You didn’t think we were going to stay silent during the current dragon frenzy, did you? We absolutely have things to say about dragon heroes, and the one from Thea Harrison’s Dragon Bound in particular — which meant we had no choice but to do a surprise deep dive, read along! We talk about dragon shifters, about the history of dragons in romance, about why we think this is a near perfect example of paranormal romance and road trip romance. Also, if you are looking for rom com, look no further. This is a funny funny book.

“We have to kill them.” It wasn’t right but they were quite possibly in the worst situation that called for kill or be killed. He had a chance to be reborn. She wasn’t sure she had that.

Weekly Reading Update (01/15/23)

Reviews and thoughts under the cut

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (10/10)

It's been a year since I reread Howl's Moving Castle and that's a bit too long in my opinion. This time it was with my book club, and it was so fun to see everyone's reactions to the story. I feel like every time I read this book I notice something new about Sophie's character or the magic or the romance. I just love this novel so much, the characters and plot are all just amazing and it has such a unique, comforting feel. Diana Wynne Jones is a master of the fantasy genre, and I have yet to read a book by her I didn't like.

Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett (9/10)

This was a lovely continuation to the adventures of Emily Wilde. She's still a stellar protagonist with a really strong voice and lots of tangible flaws while still being incredibly likable. As usual, her dynamic with Wendell, both in a platonic and romantic way, is top tier; they really have me giggling and kicking my feet during this books. There are two new major side characters, who introduce a lot of good character conflict, and the return of some old favorites from Encyclopaedia of Faeries. The beginning is a little wonky in terms of pacing, but there are some great subplots in this one and some surprising throughlines from the previous book.

The Evil Queen by Gena Showalter (8/10)

Another reread, I think I'm just in the mood for fantasy romances. I will be completely honest and say that this book is a guilty pleasure of mine. I cannot look anyone in the eye and say this is well-written, but it certainly is enjoyable. Gena Showalter writes some really good chemistry, even if Everly and Roth are the fantasy equivalent of that one high school couple that can't stop getting mad at each other and breaking up before getting back together again. There's a lot of wish fulfillment in this story, and it's just a fun time for me.

Wolf-Speaker by Tamora Pierce (CR, 68%)

While I love this series, Wolf-Speaker was always my least favorite in the series. However, my opinion of it is improving because a) the message of unity and Daine's character growth are really good and b) I'm listening to an audiobook and it has a full cast and just has great voice acting. Unfortunately, I'm at a point in the book where Daine and Numair have been separated for a while, and I won't lie, I love his character and I'm missing him.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation Vol. 4 by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (CR, 12%)

I'm so excited to finish up the MXTX novels! I've been putting them off because I wanted to read my physical copies thanks to the beautiful illustrations, and I've been abroad without them. I am kind of nervous about this one because I'm fairly certain this one includes the end of Wei Wuxian 1.0, which is going to be so painful to read. Still, I'm really excited to finish this one and Heaven Official's Blessing!

ALRIGHT i’m rereading the Gena Showalter Lord of the Underworld series - yes its smut shut up - but i’m just... SO CONFUSED. 

the mythos. the lore. the plot. i dont get it. 

its very greek centered but there’s also angels in it. there’s heaven and hell and hades and tartarus which are all different places. 

the lords themselves? immortal warrior - WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? are they angels? no. they just say warrior. they were created but they also had very human flaws immediately. they killed pandora over fucking pride and greed. but they were MADE. 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What is your favorite childhood book and what is your favorite book currently?

My favorite childhood book is actually two different books. They changed the way I read, and they just mean a lot to my brain equally. Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale and Seven Tears Into The Sea.

My favorite book is actually never one at a time tbh so I will name three for my recent favs. The Darkest Part of the Forest (Holly Black can take my soul away I'm in love with her writing), Lifeblood, and You'd Be Home Now.

Special shout out to BITCH by Lucy Cooke that shit was phenomenal. She is so funny, yet so informative.

“… But true joy isn’t a state of mind or even a feeling. It’s a weapon you wield. It stands up to fear and says, ‘No. You won’t come near me.’ It butts head with defeat and says, ‘I can do anything, despite the odds.’ You have it inside you, desperate for release, but you must choose to see your situation through its eyes. You must be diligent and watch over your land. Pull the weeds - grief and sorrow - when they try to grow.”

Firstlife by Gena Showalter ~ Book Review!!

Firstlife is the first book in the Everlife trilogy. It takes place in a world where when you die your spirit goes to one of two realms, that you sign with while living, or you go to the torturous land of the unsigned. I’m not sure exactly how to categorize it, but the genre seems contemporary paranormal sci-fi, it’s unique for sure! This book has to do with death, and there’s a lot of it in…
