Welcome to Litsy!

Second in the series, and I like it even better than the last. It's a funny contradiction of a book-- I'm more into these characters, but that means I'm more anxious about the well-established stakes. every time I think I have figured out some twist, the novel skips right over the moment where there should be a big reveal? And proceeds on as if it was always fact. Rigid gender categories, yet interesting gender and racial Dynamics. XD B+ I think.

This book is Very Long. The world and the dynamics are Fascinating however. I don't know that I can stick out another one right after-- it'll depend on how this one ends... But it's absolutely Anxiety inducing. This is probably the most anxiety inducing book I've read in a long time, and there are a couple of characters who are just pits of anxiety, and it is reflected very well in the prose and I'm not sure I like that. XD

Finally starting book 2, trying to get back on the reading train to hit my goals this year.

Happy Beltane everyone!

There are definitely parts of this story that bother me (the slavery, the card games, the ridiculous good timing the characters seem to have) but overall, it‘s very enjoyable. The audiobook is amazing. I could listen to this narrator read an ingredients list. Onward to book three.

Listening to people play a card game is way less interesting than actually playing a card game. Now I know how my Mom felt when I would give her summaries of my Magic the Gathering games.

Onward to book two of The Lightbringer series. The audiobooks are so well done but I‘ll be honest, I‘m really getting my magic systems confused by listening to this at day and reading WoT at night.

Also, Kipp is the best and I like him a lot.

Holy barcelony.

I don‘t think I‘ve ever read a series that‘s had me along by the nose hairs like this.
I liked Night Angel, but Lightbringer is a whole new league.

Just saying.

Fast-paced, sharp-witted, sassy, emotional - arousingly brilliant it is.

This is the second book in the #Lightbringer series, an epic fantasy tale set in the Seven Satrapies, a world of light-based magic called chromaturgy. It‘s a story of family, politics, religion, war and finding one‘s place in the world, and it‘s RIDDLED with sass💜
