Once there was, but it would not always be. This is the ending of every story.
Once there was a world called Kelanna, a wonderful and terrible world of water and ships and magic.

The Left Hand of Darkness | Ursula K. LeGuin

Years ago, the only thing I was reading was my single volume of the Lord of the Rings I had received for Christmas. As soon as I finished, I started over.

My dad became frustrated with my refusal to read anything else, so he took it away until I read Fahrenheit 451, which put me off sci fi for over a decade.

& then I discovered LeGuin, & I fell in love with the genre. I am so grateful to this book for reintroducing me to a genre I had avoided.

I don't agree that this story is a story about comfort and healing or that it is an optimistic book... I'd say it was a book about a children experiencing big, difficult emotions, facing violence, death and loss. There is darkness, and sacrifice, and tears. There is also magical creatures and friendship, ecological message, but it doesn't save the story.

I'm getting into the Christmas spirit (BTW, where's the snow Colorado? No snow since April is unacceptable!) so I'm going to take a break from my other reading and dip into something Christmasy. I haven't chosen which one yet, but it will definitely be set in a snowy location!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I finished this last night, and my brain is still reeling from the ending!
I thought this was a good continuation of Broadbent‘s story into a second duology, and I feel like I can see where she‘s going now with the series overall.
I am very glad the next book is out, because I need to start it immediately!

One of my favorite things about this series other than how pretty and fun to read it is would have to be the way Natsume builds friendships everywhere he goes. It feels like there are two Book of Friends--the one from his grandma and the manga itself. #Manga #Friendship

A very entertaining and fast paced sci-fantasy adventure. My favorite parts of the book are the characters and the pacing. So many epics suffer from pacing problems, whereas this kept me engaged throughout. It does have some tells of being a first book-it definitely is referential to other works, primarily Dune and the author overuses foreshadowing to a frustrating degree. However, I still liked the book a lot and will continue the series. 4⭐️

I have finally finished it! The MMC and FMC are amazing. Despite it not being tagged a ‘romance‘, I think amidst all of the darkness, it is a devastatingly great romance.

My Ariana Grande obsessed sister has been disappointed with me for at least a year because I didn‘t see Wicked in cinema… I said I‘d wait for the second one to come out… which is how I‘ve found myself at a double feature 🤭 who wants to go to bed early on a Sunday? Leaving the cinema at midnight is way more fun!

BookishMarginalia Hope you enjoyed! 2h
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @BookishMarginalia, more than anticipated tbh. Glinda & Elphaba were both well cast and the costuming was spectacular… not convinced it needed to be two movies. Always happy to hang out with my lil sister tho! 1h
