“I am trying to let go. I don’t know how.” 🐺

Assassin’s Fate // Robin Hobb
Fitz & the Fool book 3, RotE book 16(!!)
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

While browsing quotes to start this post, I literally started crying again. 😭😅

I’ve been reading The Realm of the Elderlings since 2020 (before bookstagram!) and it’s kind of difficult to believe that I don’t have any more to read. I actually wasn’t sold on the series until Liveship Traders, and now I can’t imagine my reading life without these books. Character arcs? Immaculate. Development of lore? The best I’ve ever read. Romance?? Frustrating and heartbreaking but also SO SO beautiful. I also just don’t even have enough words to tell you how much I love these books!! I SOBBED when I read the final page but it was such a special ending.

This probably sounds overly emotional to anyone who hasn’t read RotE, but those who have will get it. 😅

What books give you the same vibes?

#fantasyreader

Redwall by Brian Jacques / The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien

I’m currently reading this with my husband (he’s reading it for the first time!) and I can’t help but think of the similarities!

Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir / (Hugo Award Winning!!) The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow

just a LITTLE feral for these two 😇

2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke / I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman

I had the same reaction of “….okay?” when finishing both of these books 🫣

Warriors by Erin Hunter / A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin
