✨️Eleven years ago, I made a dream come true. No, it wasn’t the journey itself—not yet. It was the dream of writing a book.

I don’t even remember when the passion first sparked, but on 29.11.2014, I held two copies of my first, and so far only, book in my hands.

To skip ahead—no, I never published it for the world. It was an adventure of self-revelation, shared only with a very small circle of special people. And yet, it opened a door to the magic I had been searching for for so long.

I had never visited the breathtaking historical palace that I described in my novel, but magic works in mysterious ways. Soon after, I met the love of my life—just as my protagonist, Lana, met her Ryan. And somehow, life mirrored fiction: the man I loved took me to the very place where, in my imagination, their love story had blossomed.

In 2019, I brought my book to the Knossos Palace in Crete. And there, in that place of history, dreams, and whispered stories, my husband—already my chosen one—proposed to me once again.

Where imagination once drew the path, life gently followed.✨️

I found my happy place in Cyprus 🥰🇨🇾

There were so many books in English as well in this really hidden gem 📚 I spend more than an hour in the bookshop and the hospitable shopkeepers helped me choose my 10 amazing books 🤩

Unfortunately the one I was looking for - The Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross was not available publicly yet. Though I got to hold another reader's order at least 😂📖

Oops, I did it again. 🌸📚

I bought a book I barely checked the reviews for, simply because I was drawn to its gorgeous dust jacket and those irresistible sprayed edges.

Foolish? Maybe. 😅 You might say, You don’t even know what the book is about or what it has to offer!

But isn’t that how we sometimes choose things in life, too?

You buy a bouquet of flowers without smelling them first. You simply trust. Trust that they’ll be beautiful, that they’ll bring you joy, that somehow, it will all be worth it.

And so, I trusted this book. ✨

I have no idea what kind of reading experience awaits me, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it turns out to be something truly marvelous.

Until then, I’ll simply admire it, adore it, and let it be beautiful. 🌷📖

Threshing Day brought back all the memories and all the feelings from my Empyrean journey. 🥹🐉 Every character, every moment, every little detail—and especially Threshing Day itself, which I absolutely love. ❤️

I can’t wait to turn the page and begin the next chapter of this adventure!

Sadly, my copy of Threshing Day still hasn’t arrived, but I’m not losing heart. 🤞✨ I’m keeping my fingers crossed, avoiding as many spoilers on social media as humanly possible, and patiently waiting for my book to find its way to me.

And in the meantime… I have my red dragon. 🐉❤️ So I have someone to keep me company while I wait. 😌📖

Thank you @rebeccayarros for this unforgettable adventure 🫶🐲

September was a month of closures—most importantly, the end of my journey through the Realm of the Elderlings. 🐉✨

I loved all 15 books that came before it, but the 16th left me completely breathless… and I’m still not sure whether that’s in the best or worst way. Did I have expectations? Absolutely. Were they met? Not quite. Do I still have questions? So many. 😂

I’m still processing it, but one thing is certain: September was magical—full of dragons, Fitz and the Fool, and, of course, Little B. ❤️‍🩹📚

What a journey. What a world. What an ending.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I had assumed this was the final book, only to discover that there’s another one coming—which probably explains why the story felt a little stretched at times. I would have loved a bit more dynamism and a faster pace. The constant hatred and drama between Anna and Effie also became a little tiresome.

That said, it was still an enjoyable read, and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what happens to the sisters in the next book! 📚✨

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

I started The Fool’s Assassin with a strange mixture of yearning and sadness, already knowing that I’m getting dangerously close to the end of my journey through the Realm of the Elderlings. 🥹💔 These are the last few books I have left, and the thought of finishing this adventure already breaks my heart. And yet, just like every book before it, I absolutely devoured this one. 🦊📚

I once saw a fellow reader say that Robin Hobb can spend an entire book building a setting, a background, a life, a character—and somehow make every page fascinating. ✨ I couldn’t agree more.

This book is over 600 pages of seemingly slow, deliberate storytelling, giving us a glimpse into Fitz’s life after we last saw him and showing us what his world had become. Some readers might find the pace too slow, but for me, it was perfect. I wanted to know what Fitz’s life had been like, what he had built, and who he had become. 🏡🌿

Then came Bee. 🐝

And I have to admit, I was confused. Where is this going? What is Hobb building toward? 🤔 Slowly, I started forming my suspicions.

If you asked me whether I’m rich, I’d say yes without hesitation. ✨

Perhaps not in the way you mean—but my bookshelves are filled with stories I’ve already lived through, stories waiting to be discovered, and stories I’m eagerly anticipating.

And honestly, I can’t imagine a better kind of wealth than having a whole world of stories at your fingertips. 📚🤍

That, to me, is true richness. 📖🫶

You know a book—or a series—has truly left its mark when you finish it and feel completely hungover.

No desire to pick up another book. No belief that anything could possibly be better. Just that strange emptiness, mourning the end of a story that felt like home.

That’s how you know it was a reading experience worth grieving. 📚🤍

And such was my experience of the Realm of Elderlings by Robin Hobb 💔📖

Books teach us that shadows aren’t always dangerous. Sometimes, the things that look bright, beautiful, and clear can hide the greatest dangers.

They teach us about second chances, about people choosing between good and evil—and, most importantly, that we are the ones who decide what good and evil truly mean. 📚✨

As much as I love reading, sometimes I dread immersing myself in a new world of adventure—because not every adventure has a happy ending.

Sometimes, we have to say goodbye to characters we’ve loved, trusted, and grown deeply attached to. It may sound funny to non-readers, but a character can become a friend. And losing a friend is never easy.

So perhaps readers are braver than we give ourselves credit for. We willingly open a book, knowing it may take us through joy, heartbreak, love, loss, and transformation—and we turn the page anyway.

That, to me, is the quiet courage of being a reader. 📖🤍

If someone were to write a story about life itself—about love and loss, friendship and betrayal, family and loneliness, the beautiful moments and the painful ones, and all the complicated relationships that shape who we become—I think they would write something like Robin Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings.

This series is so much more than fantasy. It feels like a reflection of life itself: raw, heartbreaking, beautiful, and deeply human.

If you asked me which series I could read again and again throughout my life, without ever truly leaving it behind, this would be it.

Realm of the Elderlings is, without a doubt, one of those rare stories that doesn’t just entertain you—it becomes a part of you. ❤️‍🩹📚
