Welcome to Litsy!

Sequel to ‘The Philosopher‘s Flight‘

So far not bad.

It was good but the ending wasn‘t super satisfying, it felt like a lot of loose ends, as well as Anne being quite whiny and ungrateful at times, it almost felt disrespectful to read at times.

That's a little outside my price range.

This book is so long. And antidotal. I didn‘t really start to REALLY enjoy this book until the last like third of it. I don‘t have a reason why.

This took me a while to get into. Now that I‘m about a quarter of the way in I‘m getting hooked.

#bannedbooksunday Book#1 this week. This book was banned in a Virginia school as part of 21 books they removed due to "sexually explicit content". In response to the ban King wrote a tweet recommending people read books that get banned to find out why they don't want you to read it.

So short and beautiful. It's a slow rise to a new normal, it's a test of truth and loyalty. I like how the main character is a mess and he's aware of it. Love how as the story unfolds, the reader sees how different his life had been compared to his commanding officer's. And that makes the ending such a lovely surprise.

There is so much to enjoy in this book. The First Nation perspective, the heroine, the magic system. I wish the plot was a tad more propulsive because of it's target audience. Nevertheless I do think this will be one that the sort of kid who reads Watership Down and Lord of the Rings at 11 will absolutely love. As an adult reader I enjoyed myself, which was a surprise because boarding school books are not my fave, I will read on in the series.

My comfort reads often involve Thursdays: the Thursday Next series, and the Thursday Murder Club series. Or Becky Chambers (no Thursdays there, that I know of 😉).
