My not a real bookclub chose Sabriel for February and I‘m having the best time rereading!

Mehso-so

Has anyone else read this book??? The magic system is very interesting but also not the most in depth description on how it really works… I think the story is really original and a very cool premise. HOWEVER. It took me over a month to read this 300 page book. Which I can generally finish in a couple of days and now that I have finished it I still feel so meh about it…

Fantasyfan I just had this deliver today. I realized I have owned the entire rest of the series except this one book for years. 3mo
BookmarkTavern I love this whole series! 💖 And yeah, I don‘t remember the magic system ever really getting an in depth explanation. If you like audiobooks, I highly recommend the first three in this series. Tim Curry reads them. 💖 3mo
451Degrees @Fantasyfan oh man I hope it works better for you! I just felt like I never clicked with the book the whole time 😩 3mo

451Degrees @BookmarkTavern I might try them there… I feel like I should really love this book and potentially the rest of the series! Idk what has happened! 3mo
Fantasyfan @451Degrees I will go into it with low expectations, which I already have. I already knew the world building was not great from other reviews. I have read a lot of older epic fantasy and YA fantasy, so maybe I can enjoy it for its age and view it more as a classic than fantasy. 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly I love this book and the whole series! I don‘t mind when magic systems are not fully explained. I don‘t understand how my phone works, either. 3mo
451Degrees @Fantasyfan oh for sure! I didn‘t really mind the world building I thought that aspect was great! The more I think about it the more I am feeling like the characters were where it went a little more flat for me. I just hope you enjoy the read! 3mo
451Degrees @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s a good point!☺️ I feel like I was just wanting a little bit more to the characters to match the world building. I loved the unique magic system and setting even if I didn‘t really understand it well😅 3mo

Another great read!
However I do wish they wouldn‘t end on such complicated cliff hangers. It wasn‘t so bad when I had the next book to keep going with, but now it‘s a waiting game for book 4 😂

101/150 This was easily my favorite book of the series, so far. This iteration of Harrowhawk was by far the most pleasant and endearing, so sweet and kind. Her fate at the end was heartbreaking 💔. I hope Muir comes out with Alecto The Ninth as soon as possible. 5 🌟 read.

DieAReader 🥳Great! 4mo
BookmarkTavern Right?!? I am so anxious waiting for Alecto! I‘m going to have to do a reread of the first three when it‘s announced! 4mo

1. Anne or Rosalind, the middle names of my grandmothers.

2. Love all of the names of the characters in this whole book series. Sabriel, Lirael, I just love that -el sound at the end of the names.

Two weeks of #bookreport but not much to show. I'm making steady progress on audio, but reading with my eyes has been slow going. That's ok.

My #weeklyforecast is more just a bunch of possibilities. Who knows what I'll actually get to.

Was lucky enough to hit TWO bookstores with the best of friends, and came away with a lil haul. A couple I‘ve been wanting to read, and a couple impulse buys that looked really good. A good bookish Sunday!

Not a spoiler but maybe a meta spoiler if you dig too deeply, so don‘t? 🤣
I honestly don‘t remember if I caught this on a previous listen, and casually book clubbing it with friends means I‘m actually putting things together and not just listening in the abstract. This series gets better and better with each new layer of meaning!

cariashley I really need to get to this series! 14mo
kgriffith @cariashley it took me a couple of tries, but having regular convos with friends who are deep into the wiki and fandom has made it exceptionally fun 😄 14mo

My sister finally finished Harrow, so once again I am (mildly) penitent about not warning her how Harrow ended by buying her coffee, a thematically appropriate sticker, and Nona.

And no. I have not and will not warn her how Nona ends. 😅

Clare-Dragonfly I think you‘re going to have to buy her the fourth book too 😂 1y
GondorGirl @Clare-Dragonfly I was going to say the same thing! We've all be victimized by these books. 😭 1y
