Welcome to Litsy!

Super fun opening to a YA fantasy trilogy that somehow slipped under my radar when it first came out. Not to worry, I‘m making up for lost time! No sooner did I finish this story about the most powerful elemental mage in generations & the prince who needs her help if he is to avenge his family & take on a terrible tyrant, then I went & bought the sequel—I really enjoyed this one & am excited to continue the story.

Have you ever come across a book while reading about other books or writing or something book related & thought to yourself, “that sounds interesting” wondering how you missed it when it first came out & then you buy the book & start reading & get so excited about the first couple of chapters & the promise they hold for the entire book that you just have to post about it on Litsy (or tell everyone you know)? I have…😬😂 So far, this one‘s great!

Catching up

Finished my reread and it was once again amazing. I love the blending of the readability of romance and the scope of fantasy of this series. So much fun to read and the audiobook was awesome.

Currently rereading! This audiobook is great!

On the way to take my kids to their dad's. Still burning away.

After reading this YA fantasy romance by Sherry Thomas, I have only two questions. What genre can't Sherry Thomas master? And where are my Lady Sherlock books? The downside of organizing your book shelves is the realization that people are not returning your books. LOL
This is a wonderful adventure set in both Victorian England and a magical realm. The heroine is the prophesied elemental mage who will destroy the tyrant of Atlantis.

Wrapping up this book today and I've already got book 2 ready and waiting 😁

#HideAndSeek

It can be said that in most novels a certain level of hiding and seeking happens. It's what most plots are based on, hidden facts/motives/emotions/... and characters seeking information/certain feelings/the Holy Grail/... In fantasy novels, I find, there's even more "#HideAndSeek" to be found.

I've had this book out of the library for over a month and I finally crack it open to see it has footnotes...I just binge read 3 books in a single day on Tuesday. My brain is screaming at idea of this right now. 😭

New library book! I couldn't find the books I was looking for but this one seemed like it could be a good read.

I loved everything about this book. 100% of it. It was everything I wanted and more. I laughed out loud. I held my breath; my heart rate sped up. I cried a little. It was perfect for me. The characters are hilarious and compelling. Great pacing and worldbuilding.
5 star YA fantasy adventure!

I love a strong magic element. Fire Phoenix symbol on the cover? Sold.
