Told from 1st person POV. Aurora has a memory from someone else‘s pov of when she was captured as a toddler. 1/3 of the way in. Starts off well but now is losing its polish; things are left unexplained, it‘s started jumping between events leaving gaps and the tone is a bit young.
In 2119 she lives in a domed institute where they train to be Young Enforcers of sunset curfew in the city of Vencen. Magic is abhored & has been stamped out

humouress At 16 she‘s just moved to the adult section. Some of them are betrothed so they get interconnected rooms and are paired or duties and marry when they leave at 30 but if they do anything before that they‘re sent to prison for 30 years and any baby is taken by the institute 2w
humouress It‘s a lot like ‘Fourth Wing‘ but without the dragons or (thankfully) the explicitness. Ch 10; starting to get intriguing (edited) 2w
humouress Aagh! Ends just as it gets going. Wish I had the next book to see where it goes. 2w

3/5⭐ If you're going to read this book, I recommend that you already be familiar with magical theories and practices so you can better parse the context of what the author says, take the useful parts, and discard the problematic ones. #roll100

This book wasn‘t what I expected, which isn‘t its fault, but I did feel that it lacked depth. I read it out of order because I got it late, with Samhain and Yule last; it turned out to not make sense to read it in the wrong year since there is an article for each holiday with the astrological correspondences, but I rarely use those anyway. I did get a few interesting ideas for rituals and crafts, so it was worth my time to read.

Clare-Dragonfly I didn‘t deliberately set out to finish a bunch of books today, including ones I‘ve been working on for a long time, but I‘m pleased that it turned out that way! 😄 3mo

Thanks to @willaful for posting about this one. It‘s out of print (and used copies will run you about a hundred bucks,) but a digitized copy is available to borrow on Open Library.
It‘s a delightful book, and should not be lost to the whims of waning popularity and the ravages of time on physical objects.

Ruthiella I‘ve not read this, but I wish I were immensely wealthy so I could fund a revival of bringing these older children‘s books back in print. Maybe with Levar Burton helping with publicity. 😍 5mo
Aimeesue @Ruthiella oh, wouldn‘t that be fabulous? Even if in ebook form initially, like Furrowed Middlebrow. 5mo
Ruthiella Well, because this is my fantasy, I publish them all in hardcover, with the original illustrations and covers. 🤩 (edited) 5mo

Aimeesue @Ruthiella I will buy them ALL! 😍 5mo
Ruthiella @Aimeesue I want to start with the Melendy family books by Elizabeth Enright..though they are actually still in print, I think 5mo
Aimeesue @Ruthiella I‘ve never read them! I looked them up and they are still in print and sound WONDERFUL! 5mo
