Doing a group reread of the series! The first book is a little slow but once you hit Prince's Gambit the story flies.

I adored these books! The first (Captive Prince) moved a little slow and was clearly a first book effort. Prince's Gambit and King's Rising were fast paced, great plot, and wonderful love story.

This will forever be me, hiding away from the world with a book and warm beverage.
Nothing like the power of a girl who reads. I will always come back to the cornerstone of my childhood. I bought 2 copies today. 1 for me and 1 for my nephew (I also got him The BFG)
Look, I didn't want to be a halfblood. If you are reading this because you think you might be, my advice is: close this book right now. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth and try to lead a normal life. Being a halfblood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways."
It's been a rough patch so I am going back to an old, comforting favorite.
You understand there is no such thing as a little death prophecy, right?
Samira al Abbas, Valkyrie daughter of Loki
So it took a bit to finish but this book is absolutely STELLAR. Another well written, diverse and educational story. I may or may not have started a countdown to its release and have definitely pre-ordered the next book. I can't say enough wonderful thing about this book. I ship Magnus and Alex so hard it hurts. And that would pretty firmly place Magnus in the pan category since Alex is nonbinary (and beautifully written at that).
I felt the need to do another badass Jess Drew mode. This time the mom mode!
so as some of you may have seen, yesterday Frank Cho posted a frankly disgusting grossly over sexualized image of Spiderwoman. My version of fighting back against the sexism is to draw Jess kicking ass and taking names. She is a badass, a mom, and deserves so much more than a sick old man drawing her in a suit so tight her labia stick out.
"I hope you're all pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed - or worse, expelled!"
Happy Halloween everyone!
I am doing Inktober this year and using the 31 witches prompt. Today's prompt was schoolgirl witch. There was only 1 way this could go.
So this series has become my absolutely favorite. Pierce Brown makes even the world building portion of this space dystopia interesting. The characters are multifaceted and grow throughout the series. (I own 3 copies of the first book, 2 print, 1 ebook. That is how much I love it)
