The book bug bit me, and I've been itching ever since.
It's January, so that means it's time to set this year's Goodreads Reading Challenge goal. And this year, I'm aiming low. Two years ago, I was substitute teaching, and I read 80 books. This past year, I was teaching full time, and I managed to read 50 books. This year, I'll still be teaching full …

This was an excellent conclusion to Kelsea's story. The pacing was good, and I felt like the flashback scenes to the original settlement made more sense than the flashback scenes in The Invasion of the Tearling.

This read like a short story collection with a throughline, rather than a novel. It really felt like there were four or five stories that Carter had wanted to write, and she decided to connect them all into one plot, rather than just tell each of those stories on their own.

In this collection of short stories, Angela Carter takes a feminist, supernatural, slightly creepy slant on several different classic fairy- and folktales, including "Little Red Riding Hood", "Beauty and the Beast", and "Puss in Boots".
Enne Salta is a proper young lady, and nothing would make her even consider stepping foot in New Reynes. Except, perhaps, to search for her mother. Enne's search leads her not only to the City of Sin, but right into the company of street lord and con man Levi Glaisyer.
This book was beautiful, and I feel like a picture of the front cover should be included in the dictionary next to the entry for "bittersweet". This story looks not only at the Iranian diaspora and the experiences of refugees, but also at what happens to those who are left behind - or who choose to stay behind.
