@DarlingReaders Currently reading Babel and it does a remarkable job at putting you in the shoes of someone who's born on the outside (Chinese and taken by the empire of gb) and though is given everything, remains on the outside and slowly sees the injustices he's hidden from.
Tower of Dawn - #SJM
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What I'll say for this book individually is again to praise the way in which SJM approaches topics such as depression etc. Nesta was my favourite of her characters in tackling this, but it is broached here delicately and very well too.

Empire of Storms - #sjm
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I did this as a tandem read with ToD because the timeliness run parallel and it's believed that once you've finished your, you won't be arsed with wanting to go back to ToD.
Do I agree with this, and is it worth the faff? Honestly, no

Allow me to reintroduce myself, the name is Libero!
Will be updating the map in future prints so get your hands on any of the last stock over at amazon etc if you want the old and soon to be very limited edition.

#DivineRivals - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
People adore this book, and I'm so glad that they've taken away something special from it
The initial writing and blossoming love I really enjoyed, but then it just became too 🚩and I couldn't get past those red flags being so quickly overlooked

QoS - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I should have reviewed this before delving into the tandem read of ToD and EoS.
But, what a book and what a series. The ordeal that is reading a #sjm book, 80% of it fearing for your fav characters having an awful time, whilst you have the best time

Having big strugs with @inkarnaterpg.
Went to load up my map and its just gone incredibly weird.
Hardware acceleration already on 😭😭
Any ideas in the #WritingCommunity 🙏🙏
My #yearinreview 2023.
Ranked left to right. A mixture of fiction and non fiction, fantasy and drama. A good year for books! (I know most didn't actually come out this year! 😅😅)
#BookTwitter#booktwt
Made it beyond my reading target for the first time in ages.
Honestly, think I may make a list ranking books as some books haven't got their recognition simply because of when they were read
Empire of the Vampire by @misterkristoff is a worthy winner though!

Heir of Fire
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The way this series is developing from just a singular location & a fight to the death competition in book 1 to the sweeping locations, worlds & breadth of characters that are so carefully sprinkled in with such intricate backgrounds are just 🤌
#booktwt
The son of Neptune
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Just a quick review whilst rounding out the year.
Solid, well written, and very enjoyable read. Glad to have the return of some of the OG characters from the first series!
