The Mirror King | 
pickI really liked the conclusion to this series. I don‘t know why I felt like this book was going to flop going into it, maybe because I don‘t know anyone else who has read it, but thank goodness that didn‘t happen. Also, that ending hit me right in the feels. Nothing else needs to be said.
(E-book, Overdrive) Better written than it‘s predecessor, though events follow on immediately from the cliffhanger of ‘Orphan Queen‘. But it‘s not addressing the elephant in the room: when you have an agent of the enemy in your own camp, why not question him and get answers to fight the impending war. Other than that, it‘s got me hooked at the moment.
pickI just finished the Orphan Queen series by #jodimeadows and it was amazing! I loved all of these characters so much. #ya #ireadya #books #booklover #reading #bibliophile #bookaholic #booknerdigans
pickThe companion book to "The Orphan Queen" ?? this picks right off, literally, where the last one ended aka cliffhanger. It's longer that the first one and I think more well done than the first. Yes, there are still the YA fantasy tropes that are all too common; but I took the story for itself and I enjoyed it. I wanted to punch some characters in the face but that's part of the fun.
Cybils public nominations started this weekend and (to an outsider) the totals look pretty anemic for several days into nominations. I encourage anyone who has an interest in children's and young adult lit to check out the award and nominate your favorite titles from the year. The Mirror King was my nomination in YA Speculative Fiction. Link here: http://www.cybils.com/2016/10/and-go-cybils-nominations-are-open.html #Cybils
pickI liked this sequel. The ending felt a little bit rushed but overall it was enjoyable.
pickA good conclusion to the duology! I loved seeing the character development of Wilhelmina and Tobiah, and seeing their relationship develop. Also seeing them come into their respective crowns. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
