Want to read more.

Another book by LM Montgomery featuring a precocious orphan 😄

Loved it 🤍

Go George! ⛵️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (At least Burt immediately apologized.)

I am loving this book - can‘t put it down! It‘s everything I liked about the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, except no Fae. And no romance, which is not my favorite genre. I often skimmed over the sex scenes in ACOTAR because I wanted to get back to what I thought of as the main plot.
I love Naomi Novik‘s writing. It‘s a pleasure to read it in hard copy book form. I appreciate the language most in this format.

Book 2 is up next 😁

Maas is not disappointing with this series. The middle was a little slow in the way of action, but she made up for it by focusing on the characters and developing their relationships, as well as with an intriguing mystery unfolding in the castle. I like the MC and some of the characters around her, and of course there‘s a bit of a love triangle. I‘m rooting for the underdog, of course lol. Can‘t wait to see what else happens…

2.5 stars. I have mixed feeling for this. I liked the 2nd half of the book more than the 1st half. The main character, Gemma, was a spoiled rich girl. She was not a very likable character. Her love interest, Talan, was very suspicious to me. The insta love was a little too convenient. There is an interesting magic system and world building. The writing style was a little disjointed with chapters ending too abruptly.

Random find on the Southbank bookstalls in London yesterday. I loved this series growing up
