Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m a sucker for Ruritanian romance; throw in some fantasy and I‘m there. This is the sequel to ‘Coronets & Steel‘ literally a modern day Ruritanian romance with fantasy elements; it follows on the Christmas after the events in the first book. Although (halfway through) there‘s not much romance, the love of Kim‘s life being otherwise engaged (pun intended). Still fun

My -ology journey continues with Griffin & Sabine heptalogy series. I chose these instead of Chronicles of Narnia because a) I read book 1 of G&S and I wanted to finish the remaining books and b) I read Narnia to the point I lost count.

If you like the IP and Stackpole‘s work this is quick fun read.

Interesting premise and I liked reading how ancient Romans lived, the public baths, the smell (omg, the smell - you could practically experience it coming off the pages with the descriptions), disease and war. Too bad the main character was so unlikeable. She had her own morals, like no drinking, no spanking children, etc., but then would give into them, almost like, “Oh well, when in Rome…” Ending felt flat and predictable too.

“The worst thing that good cold do to evil.was ignore it.“

The 1st in the Critically acclaimed Trilogy

I rather enjoyed this one. It has mixed reviews. It‘s basically about a war between the moths and the butterflies, a fairy story. Love rules all. It feels a little like a young adult book but all in all I thought it was an enchanting read.

A library book. Mixed reviews for this one but I‘m giving it a go. 🧚🪄

I love John Connolly. This is an ebook I've had for a few months now, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

Finished this one last night! I loved the idea and the world building but the main character was just so annoying, also the ending felt rushed, so only 3/5⭐️
