While I was able to get on board with many of these points, there was one that was a sticking point, even for me. There is a lot to be said for forgiveness and understanding in friendship, but there were a few too many times where this line was crossed far to completely to be simplified in this way. It is the same as romantic relationships, in this way: at a certain point, if you are being actively hurt by another person, that person is not your friend, even if they truly do have good feelings toward you.

So, while I love the message of Agatha saving her friend through sheer will, forgiveness, and kindness, the story also, unfortunately, sets up a bad example of friendships in general.

Through large portions of this story, this is not a healthy friendship. This last point is what has stuck with me through this last week of building up to this review. I sped through this book and it was wildly entertaining as I was reading. But with distance comes more clarity, and there were problematic aspects of it, as I mentioned. That said, I will definitely continue on with the series. However, I will keep my eyes open for how some parts of it are handled in the future, most notably, this friendship.

Rating 7: Really great world-building and a lot of great lessons about self-worth and self-esteem; unfortunately, lessened by some questionable portrayals of healthy friendships. Book Description: Eve has a new home, a new face, and a new name—but no memories of her past. That she escaped a dangerous magic-wielding serial killer who still hunts her. At night she dreams of a tattered carnival tent and buttons being sewn into her skin.

But during the day, she shelves books at the local library, trying to not let anyone know that she can do things—things like change the color of her eyes or walk through walls. Eve must find out who and what she really is before the killer finds her—but the truth may be more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined. So when I discovered this one, with its creepy carnival imagery, amnesia, and serial killer nemesis, I knew that the story would be in the hands of an author capable of fully taking advantage of these elements.

The story started off slowly for me, to be honest. I was about a third of the way into the book before I started feeling truly invested in the story. And while this is a rather large hurdle to leap for many readers, I would say the later pay off is definitely worth it. Eve herself is such a unique narrator.

When the reveal comes towards the end of the story, I actually found myself paging back through the book trying to spot these change points, many of which I missed in my initial read through. As for the twist itself, parts of it I was able to guess, but others came completely out of the blue.

I particularly appreciated the fact that the story is not quickly wrapped up once some of these twists become clear and we get to fully explore the reality of these developments and spend time in this new world order. Further, the confusion and distrust that leads to these reveals were excellent. So as she begins to question those around her, so do we, the reader. Her bouts of amnesia were both frustrating and refreshingly new to this type of story.

Eve keeps forgetting. Between chapters even! Like I said, frustrating, but also very interesting. As for supporting characters, these were a bit more hit and miss. I loved Malcom from the get go, and grew to love his partner as well. Very little of the outcome would have been changed, and they were often so unlikable that I found myself wanting to skim read through their portions. Personally, if a guy introduced himself to me that way the door would be slammed on the chance of us even be acquaintances, let alone romantically involved, right then and there.

If you like dark, fantasy stories and can be patient with unreliable narrators and a slow start, definitely check this one out!

Labenda Awaits - Critical Role - Campaign 2, Episode 20

Book Description: In the tumultuous months after Napoleon abdicates his throne, Jane and Vincent go to Belgium for their honeymoon. While there, the deposed emperor escapes his exile in Elba, throwing the continent into turmoil. While the appeal of the first book lay largely in its comparisons to a Jane Austen novel with magic, this aspect was also its biggest downfall.

However, this book, taking place after the marriage of Jane and Vincent, is freed from these comparisons as it ventures into unknown territory to Jane Austen stories: Life after the wedding. The expanded descriptions and explanations for this magic system were particularly interesting. It is a very unique take on magical and I enjoyed discovering more about how it work and the varying ways it can be adapted for different uses.

I remember noting in my last review that this type of magic seemed as if it would have more important applications than simply as an art form, and this book explores this concept, much to my delight. Particularly, the book dives into the ways that glamour magic is used as strategy in military maneuvering. As the description highlights, there is much more action in this story, particularly for Jane. I enjoyed watching her make proactive choices, rather than simply react to the circumstances presented to her. My only complaint was the decreased role that some of the original characters played in this story.

While the setting places some obvious constraints on the involvement of these characters obviously Melody would not be on their honeymoon with them! All in all, this book improved on both of my complaints of the original: freeing itself from comparisons and expanding the use of its magic system. If you were only half-sold on the first book, definitely check this one out as I see it as a great improvement in the series. Rating 8: A step in the right direction for the series as a whole! Where Did I Get this Book: audiobook from the library! Book Description: A cunning and impetuous scout, Alix only wishes to serve quietly on the edges of the action.

But when the king is betrayed by his own brother and left to die at the hands of attacking Oridian forces, she winds up single-handedly saving her sovereign.

And when the time comes, she may need to choose between the two men who need her most…. Review: Another book that landed on my to-read pile quite a while ago that now I have no memory of selecting. But, luckily for me, my past self must have been on top of things, because this lesser known fantasy novel hit just the spot! General worldbuilding: pretty typical European-centric, medieval fantasy world.

    4. I was fairly well into the book when I started questioning whether this even was a fantasy novel given how little these magical elements were mentioned. Characters: Alix is great. She makes mistakes and is flawed, but her character arc takes her through these struggles smoothly, never undermining the stronger aspects of her character. The dialogue, both her own and those around her, was witty and I caught myself laughing out loud several times. So, all of that aside there were two things that I found notable about this story.

    First, I was dismayed to find a love triangle smack dab in the middle of my adult fantasy novel. As we all know, I do not appreciate most love triangles.

    I find them unrealistic, and they often seem to bring out the worst in all characters involved selfish heroines, ridiculous-verging-on-abusive love interests. Seems like it would be stressful and, for me, it is the exact opposite of wish fulfillment. Perhaps the simple fact that the author is writing about adults and for adults makes the difference here.

    There are real consequences to the choices that are made. Hearts are broken. Confusion is unpleasant, not thrilling. And the relationships between all characters involved are real and priorities are rightly placed beyond the romance of it all. However, the author provided a decent explanation for this, if one that I still somewhat questioned in reality. Further, the reaction of the two men involved was a highlight. No silly posturing.

    No abusive possessiveness. Actual hurt and confusion. They are people who have real feelings involved. Further, they have lives, relationships, friendships, duties, and families outside of Alix that they rightly keep in perspective throughout all of this.

    I was particularly pleased with the way this love triangle resolved itself. My second notable aspect of the story was its treatment of women. This book highlights how to create a fairly typical medieval fantasy world while leaving that all behind. No big deal. But this is by no means a rule, with the doors to others roles left wide open. And no one blinks an eye at any of this.

    All said, I very much enjoyed this book. But the strong characters, entertaining dialogue, and well-represented world recommend it to anyone who enjoys traditional fantasy fare with a dash of romance. Eugenides wanted the queen, not the crown, but he finds himself trapped in a web of his own making.

    Then he drags a naive young guard into the center of the political maelstrom.

    Though struggling against his fate, the newly crowned king is much more than he appears. Soon the corrupt Attolian court will learn that its subtle and dangerous intrigue is no match for Eugenides. How can an author keep her main character so tricky when readers are on to the cons after two books?
