“‘I have found that no matter what the circumstance, it is most useful to be oneself,‘ Shuden said. ‘The more faces we try to wear, the more confused they become.‘

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...

AnnCrystal Since this book had been a gift for my birthday, I gave it one more try...and I am very glad.

I don't know why this began with such a terrible scene...perhaps to make readers worried for Blue (FMC Cerise's dog) once he is gifted to her by the king. I know I was freaked out worried for Blue throughout the whole book...

AnnCrystal There was a little Beauty and the Beast at the beginning, but it quickly became it's own unique story that became better and better with each chapter. I didn't like the king at first, then I began to adore him right along with Cerise.

This book turned out to be a genuine gem that I absolutely loved. Those last scenes where dynamite 📚💝.

CrowCAH Congratulations 🎉 I only started the series a couple years ago, so the next book in the Stormlight Archive for me to read is 2.5 Edgedancer. At least I know I‘ll have some good reading ahead of me! ☺️ 1d
rabbitprincess Holy moly, over 1000 pages! And I thought The Well of Ascension was on the chunky side when I read it last month 😂 Love Sanderson‘s work though! 31m

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. 🤩 🩰

CrowCAH Even if she doesn‘t get HP, I hope she finds joy in her dancing role! 🩰 5d
Roary47 @CrowCAH I‘m sure she will she loves her dance group. We have to wait another week. Her teacher wasn‘t here today and they had a substitute. 5d
CrowCAH @Roary47 oh no! One more week of hope. 4d
