#The Vanished Queen #Lisbeth Campbell #📚 #oh ouch LMAO #despite my longstanding love of fantasy royal settings i have always had. issues. w the royal characters depicted LMAO. #maybe its bc of the lifelong irony that ive felt&joked about in relation to my own name??? it isnt my fault i was named after the wrong #character in aladin so now we all have to deal w my streetrat jokes&princess quips LMAO. #but anyway this is the first of these types of books that ive read in a sec that had such a relatable prince character LMAO. #i can appreciate the trend towards books centering royalty+political intrigue to end w a dissolution of that royalty. but also #it can get... tiring having the same basic premise be that the royalty in question is forced to reckon w how fucking awful their bloodline #specifically has made things for their own ppl-- usually finding this all out against their will&in between feeling massively sorry #for themselves while also defending their family&core beliefs before finally coming to terms w the fact that things need to change lmao. #i understand the message+whatever&respect the trope value. it just. is the most frustrating part of these sorts of stories for me lmao. #bc this book centers on a tyrant king there's no moment of needing to reckon w beliefs being disproven or reworked to accommodate how badly #things are. the understanding of the tyranny is already there so the growth from the princes themselves are more in finding the means to #unseat their father. the growth of the pov prince focuses A Lot on his rage issues-- as the story goes on it becomes more&more clear #that his disinterest in the throne isnt only out of loyalty to his brother its also bc of this soul deep self-hatred that manifests #more&more in moments of increasingly dangerous&arguably suicidal behaviour. #&someone hating themselves for their impotence+lack of power in a world where they should have all the power is a lot more understandable #to me personally than someone who is forced to realize what harm theyve been apart of causing&their main storyline is coming to terms #w the fact that ppl not being oppressed+viciously abused is more important than a crown LMAO. #anger of various kinds was actually a HUGE theme in this book. it might be why i liked it so much lmao. my ever present anger issues #have been ripping me apart like rabid dogs as of late lmao. it makes me want to claw my skin off. sometimes. lmao. #something something rage is such an amazing source of energy that burns out so fucking hard lmao. human nitrous boost or whatever. #my moms birthday was the other day. maybe im just finally going certifiable.

When a country is held in thrall to a vicious, despotic king, it’s up to one woman to take him down. Long ago, Queen Mirantha vanished. King Karolje claimed it was an assassination by a neighboring king, but everyone knew it was a lie. He had Disappeared her himself. But after finding the missing queen’s diary, Anza—impassioned by her father’s unjust execution and inspired by Mirantha’s words—joins the resistance group to overthrow the king. When an encounter with Prince Esvar thrusts her into a dangerous game of court politics, one misstep could lead to a fate worse than death. Esvar is the second son to an evil king. Trapped under his thumb and desperate for a way out, a chance meeting with Anza gives him the opportunity to join the resistance. Together, they might have the leverage to move against the king—but if they fail, their deaths could mean a total loss of freedom for generations to follow.

Women characters I relate to; challenge.

I want you guys to post the female characters, that you like the most and relate to, and why you relate to them.

These are mine...

1. Camille is my first choice because I've went through the trauma of having to have been in an institution of a cult-like environment where everyone knows everything and uses it against you. I also relate to her personality, her music taste, her taste of fashion, her humour. Camille is just a very likable character for me. And I also have flashbacks like Camille does, and have sex with men I shouldn't have sex with 😩

2. Amy is my second choice because I too want to escape from my normal life, the whole get revenge on your abuser sounds tempting honestly. Sure the girl may have a few flaws such as; she changes her personalities like women change shoes. But everyone makes mistakes right? And she gives SUCH a ingenious monologue in the book about what a cool girl is and how men expect this. Because they do, they do expect this and it's so relatable and could drive anyone insane.

3. Sidney is my third because she's just such a badass, and I aspire to be her. She's a survivor. She's a woman who's been through hell and back, who has so many trust issues and C-PTSD and yet she's always found a way out of that darkness.

4. Lisabeth is my fourth because I just love every aspect about her, I don't even understand why so many people find her weird or unsettling, she's a girl who just wants to seek justice for women, eat her happy meals and be left alone by scumbag men. I relate to her because even though I don't have any tattoos or piercings, I certainly do feel like an outsider most of the time.

