Really wanted to read this.

Also, City of Brass & Priory of the Orange Tree, one fine day.

Anyhow, the synopsis sounds delightful!

If this all goes well and finishes on a good note...

idk, I'll rip my heart out.

Am sick of everything going to plan and only minor inconveniences, and I know that this author has it in her to do better plot twists.

I don't want to, but I'm persisting. I don't trust myself to begin something simultaneously.

Next 5:

(I've got like 20 additional GR tabs open with my next reads, so I'm sticking now to the plot)

- The Stardust Thief - Chelsea Abdullah
- A Dance with the Fae Prince - Elise Kova
- Don't Let the Forest In - C.G. Drews
- Thorn - Terra Harmony
- The Good Hawk - Joseph Elliott

These are very much anticipated reads for me (apart from maybe Thorn).

Technically, you can't really speed-read this series or read them in one sitting. There aren't feelings to analyse, but some information needs to sit with you. This isn't like The Artefacts of Ouranos, where you could just guess the ending (seeing as this quartet is also more NA than YA in form).

“Zarya,” he said, his voice filled with an authority that reminded her he was used to commanding an army of thousands. “Sit.”
Her legs melted out from under her as she collapsed onto the rock.
Dammit. How did he do that?
He surprised her by dropping to his knees.
“I wasn’t done apologizing,” he said. “In fact, I’d barely started.”

“I want to kiss you,” he said. “Tell me you want it, too.”
“Absolutely not.”
The smile on his face spread into a feral grin.
“Is that how it’s going to be, Spitfire?”

Crossing her arms, she leaned back in her chair, staring at Rabin. He was now intensely interested in his food, mopping a piece of roti through a pool of gravy over and over again like he was trying to punish it for existing in his presence.
“I think it’s got enough sauce on it,” Zarya said, arching her neck to peer at his plate and squinting like she was having trouble seeing it.

I take my laptop everywhere with me, cause it has all my books on it lol

(I mean, to the garden in Summertime, and when I travel)

A pet peeve of mine is when people don't try to plan ahead and don't think about possible consequences.

Reading some older books currently, might go into the new releases later this year, or next year. Rn, I'm trying to conquer my immediate TBR :)

This is a nice Fantasy series.
There was a part in the beginning that I didn't like (will explain when I finish reading in the review).

So far, it's good, but I believe it could be better with some included anxiety and anticipation of events.

My two cents, anyway.

Needed to update, due to too much sleep, and my absence.

Was kind of asleep since Monday-Tuesday, then since yesterday evening, oops.

Thump. Thump. Thump.
What was that?

lol

People: Rate a book 1-2 stars

Me: Here, have 3,5 stars and all the accolades

lol, sry everyone

I need to update often, or else I don't feel like reading.

400 pages lol

As I fell asleep midway through the second-to-last chapter yesterday, I will therefore finish this book tonight.

Will I finish the book, or will the book finish me?

Lore sighed. “Can I help you? Or did you just come to stare?”

Deviating off my TBR & reading this ahead of time.

I sometimes feel like picking up Historical Fiction, but I just cannot go without some magic, adventure, action and excitement.

Darn, I feel like I need to begin another book midway through once again, but know that that's never gonna happen: me reading multiple books at once.

I like nice chapter header art.

I like chapter titles as well as numbers.

I like a different font at the beginning of a chapter and a giant first letter.

I like chapter dividers.

I don't care if it's first or third-person narration. (3rd is better obvs)

I like surprise artwork in my ebooks.

I don't care if they're short or long chapters. Just not long ones, 5 chapters before the end.
