I don't usually do novellas but for some reason when I do they always become the book of the month for me and this one is no different
Red and blue are fantastic protagonists and I really did enjoy the flowery writing especially in the letters
Now let me tell you what really blew my mind about this book, the time travelling concept in the last portion of this book was exceptionally well written ...to end it with red and blue having bits of each other to overcome the poison ...stellar writing imo
I kinda wish there was a follow up to see how both of them fight against their agencies seeing as they are literally the best of both worlds or agencies in this case ....this was spectacular and I have a feeling I would reread this at some point in the future
Kerri maniscalco continues to entertain me , this was the perfect end to the trilogy
I will admit, I felt bad for Pride, he deserved to know his wife was still alive in the ...was it shadow isle or shimmering isle?? ...I can't recall
Anyway it was a good read and I can't wait to see what she does next
Okay, I'm going to be brutally honest here ...I didn't understand shit in this book but I know that i enjoyed it like a lot
I remember some important details like his time at the citadel, Dorcas,agia ...his broad sword with a weird af name , the dreams and of course Thelca
But other than that I can't tell which parts are present and some parts seem to be in a dream state or the future ???...I'm not exactly sure but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the mystery of it all
I may not be able to give account of all that happened in this book a day after I've finished it but I can tell you it is worth the read ....the prose seem to drag in some parts like the execution after he meets Agia (that was the main confusion for me )
But everything else was pretty easy to grab unto ...I liked the build up to the end on his journey to Thrax and I hope to get book 2 very soon
Once in a while there comes this piece of literature that reminds me why I love this medium so much
Robin hobb brings Fitzchivalry's tale to a beautiful end in the first trilogy in the realm of the elderlings ...I know he returns in the future trilogies but I doubt any of them would mean as much to me as the farseer trilogy did
Her writing is impeccable, pacing and plot wrapped up so well and her world building really fascinted me more in this book than in the others ...Burrich, chade, THE FOOL,starling,kettle etc they all contributed in so many ways to my admiration for this fantastic piece of fiction
I won't forget this trilogy now or in fifty years....exceptional storytelling once again
it's the best one yet
Every moment was just perfect....Christian Harper was the perfect male interest , this man can do no wrong I don't care
Stella my beautiful talented fashion designer, I love you so much...I thoroughly enjoyed this and I can't wait to see what Ana Huang does next
The twisted series ended so well...I loved it
Chef's kiss
I highly doubt another book in this series could top this ...I loved Bridget so fucking much ...it's nice to see the princess x bodyguard trope done right for once
I enjoyed this thoroughly oh and Rhys ..you beautiful bastard ...I loved his POV a lot as well...the yearning, the sneaking, the constant fighting to be with each other I loved all of it
I just didn't like the crawling scene ...some people might have found it hot but it was uncomfortable for me truly ...Ana Huang you have a real fan in me ...TRUST
I've seen enough to know Evan winter won't disappoint me at any time in this series
I did enjoy rage of dragons more than this one but that doesn't mean I didn't love it at all
Tau continues to impress as a charismatic leader, warrior, trainer and maybe an advisor considering the end of this book ...I look forward to him taking on a bigger role in Lord of Demons
Everything else remains the same, fantastic writing, the battle scenes are so well written, the deaths are still gut wrenching ..maybe more than before, the warriors are still as impressive as ever
I really look forward to book 3 ....I feel like that would be the peak of this series
Tracy Deonn has given me something I've been searching for since 2019 and that is a well written spin on the Arthurian legend
The way she fashioned this world and added a bit of black history/culture into this is very fascinating to me and I think there's some African influence on the “roots” part of the magical system I think
I enjoyed this a lot, her writing was very good especially for a YA fantasy which isn't common at all, the pacing was good from the start, every side character was intriguing to me especially the Scions
Now to the main three of the hour ...Selwyn, Nick and Bree ...I loved all of them and I am looking forward to seeing how their relationship/ friendship evolves in bloodmarked
This is something I would want to re read in the near future ...5
