I absolutely loved this book for its family relationships and its portrayal of the world as diverse as it is. Wing is such a lovely and courageous protagonist you can't help but root for. Also some loving honourable mentions to the two grandmothers 😍🎉👍📚

What a whirlwind riveting ride of a novel. Elise hooked me once again with her characters and the fantastic world she has created. Can't wait for the next book!

This is still one of my absolute favourite adult fantasy trilogies. Such inventive magic systems and so satisfying both this book on its own and the whole trilogy arc. Also: how gorgeous is this 10th anniversary hardback version? 😍😍😍

This is such a beautifully interwoven story. The characters are supremely sassy and witty and I love the intrigue and the end: definitely need to read book 2 now!

Loved the blogger event for Krystal Sutherland's Our Chemical Hearts. Great first chapter reading and there were goodie bags and chats with lovely people 😊

yayeahyeah Yay, such a fab event! 8y
karenbultiauw @yayeahyeah indeed. Nice to (kind of with a wave from far away) meet you 😉 8y
yayeahyeah Same! Would be great to meet properly at some point. So impressed by you coming down so far for it, btw! 8y
karenbultiauw @yayeahyeah tbh it turned out to be much better to drive rather than stress over bus times. 😊 8y

A masterful continuation on the setup of Six of Crows featuring a ridiculously awesome crew of criminal misfits. Bardugo writes some of the most effervescent characters around. You will cry!
