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

Am enjoying this. Middle Grade story with some surprisingly challenging (to me!) vocabulary, set in Kansas, satisfies the category of two timelines, plucky young girl MC, AND a friend just texted me that she found a copy: #BuddyRead!!

#fridayhappyreadinghour longest week ever? TGIF Cheers Littens! I hope your Friday nights are everything you need them to be

Should have DNF, but I was stubborn.
First, I'm not a fan of duo POVs or third person perspective, but that's just my taste. I also don't like perspectives from a teenage boy, so that's three strikes so far. I felt the author just danced around the surface of mental illness and grief. And the instalove, especially after the miscommunication and keeping secrets drove me nuts.
The only part I loved was the dogs.

You can tell how much my life was upside down in December—I never created a graphic for the #NancyDrewBR January discussion! And, we‘re a few days away from it. Thanks to those who have been posting about reading for the 15th.
Discussion on January 15th. Personally, I think this older cover is less creepy than the revised edition cover. 🤷🏻♀️

Having hidden her whole life, Xingyun now has to face the Celestial Kingdom with its hundred dangers while getting her mother free from her imprisoned life.
The book satisfies the urge of a good book. Friendship, love triangle, drama, duty vs desire, dragons, dangers, enemies, broken promises, etc the book has all the elements of a perfect fantasy novel. The fact this is a debut takes it to another level.
4/5🌟
