Halfwayr through with this one and so far it‘s very intriguing- the eerie wasteland makes me think of Vandermeer‘s Annhilation/ Southern Reach novels which I also enjoyed lots!

I read She Who Became the Sun in one sitting. I was completely engrossed. I kept having to force myself to go back to He Who Drowned the World.

I'm not even sure what it was that I wasn't enjoying. It wasn't as tightly plotted as the previous book and there were pacing issues.

⬇️

PuddleJumper I would still recommend this duology. It's still a good historical fantasy book. I just wasn't as into it as the first one and I think that disappointment has coloured my opinion somewhat.

Selling my mystery books at a craft fair today. Started reading this in the low points. Got an hour left and it's completely dead so hopefully I'll get through a bit more!

I like books about train trips. But this one is crazy so far….

This is my most anticipated December read. I keep putting it off because I enjoyed the first one at much and I'm scared it won't be as good

Characters weren't likable - they were morally grey. I really love that kind of characters. Like I said they weren't likable but I love to read about them xD

This was a dark and ugly story, but I loved it. I loved political plotting and betrayals.

This was a great story about people who had lust for power and oh boy how far they were willing to go! Reading this was like watching a train wreck.

3✨ Being the last in the series a lot has happened to these characters. This may have been the first time I realized it included some history to this fantasy world. Naturally, I knew it was using real places, but I thought that was it. Like with the other two, I was only interested in one of the POVs. #SeriesLove #HauntedShelves #TeamFlurken

Sorry to bail on this one, I just can‘t get past the age of the girls and the dialog. #hailthebail
