Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf
This was such a fun read. I absolutely loved Zera's character, she was a fantastic protagonist and I really empathized with her struggles throughout the book. I loved her relationship with Lady Y'Shennria mainly because I am absolutely in love with the trope of a grumpy old person who lost a family member adopting a sassy daughter and growing to love her despite how cantankerous they are. I loved the world-building so so much. There are cat-lizard assassins called celeons who ride gigantic insects. Pale creatures called Beneathers that live underground and fight hellish beasts called valkerax. I have a feeling those will come into play in the next book. The mystery behind Varia's death was fun, I loved Fione and her determination to get justice for her lost love. I loved Prince Lucien and his secret Robin Hood ways. This was a great surprise as I went into this with zero expectations only to really love this

being a jujutsu sorcerer and a parent rarely ends well. sorcerers who have to fight for their lives everyday barely have any time and energy even for themselves. adding babies to the picture is hard to imagine.
but gojo was determined to balance his work and personal life when you entered his life, which is why he has a baby girl strapped to his chest as he holds up his hand and crosses his fingers, already to send a special grade curse into his domain.
"daddy~" his baby babbles, cheek squished against his purple uniform.
"yes, baby?" gojo smiles down at his baby and gently sweeps her hair out of her eyes. he pays little to no attention to the curse, who had already spread out their domain and is currently sending wave after wave of attacks, all of which gojo repels with a touch. "this is domain expansion," he gently explains to her, smirking at the curse who is obviously offended that he wasn't taking them seriously. "in a second, you're gonna see daddy's domain."
his baby blinks and shuffles around in the strap, whining a bit as she tries to get comfortable. for all she knows, it's too dark and hot and she misses mommy's smell.
before she knows it, the space around her begins to look like the night sky, and she can't see the curse anymore.
"this is my domain," her daddy says, but she misses seeing the sun. why is it nighttime all of the sudden?
"nooo" she whines as she kicks around. where's the ice cream he promised her earlier? and where is mommy? she doesn't want to go to sleep yet!
"not easily impressed, hm?" he laughs, protectively holding his baby's head against his chest as he closes up his domain after finishing off the curse.
"let's go get ice cream, yeah?" he ruffles her hair and holds up her hands, dancing them up in the air with a huge grin. the sunlight hits her face again and a smile quickly reappears. "you did so good today. did you learn a lot about jujutsu fights today? did'ja enjoy our little adventure together?"
"ice cweam" she smiles, doing a few happy kicks. and that's how the tradition of getting ice cream after missions started for the daddy-daughter pair.

Love Malachite in Bring Me Their Hearts and Find Me Their Bones.
Not sure I understand him in the last book.
First of all, it’s the way he talks. This has got to be what drags the book’s quality down the most. Sure, Mal (not Oretsev) has always been more casual and laid-back than the rest of the characters, but things like “gonna”, “wanna”, “whadyya know” and so on? He was never this casual and modern in the first two books.
Also, Mal really has no reason to pick fights with Yorl, but he does anyway. Yorl is proud of his education and likes to give more information than necessary, sure, but nothing he ever says warrants the rude remarks from Malachite. These exchanges are probably meant to create tension and serve as a shortcut to friendship for these two. Not sure they work, though.
