pickA dark, hauntingly beautiful ghost story that perfectly captures Schwab‘s signature eerie storytelling. With zero romance and a focus on atmosphere, identity, and the thin veil between the living and the dead, Schwab once again crafts a world that is twisted and gothic, but never overly graphic. A must-read if you like quiet horror and lyrical, immersive storytelling. Book #13 in 2025
pickAn enjoyable audiobook
Read for reading challenges
4/5
pickAt the suggestion of @TheBookHippie, and for the sake of my mental health, I swapped this out for #withthebanned. It's also a #childrensclassicread2025.
While my experiences in school were not as extreme as in this book, this did bring me right back to my elementary days. I wish I had read this book back then. Blume understands the dynamics of grade school, as well as the herd mentality that bullying often has.
so-soAn odd book but I think I/we enjoyed it
Read to Henry
3.75/5
pickI couldn't wait to get back to Ilvernath after finishing the first book. In this sequel, we pick up the story right where we ended, which I liked, and I'm glad I read this one shortly after finishing the first book, or I might have been confused.
In this book, the authors take some liberties with the rules they established for the magic system, and this book was a lot more "telling" than "showing." It was still a good conclusion, though.
repost for @PuddleJumper:
It's book 3 of the Heroes of Olympus series for #RiordanverseReadalong
I am a little behind, haven't started book 2 but hoping to get both of these done in March
