The fact that the Shroud is an option too

The thought that went into this is truly so cool!

dark academia vampire you are enthralled by literature, the finer arts of the world and perhaps even architecture. you love to learn, and your tastes are exquisite! you have a fair level of maturity in the way you carry yourself and pride yourself in the pursuit of knowledge. you are quieter and more reserved, but with an intense soul and thousands of thoughts you wish to pour into the world.

Good morning 😃
I've been seeing so much Hunger Games discourse, and I just can't stop thinking about how devastating Primrose's death is actually. Like the entire reason Katniss volunteered as tribute in the first place was to protect Primrose. So she wouldn't have to watch her sister die only for her to watch her sister die anyway. To have everything Katniss went through. Surviving the games twice! Losing Rue, a surrogate sister. Losing Finnick, her closest confidante. Only for her to lose the one person she did it all for on top of all that.

One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig review

4.5/5 stars
10/10 for the gloomy, Grimm- esque atmosphere. The magic system in Rachel Gillig's One Dark Window is one of the more unique ones I've come across as the magic in the land is now contained to a deck of cards, each with their own abilities and the mist around the kingdom that claims souls who wander too far. Elspeth has been harboring a secret, however, a voice inside her head that's not her own. Acquired after a trip into the woods, Elspeth is losing herself more and more to the Nightmare that entered her soul after becoming infected from the woods as a child. Hidden away for years, Elspeth is now in a precarious position as the royal family enlists her help to find the remaining cards to banish the mist using the other ability she gained in the mist, detecting the magical aura of each card. The ensemble characters are all engaging in their varied personalities. The ruthless Hauth, teasing Elm, kindly Jespyr, discerning Emory, and forboding and protective Ravyn. As well, the intrigue of these relatives working together against the king to steal the cards for themselves and their own agendas as well as the influence they have over Elspeth's family provides a strong dose of tension. The politics of the royal's hypocritical and controlling views towards magic in their brutal hunting and lynching of anyone who comes to possess magic through the mist and harboring of the cards magic for themselves and themselves alone adds another element of fantasy drama. The most compelling aspect for me is, of course, seeing the cost of magic on those who use it. As repeated throughout the story no magic is free. A price must always be paid in exchange for mortals to use magic, the remaining energy of the spirit of the woods, which can come in a variety of forms. For Elsepth, this means relinquishing control of her body and her mind to the Nightmare who grows stronger each time she calls on him. The reader too gets to experience Elspeth's inner battle with her monster. We see her attempt to rein in its malicious suspicions of those around her and and lose herself to his bloodlust. This "degeneration" as it's dubbed in the book is also explored in interesting ways through Elspeth's cousin lone, Ravyn, and Emory, which I hope we get to expand on in the sequel. One Dark Window is an enveloping fantasy that is delightfully reminiscent of traditional fairy tales and serves a nice dash of romance as Elspeth and Ravyn grow closer through their mission and see pieces of themselves in each other.

Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake

⭐️⭐️⭐️½/5

Would slap as a Hallmark/Netflix movie
I think this is the first holiday romance I've read (I usually just watch holiday romances). I do feel like this might have worked better as a movie. The writing itself is quick and easy to get through. The characters are all distinct. The dialogue only felt clunky/cringey a few times, mainly towards the beginning. But the setting felt delightfully wintry. Charlotte, though. Gotta be honest, she pissed me off. Like she was just so self-absorbed, and if there's one thing I hate, it's an mc who doesn't even treat their friends well let alone their love interest. Neverthless, Charlotte does have her moments, and to her credit, she does have a fair amount of development and growth by the end. I just wish the growth came a little sooner and that we got to see more friendship chemstry which felt kind of forced for most of the book. Brighton, on the other hand, I felt more of a connection with. I loved seeing her open up about her past and seeing her friendship with Adele. I also loved seeing Brighton find herself and her confidence. The romance was so angsty, a little too angsty to the point of repetitiveness at times, but for the most part I was very invested. I know most of my review is just nit-picking this poor book, but I did really enjoy the romance. I don't read much second-chance, but this one was done very well and allowed both women to explore their feelings towards each other, reconcile with the past, and find out what their own wants are. And the spice is chef's kiss. All the side characters were lovely. I love Sloane so much. And Wes was a really sweet supportive character. Also Adele's energy is perfect. Shoutout to Nina Berry for bringing the humor as the well-meaning, if slightly out of touch parent. Overall, I would say this a quick, enjoyable holiday read with a little bit of humor, some heart, and a plethora of Christmas film references.
