“I would ask you to remember Tao, as one woman with power to another--the greater good much always come before the personal.“

“No,“ said Tao. Here, at last, was something she was sure off--something that she had learned in her journeys, that perhaps the High Made had not. “You're wrong. There's no such thing as greater good--there's just good, and the more of it we can do, the better.“

It turns out one of my favourite crossover genres is mystery-fantasy. (Although maybe this is mystery-scifi? There is no magic but the tech is all plant based)
Anyhow! Everything i love in a mystery with a Holmes style detective plus a strange new world with unusual tech. Our protagonist is Kol, he‘s the level headed Watson to Ana, the temperamental investigator. Ana wears a blindfold and usually stays indoors, to better focus, ⬇️

Centique relying on Kol to bring back all his impressions of the crime scenes. They are both fantastic characters & the world is complex and beautifully rendered. As enjoyable as P Djeli Clark IMO. 6h
Ruthiella I‘ve heard so many good things about this book! 6h
Centique @Ruthiella yes me too! I picked it up after a glowing review and just tore through it. A lot of fun - I was thinking you might like it too! 6h

I have to say the book is very different from the movie, that I adored and inspired me reading the whole series. That being said, it was ok , but has to be my least favorite book in the series so far....just 1 more left

“You shouldn‘t be here.”
“Why?”
“Because you make me ravenous.”
⚔️
It‘s a pick, but the first 100 pages made me contemplate DNFing- I couldn‘t keep track of where we were going, who we were going with & if we liked eachother. But it picked up, it was kind of fun but doesn‘t compare to the core Crowns of Nyaxia series. I do commend Broadbent on telling stories from this world from different angles & expansive worldbuilding.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4 Ch.22-24: Kay, SJM - where‘s my fan? You make me want to air bnb a cabin in the woods. Tamlin has really completely fallen. In a way, does the dead elk symbolize him? Doesn‘t his beast form have elk antlers? Maybe I‘m wrong. What do we think was in the woods watching Mor? Hmm, could it be Bryaxis or something entirely new?

BarkingMadRead That was super creepy and i immediately thought of Bryaxis 13h
LiseWorks I really suspect it's Bryaxis and oh Tamlin, I think he is depressed. 11h

OriginalCyn620 The sex scene was pretty hot! TBH, I forgot all about Bryaxis, but it was creepy. 11h
Read4life Like @OriginalCyn620 I forgot about Bryaxis & was just repeating “Time to go, Mor!” 10h
vonnie862 Yes, Tamlin has completely fallen. I wonder if he'll ever heal. 8h

Starting this chunkster! Excited to read this since I loooved The Magicians series. I‘m due with my first baby in less than 5 weeks so this feels like my last chance to read a big physical book for a while 😅 I‘m off work today and it‘s finally nice enough to sit outside, so am very happy.

It was not my favorite from the series, but it was nice to listen to what the characters did after the war with Hybern. There was character growth and plot development for the next book.

mcctrish It was a weak link in the series but sort of setting the scene for the next one which is a BEAST in size 19h
