Always wonderful to check in with you! Yay for doing so well with the sci-fi goals, just take that win and forget the rest hahaha. Also, I love how you just set yourself up for guaranteed success with that loose reading goal of 20-80 books 🤣 I personally love The Bone Ships, so I hope it works better for you on re-read. It definitely requires some trust and patience in the first half! Happy reading 🥰
Yay, a new Signe Pike! I've only read the first one and it was such a long time ago that I would have to reread it. My reading is quite bitty at the moment but I'm hoping to wrap up quite a few books by the end of the year.
I have started Child of the Prophecy (for the first time) sometime in April, as I usually save Juliet Marillier books for spring, have read about third of it and then had to put it down because I came upon that very detailed SA/borderline SA scene (and lets not even mention the age discrepancy 😳) and I am not sure whether I can get through it. I don't understand why Marillier chooses to depict SA scenes in such detail, while in comparison, her steamy scenes between loving couples are bare bones 😶 Also, since you rereading that series, I wanted to ask - is Fainne's childhood friend really the main love interest? He's really condescending towards her as well as possessive _and_ he's basically slut-shaming her quite often 🤬Is that really the guy she ends up with? 😨
Tbh I haven’t read it in about 6 years so I don’t have a lot of detail to offer at the moment. In general I think the way she writes SA vs steamy scenes is somewhat a product of the time she was writing, and more recently she has said (I can’t remember if it was an ama or an interview) if she were writing Sevenwaters again, she would probably handle those scenes differently. And you can see in her more recent works she does handle SA differently and less graphically. But of course it will depend for each person if they are comfortable reading that
That’s so exciting about the Signe Pike book!
I love the visuals that you used toward the end of the video! 👍❤️
Thank you!

That’s good to know about The Bone Ships, I’ll try to trust the process😄

Good luck with your end of year reading!
Silly question but: are you excited about the Amber Owl!!! 👀👀
Yesssssss!! One of my most anticipated releases and it’s coming out so soon!
@ We were so spoiled by almost a book a year by her for a while that the past few years have felt sooo long! Glad it’s coming soon though :)
