New to BookWyrm. Still very new to all this de-centralised, federation thing. Learning in small bites.

Picking up books again and remembering again why I have always loved books, and how I could let it fade away from my life in the first place.

Review of God's Concubine (The Troy Game, Book 2)

Content warning I only really started to like Caela when she 'remembered' herself. William really hasn't changed a whole lot, so I'm still not really liking him... and Asterion is a brilliant a$$****!! The writer makes you loath both him.

Review of 'Jet' on 'Goodreads'

Fast and easy read, which was especially critical because I'm just getting back in to reading after a couple years hiatus. It was a bit slow at some parts, but they were short and were essential to explain from other points of view what was happening on the side of the bad guys. Strong female lead. I liked it, but didn't love it enough to really think about buying more of the series.
