I'm SURE we will get somewhere eventually but I'm getting more and more frustrated with Vivenna's POVs. The only thing she really did herself is going to that city, everything else was someone else's decision and she's just... There :/

I am a little obsessed with first lines in literature. Do you guys have any favourite opening lines in books? Either because they immediately drew you in or because they were particularly clever?

One of my favourites is from A Darker Shade of Magic: "Kell wore a very peculiar coat. It had neither one side, which would be conventional, nor two, which would be unexpected, but several, which was, of course, impossible."

Or, a very famous one, from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: "The story so far: in the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

I randomly came across this book on PB and then a character in TSITP was "reading" the book in one of the episodes so I decided to look it up on PG and then really it was Fantasy's review of the book that sold me and then I absolutely had to read it.

Hiii everyone! 😄 I was all set to dive into Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson, but I just spotted it’s got some YA and romance vibes, which aren’t really my cuppa tea (I’m all about that high fantasy life, no mushy stuff!). Do the romance and YA feel super prominent, or is it more of a side note in an otherwise epic adventure? I’m so torn right now! 😭 Any thoughts?

The king is about to be introduced and I know everyone has been painting him to be this cold monster, BUT I can't help but wonder what if he's a dork. Or just a spoiled, clueless royal. Or maybe even a young teen who's just as scared as his bride with the whole thing?

(...I'm just really hoping we don't have another Khal Drogo or someone worse)

Got a few recommendations to add some books here recently, so I wanted to put out a question - when y'all look at the list of books in this quest, is there anything that you feel is just criminally missing??
