Midnight Jewel | 
pickI had enjoyed the story of "The Glittering Court" and was excited for this read. Mira seemed like the most interesting character and I knew that her story would be great. And it was- eventually. The story takes place during the same events of "The Glittering Court" and some of the beginning dragged when I already knew what happened. However, since we hit the girls get on the boat, the two characters are separated and Mira finally gets her story.
pickMan these books are frustrating...but I LOVE the characters. There is so much grow with each character, and I genuinely cheer them on throughout the story. But...the pacing is so weird! I get what Mead is doing, three books each from the perspective of one of three young women, all on the same timeline. But something still doesn‘t quite work for me even now after reading the second. I suppose I‘ll have to@read the next one then! 😂🤦🏻♀️♥️
A book that starts with M: Midnight Jewel. I‘m a bit behind posting that as I have already read a chunk outta this. Midnight Jewel is the second book in the Glittering Court series. I enjoyed the first book but had issues with the pacing. However each book in the series is written from a different POV which is cool...but I was looking for the next books to fill the holes. So far the pacing on this book is even worse
pickMira is a member of the Glittering Court by day, and works as both a spy and a pirate by night. So adventurous! I liked this one just slightly less than the first, mostly because it is missing the time spent in the frontier part of this big world. This story runs parallel in time to the first book, which is really cool as it not only tells Mira‘s story but adds new info to some of what I already knew from the first book. Audio is really great.
My current audiobook! Second in the Glittering Court series, I read/listened to the first book (👇🏻) last week and loved it. Features a different character, so it‘s a companion story. Instead of picking up after the first book, it runs parallel to the first story. Which is very cool. Definitely not a rehashing of the first book, which is always a worry with a series structure like this. Enjoying it so much!
Slowly making my way through Midnight Jewel. Just over half way and really wanting to finish it. Doesn't help I keep getting distracted by films 🙂
pickFirst audiobook of 2018 complete ✔
I started this series last year, and since I'm declaring 2018 as "the year of finishing the things" (i.e. all the series' I started, and then never got back to...) I thought this would be a great place to start.
It's fun, and has some exciting moments - a good way to ease into the new year. #LitsyAtoZ
so-soI enjoyed this one but felt like I had to read it simultaneously with a reread of The Glittering Court to see connections and remember what all had happened. I found it strange that this happens parallel to The Glittering Court rather than as a sequel but I think I liked Mira's story in this book more than Adelaide's in the first.
so-soStill not sure how I feel about this one. It was a little confusing, and a little all over the place, but it had some great themes....... 🤷♀️
Audiobooks are essential to #readathon success. So of course we've got some great audio prizes thanks to @penguinrandomhouse and Listening Library. Have you signed up yet? What audiobooks are you planning on listening to next weekend? #24in48
Mira, of the Glittering Court, is a war refugee fighting injustice her own way. Learning fancy etiquette by day and donning a mask at night to fight evil and corruption with none the wiser. She is my #CleverGirl
I'm really looking forward to this one!! Thanks to Penguin Teen for sending it!!!
This gorgeous lady will forever be one of my favourite authors. I don't think it's fair to other authors just how well *and* how much she writes. I've yet to read a book of hers I haven't REALLY enjoyed, and I've read a *lot* of her books. If you've never read a Richelle Mead book, ask me for suggestions! She writes young adult & adult books, mostly urban fantasy. ✌🏻📚
I was sent a copy of Midnight Jewel from Penguin Random House New Zealand to review. I still haven't read The Glittering Court but it will definitely be my next read.
Who's read The Glittering Court??
Today for #waitingonwednesday I'm featuring #RichelleMead 's #MidnightJewel 😍 Have you guys read #TheGlitteringCourt yet?
I was really hesitant about this book near the beginning (it was a tad slow) but now I love this vigilante twist to the story! Also what a wonderful ship to root for! Definitely check out this book.
