Welcome to Litsy!

I listened to Titus Groan several years ago and did not especially enjoy it, so it‘s taken me a long time to try this second book. Gormenghast Castle is a world of its own peopled with truly interesting characters. I enjoyed this book more than the first, but it‘s still a slow moving story where I kept waiting for more to happen.

I‘m not sure what I expected but another blackmail, discontent start to a long story about a continuation of killing others to save themselves… what did I just read and why did I waste my time … not every book is for you and this one is not for me I guess… I may pick it up in the future and see if I can get through it without throwing it across the room (I didn‘t really throw it but I wanted too)

I first came upon Emily Tesh through the Greenhollow Duology. 'The Incandescent' is quite different, but still has beautiful prose. I love dark academia and like how the main POV is from a head director rather than a student. You get to see a different side of the academia. I also enjoyed the romance. The audiobook narration is wonderful. 4 stars.

Trying to do a reading schedule for this - 50 pages daily, to finish this 14-volume series by the end of the year and return the set to my friend who began lending me these books almost six years ago. What a journey it has been. I can appreciate the world building and the work that went into it but it hasn't hit me as hard as some other series or universes that I've explored.

So charming!

I needed a new read. I couldn‘t find any Christmas reads so this will do until I start our school‘s Winter Reading challenge!

This was a superb ending to an amazing series. I love this series, I can‘t believe how long it took me to discover it. I‘m blown away with everything that happened in this series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A friend and I realized we both read and loved this as teens, so now we (plus my husband) have formed a book club for a re-read. So far, just as fun as I remember interspersed with more awkward writing than I realized. Definitely excited to read more. I'm collecting every played song in a playlist on Spotify (skipping ones just mentioned unless also implied that it may have been played).

Big books need a lot of Sticky Notes😂😂😛😛
