Roial nodded slightly, smiling. ‘True. Boring, perhaps, but true.‘”

Happy Tuesday! I still can‘t see where this is going, but I am loving TenSoon and cheering so hard for him. That ball was a nice touch, too. I can‘t wait for more.

I feel like this is the fantasy equivalent of Red Rising in a good way. Vis, the protagonist, comes from a different background than Darrow of Red Rising but there's the same underdog nature in their trials to come out on top of an elite academy. This was over 600 pages and I read it in almost two days because I was so invested in what was going on. I just wish the second book was out already.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Tress of the Emerald Sea” was a joy to read. It definitely lives up to the hype of having “Princess Bride” and “Stardust” vibes, while also having interesting world-building and a cozy story. The characters were lovable, and the character arcs themselves were wonderful.
I read the bulk of this during March, which turned out to be a perfect read for Women's History Month!
While this is fantasy fiction, it draws from real-life women inequality issues across society, religious orders, and political structures.
When I first began this book, I expected a “Beauty and the Beast with gothic undertones“. This is more “medieval, cursed king finds his sorceress“.
I very nearly bailed at the very beginning...

I've reached page 1100! 🎉🎉🎉 Only 250 pages to go! 📚 This book is destroying me in the best way possible!
Thank You @TheSpineView for #BandBDay & for the tag ☕📚💝.
Hope to finish this tonight. This read turned out to have way more depth than I expected...in an incredibly good way...better conclude in a good way...📚💝.

When my oldest is at a later ballet class, it‘s dinner in the car and a book. (She eats while I drive 20 minutes to her class) Today she finds out if she gets to be the Harry Potter in the dance. 🤩 🩰
