Pretty good so far!

There's just nothing like The Hobbit for a fall tale <3

Suprisingly, this book has grown on me.

So far, so good...

Not entirely sure how I feel about this right now because I don’t full understand the world building, the Italian names are throwing me for a loop, and I don’t really feel I can root for any character except Gianpolo. But I’m not going to dnf because things are still very interesting, and the romance is fun.

“I’m probably wrong for saying this, but I thought it was awesome, and I’m glad you hit him. Guys don’t seem to defend a lady’s honor any more these days.”

I’m with Alex on this one lol.

“‘What true strength can there be in a power that blinds, that demands death?’ I whisper.”

YES.

I’m enjoying this book so much.

Mild spoiler:

“‘Unfortunately. I heard they passed a few months ago but, due to the unrest still plaguing our land, I believe Lord and Lady Alishon delayed letting the people know. An intelligent decision, in my opinion.’
And a sinister one in Loren’s.”

Yeah, hiding the king and queen’s deaths for several months should raise lots of flags.

“I had not seen that in my effort to give him perfection I had blinded him from the need for salvation. What thought for God had he save that it be his father’s religion? And when”—his voice curled with disgust—“has religion ever saved a soul?”

Oh my word 😭

Mild spoiler:

“You think I have had seventy years to change my mind? I have had seventy years to realize why I cannot! I’ll never read the Moonscript and your plan will never succeed.” Out of breath, Errance lifted his face and looked the Voice directly in the eyes. “Not on my life.”

ERRANCE YES 😭

“Of course it was,” she said, arching her neck and glancing back with a fanged grin. “Freedom is terrifying.”


I love this wise, terrible creature that is The Daisha 😂

“So you’ve escaped. How? After all this time, how?”
“The sewers were my idea,” Kelm offered.
“We nearly drowned in the river,” Tellie recalled with a shiver.
“I met them in the forest,” Tryss said.
“I tripped him in the street,” Zizain added helpfully.

This just makes me giggle lol.

Errance, he's been through so much 😭

I've heard a lot of good things about this series. So we'll see...

Treebeard <3

This seems fun thus far...

I didn't realize this was like, a standalone sequel of sorts to When Twilight Breaks, but it works out lol.

Spoiler:



Sam being like "It was a log with eyes!" And then yes, it turns out it was a log with "eyes" aka Gollum XD And Aragorn just casually knowing that Gollum has been trailing them since Moria lol.

I have binge read this book over the last three days, it's SO GOOD and absolutely HEART BREAKING. I sense that there are threads here, weaving together subtly... I'm scared for the climax lol. But I suspect these threads won't reach their full potential until the third and final book.

I feel so much for Sam, having to leave Bill behind 😭
