Canines & Cocktails by Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne, Chuck Wendig
Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.

Once again, I only wanted Oberon's Meaty Mystery and only technically finished that chunk of the story. That said, it was once again a blast. I love the Druid and his wonderful hounds. Makes me want to hug a puppy. 

Death & Honey by Lila Bowen, Kevin Hearne, Chuck Wendig

Confession, I only read for Oberon's Meaty Mystery: The Buzz Kill and only read that novella of the book. That said, I love hanging out with the Iron Druid and his exceptional hounds again. 

Candle & Crow by Kevin Hearne

adventurous emotional funny inspiring fast-paced

4.0

I love this universe and the characters. I did feel like this book didn't feel like it had a solid idea where it was going and was more a collection of little stories as opposed to one specific novel. I hope this isn't the end of the Ink & Sigil series.

I finally passed into the books I hadn't read in the first round of reading these. 

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher

adventurous challenging dark emotional informative inspiring mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

Every time I pick up a T. Kingfisher book, I think, "I know what this one is going to be about" only to be completely wrong within moments. I'm always surprised and it's always better than I anticipated. 

This one was deeply disturbing, but in the best way possible. I can't expound as much as I would want without spoiling everything, so I will leave it here. 

The Follower of Flowers by Natalia Hernandez

4.0

This definitely feel as though Hernandez had the whole story in her head before she started. Sometimes, when reading a debut series you get the feeling that it's being made up as you go along. I think when Hernandez went on tik tok and said she had this idea and a bunch of us said I'd read that (yeah I was one of them) she had the whole idea down. I'm excited to get to book three as it's taken me far too long to get to one and two. 

Norse Fairy & Folk Tales by James Shepherd, George Webbe Dasent, Charles John Tibbits, Katharine Pyle
Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.

I think I've read too many of these old traditional anthologies and the "lessons" they teach are just obnoxious in a modern world.

The Truth of the Aleke by Moses Ose Utomi
Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.

Almost got half way, but after reading the first in the Forever Desert series, I can see the twist coming from a mile away. It's not as interesting as I wanted it to be.

VenCo by Cherie Dimaline

5.0

A scavenger hunt of a story with high stakes and a super realistic and awful villain. This was the perfect sort of witch book to enjoy. I loved it beginning to end. All the characters felt interesting and fully fleshed out, even the horrible creepy witch hunter. I hope there is more in this world. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
