The journal is a product of my disease, perhaps an accentuation and exaggeration of it. I speak of relief when I write; perhaps, but it is also an engraving of pain, a tattooing of myself.

I'm currently reading The Crimson Moth by Kristen Ciccarelli and flying through it. The pacing is great and the story really engaging. I wouldn’t be surprised if I finished it tonight–tomorrow at the latest.

I have bad dreams too. But then I remember I’m awake and that the bad dreams can’t follow me when I’m awake. And then I feel better.

Book Review: Ashen Dawn

Ashen Dawn, the second book in the Midnight Wars sci-fi/space opera saga, follows on where Vermillion Flames left off. We accompany Silas, Kaya, and Aron as they continue their respective quests—Silas to bring the Pandora fleet back to fighting strength, Kaya as she finds herself stranded on Earth, and Aron as he continues the fight on Mars.

As with the first book, Fernandez builds a rich and expansive universe, revealing a deep history as we progress through the story. The reader is left with a sense that there is much to explore, and that these adventures are only scratching the surface. The role of religion is again central—it is foundational to how the society functions, and it forms a core part of Silas’ motivation. The author does well to explore how faith can be at odds with the theocratic systems of power, in a way that helps the reader deeply sympathise with the character’s struggles. Indeed, one of my favourite parts of the book was when Silas, through a traumatic event, comes to accept how he can move forward against the established religious system with his faith still in tact. I won’t spoil it, but that passage is as vivid and engaging as anything Fernandez has written.

Kaya, too, continues to grow in confidence, asserting herself as she explores the remains of Earth.  Here she uncovers many dark secrets…

The plot itself is a rollercoaster, with plenty of twists and turns that will keep you reading. It is told through multiple points of view. This choice in itself is effective, though I did find the pacing to be a little off. Successive chapters focus on the same character, and I felt that these could have been more evenly spread. Regardless, the different perspectives do help capture the varying parts of an intricate storyline. The inclusion of Aron and, later on, Henry as POV characters is welcome. And, as before, the battle scenes are engaging and the side characters are endearing (Marcus, once more, a personal favourite!). 

The ending of the book is satisfying but, as one would expect, as some questions are answered, more are raised, and we are left eagerly awaiting the next instalment!

dropping in to dump this life changing deal <3

I've been in the mood to read some darker/paranormal romances. Although I have already read this, sometimes there's comfort in the familiar. If you enjoy a little more *spice* in your romantasy than the average with paranormal/monster elements thrown in too, then you might add this to your tbr.

A @goodreads Best Fantasy Choice Award Nominee, Veronica Roth’s When Among Crows is sharp, stunning, and steeped in Slavic folklore magic.

🖤 Warning: Contains curses, creatures, and one very perilous fern flower.
