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.

Library haul today includes The Dark Lands. Cat approves
Those random days where you wake up at seven o‘clock, only to read till ten.
pickI found this book in a little library, when I got it I started readying it and immediately I got hooked. I felt like I connected with the characters and I understood what they were going through. The main character, Evie, is lonely and is still stuck on the mysterious death of her little sister, brother, and her parents. She has three jobs and she lives in the attic of her apartment building, and only has a few possessions from her childhood!!
It is all in ruins now but back then, under a younger sun, the city walls were strong and high.