I challenge @90sjenniferconnelly to post this <3

Clear My Bookshelf Goal 2024

Since I plan on going back to my Ph.D (if I'm admitted for the 2025 program), I'm starting to formulate a plan to clear out a lot of my belongings (clothes, shoes, etc).

I have way too many books on my shelf and no room for new ones. So my goal for 2024 is to:

1.) Read the books on my shelf

2.) Donate or sell them after I finish reading it

So, I'm making this list so I can hold myself accountable. I'll reblog my progress when a book on my shelf has been read and moved to my donation pile 😊

This will be updated again because these are just the books in my apartment. I have a ton back at my Mom's house that needs to be read through and donated.

This new wallpaper has been designed to boost WFH productivity

You can now buy wallpaper specifically designed to boost productivity while working from home. Botanical Wallpaper teamed up with Poodle & Blonde to launch a luxury wallpaper for the home office named ‘Magic Hours’. Botanical Abstract Wallpaper is the first of its kind, complementing the varying daylight in our home offices – whether this means an entire room or the corner of the living room. As Floral Wallpaper go, we have to say this is one of the chicest we have stumbled upon. Tropical Leaves Wallpaper -boosting wallpaper for the home office VELUX worked with Whinnie Williams and Kierra Campbell from luxury, retro-inspired homeware brand Poodle & Blonde to create this limited-edition collection. The range has three colourways, each drawing inspiration from how the light changes over the course of the day. The Magic Hours colourways The Golden Hour The orange and caramel tones of this paper take inspiration from the golden hour, AKA mother nature’s filter. Leaves Wallpaper and deep pinks evoke the moment when the last of the daylight turns to moonlight. The Blue Hour When the sun’s last rays create subtle hues of blue. Each wallpaper for the home office has a texture that reflects light, and gorgeous wood-grain print. The gentle contours add interest and a sense of depth, great if you’re looking for small home office ideas to spruce up your space. Plus, studies show looking at wood can lower our blood pressure. So this natural pattern is bound to make us feel a little calmer when logging onto important calls. Because whether we like it or not, almost half (46%) of us are still working from home 5 days a week. ‘At VELUX , we’re committed to helping homeowners transform the spaces they spend the most time in. This collaboration with Poodle & Blonde allows us to do just that,’ says Lisbeth Collignon from VELUX . Vintage Abstract Wallpaper and Kierra say that they jumped at the opportunity to work with this well-known brand. Vintage Wallpaper is Golden Hour, ‘simply because it conjures a real sense of warmth and light, which we’re always drawn to, especially when designing a space that is used for both living and working.

ARC DNF Review: The Vanished Queen by Lisbeth Campbell

I really wanted to like this book. The blurb and description were so promising, and it has a gorgeous cover, but the story fell very, very flat for me and I ultimately decided to DNF.

There's this evil king - Karolje - except... we never actually see him being evil. We are told that he is evil, but all he does is sit on his throne being too-thin and on the way to dying.

Then we have two princes who - we are told - are resisting him. A resistance fighter who - we are told - is part of the resistance.

Pretty much nothing actually happens. The characters think a lot, and recall things, and think about how awful the king is and how they're going to resist... and that's it for the first 15% of the book. I honestly couldn't force myself through any more of it because it was a slog.

Also the writing-- besides being long-winded and very Tell-not-show-- is choppy. Full of short sentences. One on top of the other. Kind of like this. Occasionally there will be a long sentence, or an attempt at a more flowery description, but overall it is painfully flat.

*Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for providing an e-arc to review.

Trying the First Chapter

I decided I need a place to record my thoughts after trying the first chapters because sometimes I forget I read them. So, why not use my blog?

Welcome to the posts where I judge books based on the first chapter in order to know which one to read first or if I should buy them on the next sale.

The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander

The first in the five middle grade book series named The Chronicles of Prydain. This ended up on my list when I searched for coming of age fantasy stories and all I know about it is that there is an ok Disney movie based on the series. I still wish more adult books did this concept.

4/5 - YES. Ok, I know this is traditional fantasy, but it had no business feeling so cosy. I really liked the 3 characters introduced and there is one character named Math that is set for readers to dislike him (probably). Once again, starting with a really young character and seeing the bond between them and those who care for them is a win to me. Honestly, I want to get to this book not that far in the future.

"I think there is a destiny laid on me that I am not to know anything interesting, or do anything interesting. I'm certainly not to be anything. I'm not anything even at Caer Dallben!"

