pickBrilliant. Loved it. Set in the 1920s after the first World War. Clover discovers there is magic in the world when her older brother returns from the war hurt from a faerie curse. Her need to fix that curse and her own love of scholarship brings her to Camford, a magic academy. There she meets a group of young scholars that give her both friendship and danger. Parry did a great job of mixing historical fiction and fantasy.
so-soThis was a bit chaotic and unfocused but it may have been a result of the audiobook. Or I may have been in a mood.

From the author of The Magician‘s Daughter comes The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door, a mythic, magical tale full of secret scholarship, faerie curses, and the deadliest spells of all—the ones that friends cast on each other.

My November #aardvarkbookclub picks. Both authors were introduced to me by Aardvark and I've been excited to read their next books. Glad I could get them through Aardvark again.
pickThe doors to faerie country have been closed since a catastrophic attack @ the end of the Great War. Cover Hill just wants to break the faerie curse on her brother. What she discovers will uproot everything she knows about magic.
I love Parry‘s work so much. Such strong, compelling character work even when I dislike a character, breathtaking word building. Slow start, but so engaging in learning along with Clover I didn‘t mind too much.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
First fire of the season. Wish I could curl up with the book, but I have to go pick up the kids from school
pick92/150 This is the first book I've read by David Gemmell, but it definitely won't be the last. If you're in the mood for a epic fantasy, then this is it, but also there's some deeper thought going on also. What makes a hero? Who decides what is legend and what is truth? Can a hero escape his destiny? It's a rollicking adventure for sure, but deeper than the usual sword & sorcery story. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
Final entry to the trilogy. Science fantasy, beautifully written but I will admit the book seemed to last forever, with twists and turns toward the end. Enjoyed it nonetheless.
