It already has a cozy and magical air about it...I'm here for it.

Intrigued. I like that I'm just dropped into a moment in her life and am waiting to understand more. She feels very light and airy. Like how it feels so far.

I'm liking it. it moves along nicely and has good twists. Cozy.

I had to put The Concubine down to read this one. Books don't often snatch me up in the first 20 pages but this one has. I'm curious to see where it goes. So far it moves very nicely. Already a twist. fun.

It's been sooo so long since i've read a book with period accents. It's wordy, harsh and sometimes confusing .....but once you sink in, it starts to flow with ease, meaning....and drama. How does the old english accents in written word feel like drama?! haha it's like I'm watching a movie. Very cool sensation. This writer was very committed in 1963. I think that's why I can't stop reading it.

Rather cozy...adult level...easy reading. Not sure I'm excited for the 2nd book but curious. The drama of historical times is sometimes intriguing. Easy. It calms my nerves to read it.

I found this book at the thrift store for $1.99....opened the first page and the writing style felt so somber I had to get it. This inner monologue felt so filled with drama and story already in progress that it drew me in. I don't normally read 2 books at once...unless an audiobook but I'm intrigued. She initially scrambled me with back story and the flourish of her period language....but it is focusing in now.

It's alright....I kinda resent reading about political stuff because it's boring but its moving along decently and it's how she differentiates the timelines. It's so easy to read that I easily go passed my 10 pages a day...which is surprising to me. It's rare that I get on a groove with a book, (beloved ACOTAR!) so something must be working

DNF

The book feels stalled out...or maybe I made the mistake of watching the tv version which moves so much faster....that it ruined the book for me. I'm almost done with it......It may end up in my DNF pile.....;( I hate to lose book momentum.

I made the mistake of watching the series while I am reading the book....only to get a heartbreaking spoiler. I like that the story has been told in 2 different ways....so the book might surprise me in another way.
Still loving the ease of reading it. It moves along nicely...although the drama and twists of the show were more fun.

The adventure continues and I love it. like water.

Such a layered and interesting story. fun

I have found a new favorite author. I heard people complain that the store owner is just grumpy but he's conveyed with such nuance and care. I really love her style.

Ohh, I spoke too soon. I'm going to love reading all Alix's books.

I am trying to love it but...I really don't like the turn the author made in this section. It kinda feels like the power shifted in a way I find so annoying. Oh well. Such is life.

Not into it these days. I read the first 3 books almost 20 years ago and they were life changing. Revelations and openings on every lovely page so out of respect, I will keep picking it up to see if maybe I get put back in touch with something that I didn't know had fallen away.

Its moving along fine. Lots of characters joined right away with back story. It's a good read.

I like how serious the main character is. I've heard others complaining about his attitude but once you read the story, you will understand more. He also feels a little high brow....thats kind of annoying. I'm not connecting with his bitter rants...but maybe that is meant to show who he is as a person rather than for me to agree or disagree with his snobbiness. I'm intrigued soooo, moving on!

I love Woman, Goddess, Mother, Lovers, Healers and Femmes but I've been there-done that with speaking the template of the partriarchy. I know what it is and how it has shaped us. I cant give further attention to it. I'm into the next stages of living the new ways of love, compassion and unity.

But if someone is New she may find a grounded and empowering foundation in Garcia's story.