The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud

I've heard a lot about the Bartimaeus Trilogy but never read the books. Another middle grade book.

THIS ONE DOESN'T HAVE A PREVIEW AVAILABLE :(

Edit: 3/5 - YES. Intriguing first chapter. It might be fun.

Sabriel by Garth Nix

The first book in the Old Kingdom series and I just noticed the 6th book was published in 2021. Is this still on going??? YA series.

2/5 -PASS. Ok, this one didn't work for me. I didn't really like the prologue or the way chapter one started. The writing style is too simple and starts already with plot and exposition happening when I rather be slowly immersed into it (like the Book of Three did). The writing style is also too casual and simple for my taste so I don't think I would enjoy a long story like this.

Green Rider by Kristen Britain

The first in the series of the same name and I also noticed the seventh book came out in 2021. Is this still going? Another YA.

3/5 - MAYBE. You can tell I prefer first person POV because I got tired of reading "the grey one". At least "I" it's so short I can almost ignore it. I am unsure about this one, but I am in no hurry to get to it. I know fantasy authors like to start with a bang, but to me a character moment takes you much further than some "cool" moment. Also, can you believe the middle grade book is winning against YA? I actually can because I keep saying middle grade sometimes can be more nuanced than some YA... Still, this one is a maybe.

The Vanished Queen by Lisbeth Campbell

A STANDALONE!

3/5 - PASS. One of those that start in the middle of something, which can be hit or miss for me. In this case I am not impressed and these are too many characters that I do not care about at once. I am inclined to say no because it feels very meh so there it is.

Magic's Pawn by Mercedes Lackey

I don't know where to start with this author. This is the first in the Valdemar: The Last Herald-Mage trilogy.

2/5 - PASS. I really am not a fan of books starting with a line of dialogue and I cannot believe the lines of text I had to read before Vanyel gave an answer back. Decisions I didn't like were made... this guy is too much focused on the telling instead of the showing, isn't he? I sense an emo boy. It's a no from me.

The Court of Broken Knives by Anna Smith Spark

The first in what I think it's a trilogy called Empires of Dust. Grimdark.

3/5 - PASS. Oooh this one starts with setting the scene and instead of focusing of the action it focuses on what's going on through a character's head during the action. It's a bit too edgy for my taste, but I like the use of repetition for emphasis here until it gets too much. There is a feeling of glorification of violence given the perspective, but I am not sure if this is multiple POV and how distinct the other characters are. All I can say is that these kind of books make me appreciate Joe Abercrombie even more because the Bloody Nine feels terrifying and not like a weird teen with a sharp knife. I don't think I could ready many pages of this.

Blackwing by Ed McDonald

First in what I think it's a trilogy called Raven's Mark.

4/5 - YES. Now that's how it's done. Even though firearms are not my preference I can deal with it if the rest is good. The funny thing is that it seems like this book is going to be about war and so far there is only one woman and yet I really enjoyed it. The writing style was pretty good and flowed nicely. I liked the dialogue and already feel like I know two of the characters. I am also left with some questions like "What's a Bride? What's a Darling?" Pretty good setup.

"Back when I wore a uniform, the marshal told me only three kinds of people willingly enter the Misery: the desperate, the stupid, and the greedy."

By Force Alone by Lavie Tidhar

I heard this was a dark twisted retelling of King Arthur and the second is a take on Robin Hood. Sounded good.

4/5 - YES. The first chapter is really short so I skimmed the second and it was pretty good. I really like this Merlin.

'You have a mouth on you, don't you boy.' 'Yet here I am,' the boy says, and laughs, and lifts his arms to rattle at the iron chains. 'You have a name?' 'Who doesn't?' 'May I enquire what it is?' 'What's in a name,' the boy says. 'By giving names to things we lose perception, a way to see more clearly. We give a name to things and think, by doing so, we know them.' 'His name is Merlin, sire.' (...) 'Look, sire, bash my head or set me free, but I grow tired of this conversation.'

See? Helpful. Some books out of my tbr and three promising ones. This really makes me realize what works and what doesn't for me.

#first chapter trial #by force alone #blackwing #the court of broken knives #the vanished queen #green rider #sabriel #magic's pawn #the book of three #mixing middle grade with grimdark because that's how we roll #by comparing first chapters it's even more noticeable when something isn't working for me #some grabbed me from page one and others took a bit more and others never grabbed me
