We Have the Cover of The Middlemist Trilogy #1!!!!

OK, so I got 52 posts in 7 days, and it was a pretty good week, I read some really excellent books. And Dobby's surgery went well, even if it was right at the end of the day, and caused some stress. And he's been healing fine, and he's at the point where if he's supervised, he doesn't have to wear the cone of shame, so that's good! What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read Ruby Fever!

#1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews is back with the newest book in the exciting Hidden Legacy series—the thrilling conclusion to her trilogy featuring fierce and beautiful Prime magic user Catalina Baylor.

An escaped spider, the unexpected arrival of an Imperial Russian Prince, the senseless assassination of a powerful figure, a shocking attack on the supposedly invincible Warden of Texas, Catalina’s boss... And it’s only Monday.

Within hours, the fate of Houston—not to mention the House of Baylor—now rests on Catalina, who will have to harness her powers as never before. But even with her fellow Prime and fiancé Alessandro Sagredo by her side, she may not be able to expose who’s responsible before all hell really breaks loose.

Week 33 Review: Battle of the Linguist Mages

From Goodreads:

In modern day Los Angeles, a shadowy faction led by the Governor of California develops the arcane art of combat linguistics, planting the seeds of a future totalitarian empire.

Isobel is the Queen of the medieval rave-themed VR game Sparkle Dungeon. Her prowess in the game makes her an ideal candidate to learn the secrets of "power morphemes"—unnaturally dense units of meaning that warp perception when skillfully pronounced.

But Isobel's reputation makes her the target of a strange resistance movement led by spellcasting anarchists, who may be the only thing stopping the cabal from toppling California over the edge of a terrible transformation, with forty million lives at stake.

Time is short for Isobel to level up and choose a side—because the cabal has attracted much bigger and weirder enemies than the anarchist resistance, emerging from dark and vicious dimensions of reality and heading straight for planet Earth!

My Review:
I enjoyed this book! It was so weird though, and oh, was it dense, which made sense given what was going on, with the power morphemes. So much happened in this book, there were so many game changing elements-and then it add another one on top of it all. It was wild! And with everything going on, there was still time for various social commentary, like government and rebellions, which was awesome.

Isobel is a kick ass Queen in the video game, but in real life, she's lacking a purpose. And then she gets this job, starts learning about the power morphemes. It really gave her a chance to grow confidence in herself, with how she dealt with everything. 

With every part, the world and the scope got bigger, more intense, and mind-boggling. Starting with the power morphemes, and what they can do, to the different dimensions of reality, and it just kept going! There were several moments where my main reaction was "what the" and I just had to go along for the ride.

The ending was really great, I loved how she used her skills for a plan that worked in some regards. And that final face off, loved how that worked out. I would've liked a little bit more of a conclusion, because there was so much still left to resolve, like Violet and Alexander. Oh, well! 

I enjoyed this book, and I can't wait to see what Scotto Moore writes next!

Teaser Tuesday #592, August 16th

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Today's teaser comes from Battle of the Linguist Mages by Scotto Moore, page 15.

"It seemed harmless; people soon forgot about it. Life in the Realm continued at its typical steady pace of 125 beast per minute."

That seemed seems ominous, must read more now! What about you guys? Happy reading!
