"Put that book down and scritch me or I'll shove my snoot in your book. You've been reading for 7 hours straight, mom. ?" -Winston, probably
One of the things that I love most about this book is the naming of the characters. There are names suited very well to the fantasy genre like Althea, Keffria, Malta, Grag, Wintrow, and Brashen to name a few. Then there's Kyle. And yes, Kyle sucks as a person. He's the absolute worst. His name stands out among the rest like a sore thumb and I think it's by design maybe? Idk, but I think it's hilarious.

I've set up a book club on Storygraph about reading the entire Realm of Elderlings series - https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/29999d93-0689-409b-8291-72dbf71334bf
I'll host readalongs, buddy reads and I'll post on Litsy. I'm hoping to start February/March. Couple of things need sorting like reading order and whether some books need two months to read.

The world building in this series is insane. I'm enjoying every second of it. 🐉⛵️🏴☠️🩸
bailedSad to #dnf this, but I just don‘t like it. The characters are not very engaging and just horrible things are happening to the women/female characters which I just don‘t wish to read about anymore. I think I will just jump to the Fitz & the Fool series and pass on the Rainwilds - which is generally disliked. #hailthebail

pickI was kind of leery going into this because in book one none of the characters were capable of making good decisions BUT this one there was actual growth! One character I absolutely hated in book one became a character I thought really well of by the end of this one.
5th stop on my DC #IndependentBookstoreDay tour was Second Story Books in Dupont, which is DC‘s oldest used bookstore, founded in 1973.
Since this was bookshop no. 5 for me, I got a gift—a Second Story pin & notebook.
I‘m at 10k+ steps and it‘s only 1:30. That‘s 5 hours of glorious bookshop browsing.
There‘s 1 more bookshop I want to hit, but first a stop at home to eat & rest for a minute.
