This was a very enjoyable book. The premise of the story, the imperfectness of Aelis, and the intrigue of the mysteries Aelis uncovers throughout the book have certainly made me interested in the next book. If you like Dungeons & Dragons, Dragon Age, and sword & magic adventures, I think you'll enjoy this book.

A solid book. I enjoyed the unique narration style with the ‘we.’ It reminded me of ‘The Buddha in the Attic,’ another novel dealing with a unique culture dealing with the United States.

She turned him into a library?? I'm sure there's some symbolism in there that I might reflect on, but I did not expect her to turn him into a library.

This was another fun romance from T. Kingfisher that mixes both the dark (murder, horrors, kidnapping, and death) and the light (a cat-sized toad, a snake oil salesman with a heart of gold, and attempts at canoodling). I really enjoyed this installation in The Saint of Steel series and can't wait to read the next one. 

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
Did not finish book. Stopped at 57%.

The short and pithy nature of the chapters wasn't engaging enough for me to read the book all the way through, but I did appreciate all of the suggestions in Kondo's book! I highly recommend picking it up if you need suggestions on how to tidy up your living space.
