Back on my murder books, Jessica

Picked this up because I love Little Women not realizing it was YA. I typically don’t vibe with YA writing but so far so good here!

They are perfectly at ease with doing the wrong things for centuries and then expect congratulations for doing the right thing for a moment.

Memories live here and there in the body. But they’re invisible aren’t they? And no matter how wonderful the memory, it vanishes if you leave it alone, if no one pays attention to it.

Making my way through all of T Kingfisher’s books!

Only 50 pages in but wow this book packs a punch. Closing this book for the night and thinking about world building. We typically see world building commentary around fantasy books. Often those books are 500+ pages. I don’t think you need talent to build a world within that many pages. But man to have me feeling like I’m a part of this church in Mississippi in only 50 pages is some serious talent.

If Roxanne Gay gives 5 stars you know I’m going to read it

Talking plants are more my speed

Jessica suckered me into this one bc of the gargoyle

Okay this has the jovial vibes of Dungeon Crawler Carl within the (less sinister) context of Westworld and I love it

Have had this one on deck for a while!

Okay see this is why I prefer mature FMC. 18 year olds act like 18 year olds. I can’t think she’s a badass when she opens her mouth to show him a maw full of food

Nothung! We couldn’t have come up with a better name for a sword?

Magic assassin at only age 18? I was still rippin cigs and clubbing. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Starting strong with a good map

I love the gnole creatures in the paladin stories

T. Kingfisher can do no wrong

I didn’t read the synopsis and thought this would be a thriller for some reason? It’s not. It is a captivating family saga and I’m pleasantly surprised. I’m not usually fond of the family dramas.

Look for me in newborn kittens? Really? Ugh. Vomit. She’s a sad sack and I’m over it.

She is determined to make herself a martyr and I’m kind of over it

Jessica I am sorry to say I think she’s being a brat and most of this book could have been solved if she would have just talked

If they have a fire why is she taking an ice cold bath? Do yall know you can heat water over a fire?

Book 1 guy called her darlin too much. Book 2 guy calling her freckles too much

Actually liking this one

This one is for you Jessica!
