Masquerade | Laura Lam

My #bookspin book. (Note to self: write the numbers down! I have to comb the past posts every month to remember which book was which.)

A kind of disappointing end to the trilogy. I felt the author was trying to cram too much plot in while leaving a lot of questions unexplored. And the prose was oddly flat and unexciting for such an action-packed story.

Some aspects of how things worked out seemed a little too easy, but overall it's a very satisfying ending. I tore through 300 pages during my Eurostar trip today. Love Drystan, and love that what happened with him didn't turn out as expected. I just adore the relationship between him and Micah, and the feeling that they will make it together because when things are bad, they turn to each other, not away.

And we're off. I'll be with my parents in around six hours. They are not aware of my new hair colour... ???

Seat mate wants to know if I really need "That huge pile". Uh, yes! (Sorry. Playing with stickers a lot lately.)

I think I will start with Masquerade though; I really do want to know how things turn out, even if I'm dreading the obvious plot twist with Drsytan.

When i pick it up, I tear through it. I just also get distracted -- like today I made this for my wife, with the note "You won The Knitting Bee!"

I even learned to knit (I crochet) in pursuance of this joke.

llwheeler Ahhh so cute! 7y
PenguinInFlight THIS IS SO CUTE! 😍My mother and sister both crochet and sew beautifully, and my mom knits as well. I‘ve tried all 3 and end up with tangled messes. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️I envy anyone with the patience to do this, because I definitely don‘t have it. ☺️ 7y
shanaqui @llwheeler Thanks! 7y
shanaqui @PenguinInFlight I made a mess of it when I first learned to crochet, but if you do anything enough you usually get good at it, haha! Thank you. ☺ 7y

A lovely ending to the Micah Grey trilogy. This series had some great world building, and I'd love for Laura Lam to revisit this universe again one day.
