#please ignore the fact I use a laundry hamper as a nightside table

[sleep-writes]

I don’t post on this blog much so I might as well post about books

Just finished reading these two! I’ve never read sunwing before but I’m so glad I finally did. What a thrilling continuation of Silverwing. I haven’t read silverwing in years so returning to it was very nostalgic! A lot of things went over my head when I was little, like the gore and brutal politics.

I plan on reading firewing next, then finishing up the series with my all time favourite of the series: Darkwing. The otherworldliness of the Paleocene setting is amazing. Like SW, It’s also been a long time since I’ve read it.

My favourite parts about these books is definitely how visual they are. You can almost see every moment in your mind’s eye, and Kenneth Oppel does not spare details. However it’s done very well so the prose doesn’t seem bloated. I love it.

One thing I found mildly annoying with Sunwing was the bits of recap, and rexplaining concepts from the first book, but that can be forgiven as I imagine readers would need a refresher after waiting for the sequel to come out.

Overall, I love the Silverwing series so far and I’m enjoying it a lot! The definitely are that kind of book you can’t put down or stop thinking about
