OK, so I got 67 posts in 7 days, it was a pretty great read, I read a lot, and yeah, I had a good time, and over the weekend I put an application to adopt two doggies, so fingers crossed that things go well! What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read The Study Chronicles.

“Then what were you waiting for?”

He turned to her. “You.”

Week 48 Review: Damsel

From Goodreads:
The rite has existed for as long as anyone can remember: when the prince-who-will-be-king comes of age, he must venture out into the gray lands, slay a fierce dragon, and rescue a damsel to be his bride. This is the way things have always been.

When Ama wakes in the arms of Prince Emory, however, she knows none of this. She has no memory of what came before she was captured by the dragon, or what horrors she has faced in its lair. She knows only this handsome prince, the story he tells of her rescue, and her destiny to sit on the throne beside him. Ama comes with Emory back to the kingdom of Harding, hailed as the new princess, welcomed to the court.

However, as soon as her first night falls, she begins to realize that not all is as it seems, that there is more to the legends of the dragons and the damsels than anyone knows–and that the greatest threats to her life may not be behind her, but here, in front of her.

My first review of Damsel
My Review:
Reading this book was just absolutely fantastic! I loved it the first time, it's a really powerful feminist story, that just raises my hackles at the unfairness and awful way that women are treated in this book-espcailly the ones that started out as dragons.

Honestly, I was a bit scared to read this book again It was on the best books that I read in 2018, I think one of the books that started off mentioning by best books within my massive list, the standouts. I knew it wasn't going to be as great this time, standouts only happen the first time. But I was hoping I would love it again, and I did! 

Guys already use their privates as weapons all the time, but I typically don't think of it from that framework. I'm not one to notice symbolism and such, so I'm not confident in thinking that there's a message in that choice with the princes and dragons.

The way that she's dismissed and treated as lesser than, it was rage-inducing. Knowing the truth, that she was the dragon that he had fought, made things worse and better, knowing that they would get their just desserts and she got the life that she chose for herself.

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read more by Elana K. Arnold!

Week 47 Review: The Blood Years

From Goodreads:

Frederieke Teitler and her older sister, Astra, live in a house, in a city, in a world divided. Their father ran out on them when Rieke was only six, leaving their mother a wreck and their grandfather as their only stable family. He's done his best to provide for them and shield them from antisemitism, but now, seven years later, being a Jew has become increasingly dangerous, even in their beloved home of Czernowitz, long considered a safe haven for Jewish people. And when Astra falls in love and starts pulling away from her, Rieke wonders if there's anything in her life she can count on—and, if so, if she has the power to hold on to it.

Then—war breaks out in Europe. First the Russians, then the Germans, invade Czernowitz. Almost overnight, Rieke and Astra’s world changes, and every day becomes a struggle: to keep their grandfather's business, to keep their home, to keep their lives. Rieke has long known that she exists in a world defined by those who have power and those who do not, and as those powers close in around her, she must decide whether holding on to her life might mean letting go of everything that has ever mattered to her—and if that's a choice she will even have the chance to make.

Based on the true experiences of her grandmother's childhood in Holocaust-era Romania, award-winning author Elana K. Arnold weaves an unforgettable tale of love and loss in the darkest days of the twentieth century—and one young woman's will to survive them.

My Review:
Oh man, this book! I love Elana K. Arnold's writing so much, but I was a bit apprehensive, because the real life war in this book was hard, and the way Jews were treated was horrendous. That the author's grandmother lived though experiences that inspired this book...it was tough. But we need books like this.

Really, Astra was a very unlikable character. That Rieke was born to give Astra a companion, because she was such a difficult child, says a lot. I know they're sisters and they love each other, but the way that Astra treats Rieke, no. You don't treat someone you love that way.

This was an amazing read and I can't wait to read more by Elana K. Arnold!

Waiting on Wednesday #643, September 6th

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating! 
 

Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare

Expected Publication: October 10th, 2023
From Goodreads:

Two outcasts find themselves at the center of world-altering change in the start of a riveting epic fantasy series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Shadowhunter Chronicles.

In the vibrant city-state of Castellane, the richest of nobles and the most debauched of criminals have one thing in common: the constant search for wealth, power, and the next hedonistic thrill.

Kel is an orphan, stolen from the life he knew to become the Sword-Catcher—the body-double of a royal heir, Prince Conor Aurelian. He has been raised alongside the prince, trained in every aspect of combat and statecraft. He and Conor are close as brothers, but Kel knows he has one destiny: to die for Conor. No other future is possible.

Lin Caster is one of the Ashkar, a small community who still possess magical abilities. By law, they must live behind walls in the city, but Lin, a physician, ventures out to tend to the sick and dying of Castellane. Despite her skills, she cannot heal her best friend Mariam without access to forbidden knowledge.

After a failed assassination attempt brings Lin and Kel together, they are drawn into the web of the mysterious Ragpicker King, the criminal ruler of Castellane’s underworld. He offers them each what they want most; but as they descend into his world of intrigue and shadow, they discover a conspiracy of corruption that reaches from the darkest gutters of Castellane to the highest tower of its palaces. As long-kept secrets begin to unravel, they must ask themselves: Is knowledge worth the price of betrayal? Can forbidden love bring down a kingdom? And will Lin and Kel’s discoveries plunge their nation into war—and the world into chaos?

From Goodreads:

Frederieke Teitler and her older sister, Astra, live in a house, in a city, in a world divided. Their father ran out on them when Rieke was only six, leaving their mother a wreck and their grandfather as their only stable family. He’s done his best to provide for them and shield them from antisemitism, but now, seven years later, being a Jew has become increasingly dangerous, even in their beloved home of Czernowitz, long considered a safe haven for Jewish people. And when Astra falls in love and starts pulling away from her, Rieke wonders if there’s anything in her life she can count on—and, if so, if she has the power to hold on to it.

Then—war breaks out in Europe. First the Russians, then the Germans, invade Czernowitz. Almost overnight, Rieke and Astra’s world changes, and every day becomes a struggle: to keep their grandfather’s business, to keep their home, to keep their lives. Rieke has long known that she exists in a world defined by those who have power and those who do not, and as those powers close in around her, she must decide whether holding on to her life might mean letting go of everything that has ever mattered to her—and if that’s a choice she will even have the chance to make.

Based on the true experiences of her grandmother’s childhood in Holocaust-era Romania, award-winning author Elana K. Arnold weaves an unforgettable tale of love and loss in the darkest days of the twentieth century—and one young woman’s will to survive them.

Welcome to the School of Here, an unsettling and peculiar place that is nonetheless familiar to us all. A place full of codes and unspoken rules that are passed down from year to year.

A self-effacing first-year student vanishes into thin air. A persecuted outsider delivers himself into permanent exile. A tyrannical upperclassman meets his match.

Back to school season marks the start of a time-honored cycle of revolution and rebirth in which each must play their part.
