A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers

medium-paced

3.5

A nice continuation to the first one but in my opinion not a necessary one. 

I did enjoy this but the vibe was a little different to the first one and it just didn’t resonate with me in the same way. 

Still very cozy vibes with thought provoking topics and worth a read. 

In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan

Great idea, execution didn’t work for me. 
Writing was messy and while some of the humour did make me laugh a lot of it also made me feel quite uncomfortable given the ages of the characters and overall I just didn’t really like any of them

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

I get why this book is so well loved, it just fell a bit flat for me. The story, ideas and themes were really interesting and well done but the characters just felt a bit too flat to me.

Good up to date overview of the Spanish invasion and conquest. Spends a lot of time at the start discussing contexts of both regions. Also easy to read for a history book
