Have loved reading for as long as I can remember. Fantasy (epic and urban) and sci-fi books are my true loves. Actively working to decolonize my bookshelf.

I really liked this one! My only slight complaint is having never seen Enterprise some of the Archer storyline stuff I didn't quite follow. It was generally explained well enough but not fully.
Oooo this was GOOOOOD. I cannot wait for the next one.

It's sad, I love Discworld... but the last two Witch books just don't grab me. I think a lot of that has to do with how he writes about fat people. Probably like Maskerade I will come back to this at a later date and eventually finish it, but for now I'm going to read something else.
Content warning I wish Perdita had stayed at the opera and been seen for who she really was. And just been loved and adored and didn't lose weight.
I'm not sure I loved the end of this one. I mean I do adore Discworld with all my heart. But there's a thick, thick line of fatphobia through this book which I really could have done without. It maybe wouldn't have bothered me AS much if the ending was different, more accepting. As it is, I doubt I shall reread this one.
Even better the second time around!
Forgot how much I absolutely adored the final scene.

I think this is probably an awesome book... but it's not the right book for me right now.

I think I loved the last bit of this book more than all the rest of it together. What a great ending.

A totally different storyline, disconnected from the first except by the main character (who I adore). So I think you could easily read these in any order. That said, I loved it. These books are like a love letter to the art of the bard.

Finally in at the library! Yay!
I really enjoyed this book. The culture of it was in some ways familiar as Jess seeks to appease her family and has to hide a lot of herself from them. But also loved reading a book set in a country not my own, about experiences and mythology unfamiliar to me. I just wish the ending had felt more... full. It was a great ending, don't get me wrong. I'm just, I like that after-bit. I want it to work out and get to SEE it worked out. The ending does make me wonder if she's planning a sequel, maybe.
Loving this so far. There's a lot about Jess's situation with her family that strikes a chord with me.

This is not a soft book. This book tugs at the parts of me that survived abusive family, exboyfriends, cancer... That has lost jobs for speaking up against "those jokes".
I adored it. It's about the power women (and yes this book means ALL WOMEN) have when they come together against their oppressor.
I think I need to go read it again...
