Having said that, I still feel like there were some unanswered questions from the wider world as a whole, and I wanted to know more about the developing powers etc. I guess that means I might have to read the last trilogy in this world.... if it's as good as this duology that won't be a problem....

The character work is top tier. We had multilayered individuals who weren't your standard "morally good"/ can do no wrong YA characters. These characters felt more real, even though some of them had magic. The relationships were amazing and I'll miss being in their company.

Six of Crows Duology by Leigh Bardugo

4/5 stars

YA Fantasy- heist story, found family

I had an amazing time with this duology. See a short review in my comments.

She who became the Sun.... Although I haven't finished it yet, but I love it ☺️

The last third of the book finally picked up the pace, offering exciting moments and some plot progression. I'll likely continue the series, as the reviews for the next book are more positive. However, as a whole, *Empire of Silence* didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

That said, the book kept me reading because of the promise of something greater. The world-building was impressive, with rich details and an expansive scope that kept me intrigued. I enjoyed the exploration of the history, language, and the hints at a potential prophecy or alien religion.

This is a prequel that feels like a sprawling, overly long, and meandering origin story. There were moments when I felt the narrative dragged on unnecessarily, with certain characters lacking purpose and the plot feeling like it was spinning its wheels. Honestly, I found myself bored for much of it.

Day 12

I haven't read that one yet. I read The Ninth House a few years ago and didn't love it. But it's one of the only genre books on there. Maybe I'll try it.

It was brilliant. You feel like you know everyone in this community so well. It's heartbreaking too!

It's great! The original mixed media/ found footage narrative

April: No 5 stars, but some solid reads. Stepped out of my comfort zone with thrillers. But what an ending to the Mistborn Trilogy!

For anyone wondering how my reading weekend has gone..... I'm having to dip back into this to try and calm myself about my littlest's sleep issues and my bigger baby's fight for control 🤦‍♀️
