    am i the only one who's not fully convinced on this book???? i love the vibes and schwab's writing is always top notch but the story itself isn't doing it for me....

    First of all, loving the fact that, as they're from the Ninth House, their last names start with different prefixes that mean nine!!!!!

    Encouragement for those just starting out...

    I onlystarted loving this book after 200 pages, and it is now one of my all-time beloveds. It is a MASTERCLASS on worldbuilding, and the characters are SO loveable ((or hateable, in one case)) if you are patient and get to know them. It's worth it, I promise; the prequel-sequel is even BETTER.

  • The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi (Amina al-Sirafi, #1)

    Edited
    I finished it and yet could never talk about it

    I seriously need more people on this book, or reading Shannon Chakraborty altogether because this specific one got me back into reading, I have a special bond to it x) but I also completely fell in love with the Daevabad universe... anyways, THIS IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH. I never knew I needed this, but a main cast of grumpy middle aged/old and retired pirates bickering on a ship to pursue a quest they did not want to follow in the first place ? Loved it. Want more. The mere fact that Amina is 40ish, has a daughter and a bad knee makes her one of my favorite fantasy main characters of all the books I've read, and I wonder if anyone feels the same =)
