This book was everything I wanted The Lost Hero to be. I loved the new characters and meeting Reyna again in her full badass glory was spectacular. These characters were fun and full of backstory and detail.
I am incredibly happy to have Percy back, the sass-master was sorely missed. Still wondering about the prophecy and the line about a son of Neptune drowning.
“I don’t even know where I come from... but I’ve got a feeling this isn’t the first time I’ve been an underdog.”

“What are men to rocks and mountains.” I am obsessed with this sentiment.
It has been about 10 years since my initial read of P&P, so I thought it was time to revisit the story. I was surprised in how much I relished in the story and world Austen painted. The 18th/19th century “burns” made me gasp, I loved it.

Rich Russians behaving poorly? I’m in.
Parts of this were beyond moving. Others had me a little bored.

“In this universe, you are Jeff Goldblum...”
Odd and zany much like the great Goldblum himself.

“Does genius burn, Jo?”
“Little Women” is the first classic I have ever truly loved and while I love it so deeply the end does frustrate me.
My second reading only cemented the feelings of my first: while Jo and Independence are the best “ship” of all, I really did love her with Laurie.
I’m finishing this read, entirely confident that Jo is gay.
Gorgeous story of sisterhood, feminism, and growing up.

“Et tu, Brute?”
Mark Anthony’s funeral oration gave me chills, an absolutely stunning use of language.
Overall, seems like Brutus and Co, we’re simply jealous and wanted Caesar gone, they gave no real reason to kill him that wasn’t later effectively satisfied.

The journalist in me loves this book. Ramos’ voice is powerful and her skill with language is exquisite.
I highly recommend this read. It was eye opening and a view into a world I knew too little about. The chapter “Dark Shadows of Freedom” was both enlightening and mind boggling.

“She saw Jace turning away as if the brightness of the rising sun hurt his eyes.”
It’s been a long time since I originally read this series and part of me worried it wouldn’t hold up to the love I’ve always bestowed upon it. Those worries were futile.
Clare’s descriptions, command of language and tension, ability to weave plot lines, and beautiful use of foreshadowing was inspired. It truly felt like I was reading this for the first time again.
Age and distance really made things stand out this read.
The thing that surprised me the most (but shouldn’t have): that Alec Lightwood was easily my favorite this read.

“Thought you might find the corpses of my previous husbands? Sorry, but I keep them in a warehouse in Queens.”
I adored every moment reading this book. A story full of sibling love, learning to live with grief, and the different ways to be a hero.
I love that Sik was a hero who never used a weapon throughout the whole story, both so compelling and different.
Ishtar and Mo stole my heart. It’s been a long time since I read Mesopotamian myths and I loved it entirely.
This was a wild read a year into the Covid pandemic.
