I just started this audiobook, and I'm already hooked.

Mehso-so

Didn‘t want this one as much as book one. I think it focused more on the relationship between the two main characters which isn‘t a bad thing but it kind of distracted from what I liked about the series in the first place. Not a bad one just not quite as good as book one

This was a lot of fun to get into as an anime fan. It blends classic anime action with great historical commentary. Also has some well written characters that make for a compelling cast to fallow

When I'm freaking out about reality, and my current read takes me to the one magical place that always feels safe and cozy...a bookstore 📚💝.

My previous book review was long because I didn't keep up with my posts as I read...I will try to do better.

Not thrilled about the threat to Kasaqua's life if Anequs fails.

I expected a world ruled by Vikings to be a little different...

Loving the steampunk vibes!

Like most, I also read in a variety of ways, whether it be on a Kindle, Audiobook, or a physical book. I find no issue with any. I also think the popularization of writing platforms encourages more reading and creative writing, and a evolutionary develop for the love of literature. I love to give students creative writing prompts, and I think these platforms would be a good outlet for students who want to write and read on their own time.

Loved this just like every other Kalynn Bayron book I've read. The villain is fantastic! My only complaint is I would have liked to spend more time in the creepy sentient castle of the Knight.

LeeRHarry That‘s good to know - I‘ve enjoyed her other books that I have read too. 😊 5h

By far one of my favorite parts of the book is how the stories all combined towards the end. The way that Roberto ends up being the author of the challenged book, and Mr. Howe is his childhood best friend and first love, warmed my heart. Also the constant advocation for the fact that a book incorporating gay characters is not a bad thing. Whether the characters in The Adventurers were gay or not did not matter, and only that students felt seen.

I absolutely loved the story as a whole and would love to use it in a classroom to introduce students to real life situations. I think it would not only be a good way to demonstrate to students taking action for things they care about can produce results as opposed to giving up, but also as a mentor texts of creating a variety of POVs that interconnect with one another.

I absolutely loved this book. I think that its take on book censorship is presented in a real but very appropriate way makes it a great pick for young readers! Readers can learn about different life experiences, challenges, and ideas in 165 pages making it a pick!

#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 1 Ch.34-36: so we‘re down to 5 Champions and most of them have been gruesomely killed - but I feel as though that has been glossed over. Each death is just mentioned in passing. And while Celaena is worried, I feel as though there should be a bit more being done around the castle. Maybe having a masked ball isn‘t the best idea. ⬇️

StayCurious As Celaena mentions- it would make a good place to unleash the beast. Do we think it is Nehemia behind the killings? She is acting strangely. 5h
mcctrish Despite reading this before I remember nothing - Nehemia is acting strangely and has been using Celeana AND she knows what wyrdmarks are/mean. I can‘t believe she‘s behind the gruesome disemboweling. I think the weird black rings are so Perrington/Cain are somehow. Or it‘s the King somehow. Today is my last day of school so maybe I will just read to the end 😆 5h
LiseWorks I was surprised by Nehemiah. I didn't expect thar at all. I'm starting to like the prince. 4h
Roary47 Like @mcctrish I‘ve read this and I remember nothing about what happened. Nehemia is definitely hiding something, but until her people were slaughtered did she really have that much of a vengeance? It seems this king is on the bad side of a lot of neighboring communities so it could be anyone. I also am starting to like the prince @LiseWorks I mean he gave her a puppy! 🐶😍 He‘s so awkward around her it‘s so cute. 🥰💛 (edited) 4h
