Edit: This series has the weirdest understandings of biology... What do you get when you cross and elf and a giant ant? A purple cat. What does a young dragon look like? A horse. 😅Review at 30% read --

"I really loved this book - despite the start and end dates I read 90% of it in about three days. So fun to dip my toes back into fantasy.
I think the dragon could’ve been a bit more fleshed out - felt like we were checking the box for romantic intere" Read more of this review » |

| Great fantasy; problematically difficult to put down. Almost a 5-star book for uniqueness, but there was an ick factor in the central romance and some unresolved questions at the end that dropped it to a 4. The plot progresses a long way from the bac ...more | |

| 3.5* Overall this is a very engaging serial killer murder mystery novel, and seems to actually accurately follow American police codes and policies. However a) it doesn't feel well structured in that you keep jumping back in time again and again, and ...more | |

| I've only read one Lynley book before (and it wasn't the previous one), but this was much worse. There were just so many bad messages and toxic characters portrayed as good. It was full of abusive and manipulative "good" women characters, as well as ...more | |

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”

“But that’s the magic of alone time! You are completely and 100 percent in control of your own happiness. You can imagine anything you want, transforming a bad mood into a good one. Or maybe you want to feel the bad mood fully, in which case you can cry all you want, and nobody can judge you. When you’re alone, there’s no pressure to be someone you’re not. For a while I actually used to need time alone in order to remember who I was. When we’re constantly surrounded by people—especially toxic influences—it becomes really easy to forget ourselves. We get caught up in drama, gossip, and negativity.”
