Do you enjoy making big decisions and leading other people? Or would you rather not take on that kind of responsibility? 👑 Personally, I’ve been known to take charge of a situation or project when nobody else seems willing and nothing’s going to get done otherwise, but I don’t really enjoy bossing others around and I’d much rather do the work all on my own than have to tell other people how to do it! 👑 The heroine of BEYOND THE SHADOWED EARTH, though, is a fiery young queen determined to be Empress of half the world, and who spends much of the early chapters of the book pushing for a grand building project that she’s convinced must be finished no matter what obstacles stand in the way. 👑 Eda is prickly, sharp-tongued, and consumed with ambition and pride, which makes her rather unlikeable at first. But her backstory is so compelling, and there’s so much humanity and vulnerability beneath her hard surface, that I found myself turning the pages avidly to find out what would happen to her next. I won’t spoil any of the story for you, but @gamwyn pulls off a remarkable narrative feat in taking Eda through a painful but satisfying character journey and revealing the truth behind her beliefs and actions. 👑 Anyway, if you’ve enjoyed Megan Whalen Turner’s Attolia series, there’s a good chance you’ll appreciate this book too. I downloaded the e-book from Netgalley and the formatting was terrible, but I still couldn’t put it down! . . #swiftbookstagramchallenge Day 8: The Joan - Fictional Female Ruler . . . #joannaruthmeyer #gamwyn #beyondtheshadowedearth #bookstagram #bookstagramchallenge #bookchallenge #bookphotochallenge #augustbookchallenge #bookishchallenge #challenge #swift #swiftbook #flightandflametrilogy #yafantasy #fantasybooklover #fantasyforlife #ireadya #yalit #yabooks #yabookstagram #bookaddict #youngadultbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CDpIRQsgMGu/?igshid=17xte21j8ba8h

Beyond the Shadowed Earth by Joanna Ruth Meyer Book Review

I received this ARC from a giveaway (Thanks again :)) and just finished reading the story. The cover itself is very intricate and alluring. The illustration of the mountain and space/nature imagery gives off a sense of adventure that the novel itself contains. The mythology and setting in a world of politics and power exist in a fragile balance lays out an epic and fulfilling journey.

The plot of the story I found was driven and hard to put down. Its characters flushed out fully and I could relate to them and their individual personalities to aspects of my everyday life. That is always something I look for when reading a novel. Overall, this book connects the boundaries of fantasy to reality, tells the tale with extensive character development and the power one truly holds. A MUST READ NOVEL!

This feels like the longest week ever. I am just ready to have a break. Today we turned in our lease to day in our apartment for another year. After I turned it in, I came home to a notice on my door that had a completely different lease price. 🤦‍♀️ This company that bought out my complex, really needs to get their shit together because they are failing quite miserably. Hopefully we can buy a house next year because I am tired of this apartment life. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
