"*Bother me? I'd hardly noticed. This is about the alliance, Fitz, not about some girl and her ploys.* The sharpness of his retort betrayed his lie. I sighed to myself. Fifteen. All I could do was thank Eda that I'd never have to be that age again."

Same, Fitz

I'm curious about the Graphic Audio version now because as much as I like Michael Kramer and Kate Redding, it's stretching my credulity to have them voice young adults...

Library didn't have a copy so I had to acquire one. I appreciate Zahn's consistency across his books...

"Because really, how many cannibalistic giants can one Greek plausibly meet as he sails the open seas?"

You'd be surprised, Penelope

"For when we are cared for by someone, or when we care for someone, that is the beginning of the bond."

Chapter XI: Tidings from Bingtown

Ooh can't wait to see what my boat friends have been up to!

Just have Wizards left for classes, I think

I will confess to doing the "Klein, fine; Wolf, oof" Twitter litany when scrolling but I have read books by neither woman

Shhhh I'm a patreon reader who finally opened up the epub version (I was reading along through December, but then I see the partial version has chapter differences when I tried to switch, so just starting from the beginning again)

Guess the clone apple didn't fall far from the tree with the "I'm going to kidnap force sensitive children for training" idea...

Another from my TBR pile (and fulfills a "read your shelf" prompt in a storygraph challenge I'm doing for a weapon on the cover). Definitely the year for Iliad/Odyssey retellings

I did finish VotF, but I'll write my review during the day. Fascinated by this one already- it's expanded universe, but published in 2006 so after the prequel trilogy of films was released. Very curious to see how Zahn squares the wild clones of his original Thrawn trilogy with the canon clone wars!

I've felt this book is definitely contemporary/could be dated in the future, but the sbagliato reference is definitely a time and place on the Internet.

A little slow going for me because I'm book juggling, but I appreciate the Coyote Story as a framing device for Julian's family history

This is all very stressful but clearly the diaries survived for the author to read and write this narrative so I assume they live, but maaaaaan I am surprised they haven't died thus far

Hiiiiiiii Jeff's voice

A Lucky pick from the library so I gotta finish before it's due Friday...

Three more days of my Libby copy and can't renew so I gotta go fast (and for once not take over a month to finish a Hobb)

Reading for the Her Story category in seasonal challenges (and also because I've had an ARC from a local bookstore forever so another shelf read

I keep thinking about other Greek retellings as we go through this- Pasiphäe naming the minotaur Astarion reminds me of the Hades video game, men being turned to pigs reminds me of the more age appropriate version in Percy Jackson as a guinea pig, etc.

The prose is really nice too.

I do like that we're catching up on we're Fitz has been doing for the past fifteen years

My pick this month for reading my shelf

👀 confirmation of an explicit link between Liveship Traders and the Farseer stuff (had suspicions, but wasn't sure exactly of the linkage)

So he gestured towards his iPad. "*Fast Five*. Have you seen it?"
"Yeah. I think so. Is that the one with the bank safe chase scene?"
"Yes. Is the best one."

I adore how much Ilya cares for his teammates and also this is the correct opinion re the Fast & the Furious movies.

Oops these are really inhalable

A little late in starting, but eager to get back into this duology since the first half really did feel like half a book
