The Iron King | Julie Kagawa

I'm a bit more than halfway through this but it isn't grabbing me. TBH I find it weird when European mythical creatures are transposed onto American soil. The protagonist is 16 years old and that seems to be the target audience. Slow going but not terrible. Megan does tend to jump into situations that have me going 'Stop and think!' but, hey, she's 16 🤗

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

This controversial romance is brought up every month in my Romance Book Club.

I finally decided to see what the fuss is about 50 years after it was written.

Women in historical romances didn't have the freedom of choice most of us have today. They did their best with what they had, and sometimes, their womanly wiles were the only leverage they had.

dabbe Oh, how I loved these books as an older teenager! I had this one, SHANNA, and my personal favorite, THE FLAME AND THE FLOWER. #hubbahubba! 🩶🩷🩶 2h

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was really interested in the premise of this book and I enjoyed it up until the last quarter of it. The remaining quarter and ending felt sudden and abrupt, and felt like a bit of a let down. I also found the main female protagonist annoying and frustrating at times. Overall, I had high hopes for this book and it definitely fell short.

This morning Sneaky Casey stole a pillow and hid behind BIRDING WITH BENEFITS, which is a lot of fun so far. I love it when something that‘s marketed as a romcom is actually full of jokes and wacky hijinks! (Publishers do seem to be getting better about this.) I‘m excited to read more later this afternoon. Hopefully I can finish it tomorrow so the next person on the holds list gets a go.

CoffeeAndABook This sounds like fun!! I could use a good chuckle 😮‍💨 Stacked 📚 6h

To keep my mind from my school's upcoming meeting about new policies, may I interest you in a game? Use the following tags. If someone has done something similar, my apologies.

I want Kiowa Gordon for the role of Xaden. The rumored actor is okay (too pretty, not rugged enough for me). I just want an Indigenous actor.

Who would you choose for your favorite characters? For any book.

Just for fun. Just for today.

Ruthiella I have not read the books, but I often enjoy casting imaginary book-to-screen adaptations in my head. I remember being really disappointed in the 2013 movies casting for “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones” because it wasn‘t how I imagined any of the characters. 😂 6h
Butterfinger @Ruthiella I can't bring myself to watch the movie or the show. Magnus Bane is perfect. I think the character is too perfect to be cast. I just know I will be disappointed. 6h

Some of the magic from the previous books eluded me in this one.
It was still incredibly tense, distressing, and harrowing.
However, most of the twists I foresaw this time around. I wasn't as taken aback by the events as I was with the previous two books.
Still, I'm anxiously trying to make time to read the next book.
