied this on the New In shelf — I couldn‘t help myself.

I‘ve never read Bardugo before but I‘ve only heard good things. Plus it has spooky black sprayed edges! 😆🤩

Great end of the season beach day, much needed relaxing and reading before getting covered in all that soft sand from the warm ocean breeze.

More than anything else, this is a story about self discovery and learning what matters to them and what they are willing to risk to get it. It‘s gorgeously written but the pace is very, very slow. I loved how layered and flawed the characters were (especially the women). I loved the ending, although the last hour had me feeling so nervous about what was going to happen because *no one expects the Spanish Inquisition*.

This books contained magic, but never enough to seem unbelievable, ie royalty, wealth, and the Church are in absolute control. But greed will get ya! Well researched about the Inquisition and its horrors.

I head back to work tomorrow after more than a month off due to health issues. Very excited for things to get back to normal but I will miss all of the reading time. This was a highly anticipated read for me. I was really enjoying the writing and slow pace but found the ending so lackluster I had to go back to reread it to make sure it really was as disappointing as I first thought. A light pick verging on so-so.

Fleeing country after country being tossed from their ancestral homeland or escaping the Inquisition, Jews found peace in the New World but especially in #Jamaica. The island was given to the descendants of Christopher Columbus, who controlled the church—refusing to allow the Inquisition on their island. Given its naval position it was also the ideal place for those Jews who emulated notable Jewish European pirates. This is their remarkable ⬇️

Texreader history and story. The first chapters are a bit clunky and hard to follow because the author jumps around quite a bit and his writing style takes some adjustment. But once he gets into a sequential narrative during the Golden Age of Piracy, it‘s a smoother read. The facts are very interesting. #foodandlit 3mo

Came down for shift change over and my colleague asked me what was new?! And I said - got up to the kissing part in my book!! People seemed big mad about this relationship in the reviews - so looking forward to seeing how that works out… she was looking at me like 🤔 and I said - oh, did you mean like with work? ANYWAY 🤭
