Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2)

Sarah J. Maas

"A line that should never be crossed is about to be breached. It puts this entire castle in jeopardy—and the life of your friend." From the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul as black as pitch. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil. Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her closest relationships suffer. It seems no one is above questioning her allegiances—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart. Then one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to give up the very thing most precious to her and decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie... and whom she is ultimately willing to fight for.

How do you use the Discover tab?

Every day, I scroll through the Discover tab to find out what's on the featured emoji list, most discussed, most finished and most TBR'd yesterday ... so it got me thinking, how do you use the discover section? Have you been influenced in your reading choices by what's in there? Have you found new books this way? Or are you like me and count how many books are already in your library on those pages to see if you can beat your personal best?

The Starless Sea

Erin Morgenstern

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Night Circus, a timeless love story set in a secret underground world—a place of pirates, painters, lovers, liars, and ships that sail upon a starless sea. Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues—a bee, a key, and a sword—that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to an ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians—it is a place of lost cities and seas, lovers who pass notes under doors and across time, and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm, relinquishing their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive, and also of those who are intent on its destruction. Together with Mirabel, a fierce, pink-haired protector of the place, and Dorian, a handsome, barefoot man with shifting alliances, Zachary travels the twisting tunnels, darkened stairwells, crowded ballrooms, and sweetly soaked shores of this magical world, discovering his purpose—in both the mysterious book and in his own life.

Pastures New: the joyful new debut novel from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author

Clare Balding

The delightfully down-to-earth debut novel from Clare Balding.Sometimes home is where you least expect it…Alex has perfected the art of dodging responsibility during her almost 40 years — until an unexpected letter turns her life upside down. She’s inherited a crumbling sheep farm in deepest, wettest Wales. This was not her life plan. Not at all. Now, her closest companion is a grumpy Welsh terrier, she’s speed-reading An Idiot’s Guide to Farming, and her arrival has set the village gossip mill spinning. With the farm near collapse and its community now relying on her, Alex sets out to uncover the truth behind her mysterious inheritance. Then she can finally get back to the carefree life she thought she wanted. But as secrets surface, Alex finds her heart pulling her in a direction she never saw coming. Will she pack her bags – or has she landed exactly where she’s meant to be? Brimming with the warmth and wit that has made Clare Balding one of our best-loved TV personalities, Pastures New is a joyful celebration of new beginnings, community, and the delightful surprises of rural life. Acclaim for Clare Balding's 'The reading equivalent of snuggling by the fire with a labrador' The Guardian ‘Funny and moving, James Herriot meets David Sedaris’ The Times ‘Forthright, thoughtful, funny … reads like a Jilly Cooper novel’ Sunday Times

I went into this expecting a cosy, whimsical fantasy plot, but that is certainly not what I got - battles, betrayal and bloodshed are rife throughout. Whilst the beginning was a little slower, the world-building and descriptions were really enjoyable so it never felt too slow. After the halfway point, things really picked up and the plot takes over, with twists and turns all over the place.

It had me laughing from the first paragraph, and manages to maintain some humour despite the trust issues and betrayals that the quest for the crown brings. I really liked the unique idea of a faerie world without creativity and imagination, having to rely on humans to fulfil that for them, as we don't realise how much creativity is involved in day-to-day life, even in cooking a meal, for example.

The themes explored were done really well and there were subtle nods to sustainability of human clothing and materials in the faerie world, which I appreciated. Ultimately, if you enjoy a tale of power-hungry faeries with deception, betrayal and bloodshed, this is the story for you 🧚‍♀️

Thank you to NetGalley, Orbit and Reena McCarty for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

We're in March now!

I use the pagebound plan feature to kind of curate books i most Definitely want to read that month and then leave myself room for some others outwith the plan 🙂‍↕️ So February, i had planned 8 books, out of those 8 i read 7 and dnf'd only 1! very very happy 🐈 I've already got my reading plan sorted for this month and have started on Blood over bright haven to get me into march!

How did everyone elses reading go? Did you manage as much as you expected, or did you find yourself taking it a bit slower? 💐 Do you have any plans for specific books to read this month? ✨️
