    Glad that I followed through with finishing this trilogy. This was a well executed fantasy series with a fun take on gods and magic interfering with the lives of mortals. It didn't break the mold, but it definitely filled it well.

  • do you place a limit on your tbr?

    i think i'm approaching a point where i'm starting to heedlessly add books to my tbr. not a big deal but i originally intended to be more thoughtful about the books i was adding (i.e., am i realistically going to read this?) but then i came across a bunch of books (mostly historical fantasy, retellings, and nature non-fiction) that skyrocketed my tbr to nearly 100 books in the span of a few days lol. so in an effort to actually make progress on my tbr, i'm setting my limit to 100 books.

    does anyone else place limits on their tbr? or are you the type to just add whatever remotely catches your interest?

    This is a fun seasonal YA graphic novel with gorgeous artwork and an appropriately spooky color palette. Any fans of Sleepy Hollow adaptations should feel right at home.

  • How often do you reread books?

    Or I suppose, alternatively, do you reread books?

    I've been on this book buying ban since 2020 where I only buy a book if I have read it and would want to reread it. I also had multiple "cleanouts" of my bookshelves around this time so I was left, again, only with books I am interested in rereading at some stage. I only kept minimal books I hadn't read yet that I was still interested in trying.

    But in saying this, I don't actually reread books I own too often. Without fact checking myself, I'd guess only around 1-5 books a year. Usually it's if I have fallen into a reading slump and want to get back into reading.

    Call me a sucker for an animal companion and pretty art. This came out to be sort of a fable, but people who enjoy this aren't going to be focused on the plot. The plot is super cliche fantasy vibes, but again. Pretty art. Pretty wolf. Generally positive vibes about my experience with it and would read the next volume.

    This series is probably my least favorite of the Rick Riordan books. I'm not entirely sure why, but I wasn't fond of following Sadie and Carter. It's still a perfectly acceptable read, just mildly disappointing considering how much I otherwise enjoy the Riordanverse.
