pickDragons and duckmoles and badgers oh my! A grand adventure through the divine realms, a war of grand (you could even say divine) proportions, promises broken, and secrets revealed! A wonderful conclusion to this lovely series! I can‘t wait to get to Kel‘s books! (I just have to wait for them to arrive)
pickI liked it. But it‘s hard not to measure this series based on The Song of the Lioness, and it‘s not a flattering comparison. There‘s just not the depth of friendships or relationships that Alana gets—probably because animals take the place of humans…now that I think of it maybe that‘s on me because I don‘t value them the same? The other big side of that is the romance and it does feel rushed in this book and the age gap/power dynamics unaddressed.
1. I like both, but have never had either--I'm allergic 😔
2. The upcoming 3-day weekend!

Thanks for the tag @julesG - I actually found this hard - often because I'm not particularly loyal to an author - I'll love some of their work but have no interest in or intent to read some of their others... I'm pretty dedicated to this bunch tho! #top10authorrecommendation
pickThis series was an excellent choice to cap off my month of re-reading.
so-soI FINALLY finished it. I should feel sad not relieved. I loved the first three in the series, the strongest being the third, but this one was a bit of a dud. I didn't care for the time in the Divine Realms and the rest was under-developed. I love Daine, I love Numair, I love their ragtag group of friends but I really wish this had been a stronger finish plot-wise. Plus, a romance between a 16 yo and a 28 yo makes me feel a little icky.
My 5yo is at a birthday party. I'm sitting in my car reading.
The rain stopped, the sun came out, and my Book Outlet shipment came four days early! Yay Tortall! My collection is complete (for now).
This stack is a #blameitonlitsy. The need to own the books, the connection to the entire Tortall series, the knowledge of Book Outlet, all Litsy's fault!
Today is one of those stormy, dreary days where all you want to do is stay at home and curl up with a book. Usually I'm at work when this happens but today I'm at home AND my kids and husband are gone for the morning. Yes!
My weekend goal is to finish a book. Just one and I'd be happy. I'm still working on Sweep in Peace but I've also picked back up the last book in Daine's (The Immortals) quartet.
Good luck and happy reading to all the #readathon participants!
I succumbed to the Book Outlet sale siren call when I realized I could get all of the Tortall books I don't own yet . Some of the titles were under $2 and most were under $3. *swoon*
My least favorite book of the series, not least because of the relationship. Still, a satisfying ending for a beloved character.
Now this is just a tragedy. Not only is the book's spine broken, and a strip of cloth tape (like from a first aid kit) is across the top of the page (not torn that much btw), there is a page missing. People need to respect library books more. Sheesh.
