While I dream of reading all four books rolled in #CastTheDie - I know that, that is completely unrealistic for me. So I decided to grab my lucky book roll from the library and read that next. I've been reading mixed reviews on this book so I wonder what I'll think of it. I know it will be heavy but I'm also hoping the Indigenous folklore ties in well.

My #CastTheDie picks. It is somewhat of a mix-mash of a list but I feel it has a lot of magical realism in it. I couldn't decide on a lucky book, so I rolled some dice, lol. It came up with lucky number 13 - so, Son of a Trickster will be my lucky book for this list!

My 2 year old nephew loves Halloween and spooky books and has been demanding to be read them all summer. This Auntie is more than happy to add to his collection.
so-soMmmmmeh. I didn't want this to be meh, but that is my overall impression. Maybe if I was in the target demographic, teens, I would have felt more invested. Too much high school drama. I've been a fan of limited colour palettes before, but this one left me cold. Didn't feel any particular way about the art style either. 🤷🏼♂️
so-soI remember being so DEVASTED when I got rejected for one of these books on Netgalley but NGL, it wasn't that good?? Maybe it gets better but the art here, esp when the characters powers are involved, feel very unmagical. I'm also confused if this is related to teen titans or its own thing. Makes me want to watch TTs!! And the black magic/calling of the ancestors reminded me of Legendborn, which I love. An underwhelming read but continuing
so-soNot for me. Great writing, compelling set up for a trilogy. It didn't drag, it took the time it needed to get the reader acquainted with who and where the main character is in their life, before starting to hint at what that main character is, who they could be. 1/?
pickIt genuinely is as good as people say it is yall. Took me an age to actually read it but that has nothing to do with the book and everything to do with not having enough time in the day. Despite how fantastic it was it is a rather rough read in terms of content so fair warning on that one.
pickI loved this so much!!! Super fitting end book to the trilogy and very much worth the read! There‘s so much stuff packed in these three books that I don‘t even know where to begin- just read and enjoy!
pickThis the Empire Strikes Back of the series- definitely need to read the first one as characters and motivations grew out of it. This is more from the baby Trickster heading to full on vengeance mode with the best of intentions. Such a fun read!
