pickA direct continuation of book 8, book 9 is a solid quest that starts at Eleanor's school and journeys through several worlds. The dino world is a minor part of the story, but still pretty cool 😁

Starting this one tonight. Hopefully this get me out of my slump.
pickI see this book reviewed here and noticed that either I didn't review it here or my review never "aired" back in September.
Anyway, I absolutely loved it. The translation and narration by Mary Robinette-Kowal are excellent.
It's creepy and atmospheric and I still wonder what the end was about.
pickMy email to @BarbaraBB about this book when I finished it last night:
1. The English translation is really well done.
2. The use of negative space was incredible.
3. The suspense was superb.
4. I didn‘t get the ending at all.
so-soIf the writing wasn‘t so good, this would be a Pan. Descriptions and sentiments are wonderful, but the story is a mess of extraneous details irrelevant to the plot, too many meaningless background characters, and a useless protagonist. Confusing without being mysterious, ending did not feel earned.
I am so heartbroken 💔 after this. No fair. #Powerful is part of the #Powerless series POV Mak & Adena ♥️🥀🌹❤️🩹 I love this gorgeous AI of them…💕
pickI meant to grab this when it came out, but blanked. When I saw it recently I snatched it up & quickly read it as a antidote to my reading slump.
It was marvelous.
Gus was a delight; I liked seeing Nightingale young & carefree (even tho from more distance than usual), & queer 1920s NY was fantastic--I squeed with every every jazz musician name drop.
Even better, he's finally made it clear Nightingale is ace, which made me love him more.
pickI was enthralled...and then it was over! The ending felt too rushed.
