I loved this one — especially the chapter narrated by each of the snakes in her hair. Such a brilliant choice. And honestly, she absolutely should have been the hero in the original myth too.

The art on that book looks breathtaking, to say nothing of what I'm sure is between the covers!

This is for sure one of my comfort replays. Plus it features the world's best love story: Varric and Bianca.

That’s really kind of you—hope next week treats you more gently. I’ve got a fantasy novel out now: Galdur Academy: Secrets in the Blood. Magical academy, rival schools of magic, and a lot of quiet identity pressure under the spellwork.

Nothing more like modern day society than taking a cautionary tale and assuming it's a How-To Manual.

I really liked the parts about the immaterial plane, and how a single tear introduced something new to break up a cycle. Overal realy great. The only constructive bit I might add is I might like to hear a litte diaogue from the deities to get a sense of their personality. Really enjoyed it!

I'm sort of in the middle. I like a backlog, but I'll start before the series is finished. That way I can binge a good chunk of the series and spend a lot of time with the characters upfront.

To my wife the three most romantic words I can say are, 'I made soup.' So it's always soup season at our house!

I’m a therapist, and this just made my “things I will absolutely be saying to clients” list. Also, as a writer, I kind of love how quotable these are!

Wait, that’s not what people do? I’ve got two fiction books, a writing craft book, and a dungeon mastering book going at the same time. How else do you keep momentum?

This looks rad! Guilty admission: I often choose books the same way I choose wine—cool names and awesome cover design get me every time.

Steer into the skid and start your villain era 🙂
Honestly though, book clubs are kind of at their best when you get a bad one—nothing bonds people like collectively throwing popcorn at a book.
