Alright, let’s try this again, 8 years later! 😂🙈

Finished part one! Will have to set this book aside for a bit to read a library book that’s on hold for someone else, but that shouldn’t take long. Cannot wait to get back to this!

Planned to read more today but an emergency vet trip seriously cut into that plan, so just a chapter it is. Won’t have much time for reading either for the next few days #sadface

I wish I knew enough about ships to be able to get even a vague idea of what’s going on on these things xD All the characters are currently on ships and whenever a battle happens I’m just so lost haha! They did just mention 3 moons, which I forgot about, so with a bit of luck I can cross off two prompts when I finish this!

And we’re finally moving on! Since this book is a slow read (I don’t know why, I just can’t rush through it like I do others. Seems to be a high fantasy thing?) I’ve only read one chapter at a time so far, but I hope to make some proper progress tomorrow!

The state of this book last night got worse and worse with each page I turned, so I am sending it back and getting a new one. In the meantime I’ll be reading something else!

Okay so the first chapter was absolutely brilliant. Loved it!

Just a shame the binding of this book isn’t fully intact. I’m scared to turn the pages in fear of them falling out. You’d expect better from a new book.
