Welcome to Litsy!

Book 4 in the series. The conflicts between the Others and the HFL continue and decisions will be taken by both sides. The outcome? you need to read it. Meg will learn another way to reveal her prophesies. Are we seeing some romance coming soon? Book was for me a little slow, first 230 pages were discussing strategies. I appreciate that the author is always giving a summary of previous books in a well integrated manner. 3.8⭐️

This book is were a lot of the previous storylines begin to come together and the characters begin to see how the most dangerous and wildest others are going to begin to protect themselves from the humans seeking to destroy them. (Cont. ⬇️)

Great book! This is the 4th book in The Others series and I have enjoyed them all. Some major changes to the world come at the end of this one. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the next one to see how communities will continue after everything that has happened.

Hoping to finish this book this weekend. Things are starting to heat up in this one. I have a feeling something bad is about to happen!

"But what if things they considered more necessary suddenly couldn't be purchased? Things like food and clothes and, gods, even something as basic as toilet paper?"

Sounds a bit familiar, doesn't it?

1. Tagged is all I‘m focusing on rn
2. Tooooo many!!! 17 physical and 8 (3 & an omnibus) digital
3. I‘m a rereader if I‘m slumping. Which I am currently and explains 1 & 2. 😳😣😉

Tensions came to a head in this one. Guess that means the next one will be about the characters dealing with the aftermath. A couple of things did improve, though.

I need to get a new charger because it has to be in a *very specific* place to charge properly, so I can‘t move around like I usually do (I‘m a restless reader). The things we do to keep reading our books...and also the drawback to an ereader 🤣🤣🤣 #booknerdproblems

I‘m rereading this series once again. I love it so much. Especially every character‘s obsession with reading!

4⭐
I don't know what it is, but the world in these books and the story of this world's inhabitants is absolutely phenomenal!! I feel like this is how I should've felt about Harry Potter. (but I don't) How is there not a fandom built around these books??

Re-read.

After the rage of Good and Mad, I need a brain break; finishing up this reread.

I feel ya, Simon. This week has been tough for sleep. #rerereread #comfortreads

Lots of big events take place in this one. I found myself holding my breath several times! This book brings many of the plots that have been building up in previous books to a head, and brings some new additions to the over arching storyline. I can‘t wait to see what the next book will bring!

Spring snow means being lazy and reading

On to book four in The Others series for my reread binge. I finished books 2 & 3 yesterday. I keep asking myself why I love these books so much and it‘s an unknown because I agree with the GR criticisms that the books move slow and are weirdly over detailed and in this reread I‘ve noticed more of the problems with the writing. But it doesn‘t seem to dampen my love for the characters and their stories. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The heart wants what the heart wants.

This was another great read. I'm so in love with this series. I will say I'm in the minority in that I'm not shipping Meg and Simon. I am also finding that Meg is starting to grate on my nerves with her dramatic reactions. She doesn't seem like the same person she was in the first book. The story is still top notch though so it's a minor quibble.

I'm still just getting my toes wet with litsy but I'm ready to jump in for November I think. Thanks @Jess7 I can't wait to get started. #noteworthynovember

So excited to get back to this series!

On to the next one...I really should buy these so I can read whenever I get the urge. #YearOfRereads

Great book, great series and great day at the beach 😎

A beautiful book! Can't wait to read this baby!

#annebishop #theothers #markedinflesh #currentread

Love this series. The paranormal in this novel are sentient and a distinctly non-human. It is not your typical alpha hero who gets furry once a month.

Another late night with an exciting installment of The Others series!! I'm happy and sad that I have one more still to go! What a great series!!

A little busy character wise compared to earlier installments but I liked it.

I can't decide whether this is my favorite of the series so far or my least favorite one. Loved it though, I can't wait for Etched in Bone.

**This book was reviewed for the San Francisco Book Review**

Meg continues to be a frail, yet strong young woman, who is a beloved confusion for the Lakeside Courtyard. As always, this series had solid writing. I'm so invested in this book family and now I must wait for the next one!!! Many threads were tied off in this novel, and I'm eager to see where the next book will go.

My bathtime reading

This is a great book to read when you feel that people are really stupid and you can't understand why. The Others agree with you, but in this world, humanity's poor choices cause the more powerful beings to act and hope, once again, that humans will learn. An excellent read, very fast paced yet continues to develop the world and the characters.

I am so loving this world Bishop has created! Enough that I think this is the only title I'll have read in it's entirety for the #24in48 #readathon - my attention span is too short and I keep jumping from book to book.

#24in48 #readathon #shelfie We are still unpacking from our big move, and desperately need more shelves! But here's one of my bookshelves - hardcover and trade paperback fantasy and YA

It's entirely possible I had selfish motivations for buying my husband a hammock for his birthday... I love to read outside but our yard has so many mosquitos- problem solved! #24in48

My reading time just keeps getting cut down more and more this weekend, but I've hopefully got an hour to read while the baby naps... #24in48

At Supanova in Sydney yesterday. Thanks to my daughter and her friends for lining up to get this. 😍

Caught up on my new favorite series!! Now the waiting begins...

A broadening of the story's focus meant more characters to get to know and new parts of this world to explore. This was a great fourth instalment in The Others series. I just don't want to wait nearly a year for the next part!

Another great entry into Anne Bishop's Others Series, a wholly original take on urban fantasy. You really should read these from the beginning; the four novels are one long story. A really fun read!

Loved this so much. The characters keep developing well, and the tension keeps building and we finally see retribution from The Elders. It's not pretty. It's also tragic and sad. But the growing awareness of attraction between Meg and Simon is lovely to watch. Sigh.

Book 4 of The Others series! It's been one of my favourite reads over the past few years... & this isn't the last one either. #annebishop #easterread #birthdaybook

This series is so good. I'm enjoying the bigger picture of the world than just what happens to Meg. I also like that she isn't our usual UF heroine. She's not a fighter in the usual way, but she's definitely not weak either.

It's here!!!
