This one was ok. I‘m definitely interested to see where the next one leads but I was a bit bored for most of this first installment.

While I‘m often reluctant to read anything with a romantasy label attached - I ended up really enjoying this.

It‘s got a very modern vibe in an otherwise fantastical, somewhat historical European setting. I loved how enterprising both sisters were & how they came to reconcile their history to their present circumstances & I do love an unconventional happy ending.

I‘m quite tempted to find myself a copy of Angela Carter‘s The Bloody Chamber…

Just finished THIS IS NOT A TEST🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️. It‘s now one of my fave zombie apocalypse books, my first @summerscourtney Excited for the movie adaptation on Feb! Will also bump Sadie on my TBR!

I‘ve been a fan of the Walking Dead🧟but I‘m one of those who paused watching it when Neegan killed Glenn. I just continued watching Season 7 last week.

#Celebrate LockedRmMystery This song is about how we put on a facade because we have insecurities to hide. I feel like a locked room mystery does the same. Sara McLachlan released this song in 1997. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

The climax to the series.

I was a bit confused at first, as quite a lot seems to have happened between the previous book and this one. The final battle went on for a bit too long for my tastes but then I'm not a boy in his early teens. A very satisfactory ending after the battle, though.

Quite different from The Giver. But still a not quite normal place. I feel like there is so much more behind the curtain of the dysfunction…

This one was mostly just fighting, but it did introduce some new people who are quite interesting
