Tacio was on the floor a moment later, so swift and sudden was Sapora's strike.
"I do not take kindly to being called weak, Tacio. Question me again and you won't live to do anything else."


Must be humbling to be knocked down so easily!

My regularly scheduled reading was interrupted last night so I could go see the Solo movie! And yes, I did wear my Stars Wars tie to the Star Wars movie! xD

I'm pleased to report that despite some bad buzz, I really enjoyed the movie! :D
Or, as Han would say,"Never tell me the reviews!"

Can't get into detail because spoilers are a tool of the Devil, but that was the best kind of plot twist right there! I was shocked, yet looking back I see the clues to the big reveal were sprinkled all throughout the story!

Well, played, L.L., I love a good plot twist! This pleases me (and Dumbledore)!

When Moroda awoke, she was bathed in sunlight. She blinked several times, her mind very much alert as she adjusted to the brightness. Where was she? What happened in the battle? Her mind raced and yet her body was sluggish.

Racing mind... sounds like me any time I'm trying to get to sleep!

"I'd leave now if I were you, little Ro."

Did... did that just happen?! Wow, that was a shocking turn of events right there! :o

Today is my birthday, and I take time to reflect on this day. Right now, I'm thinking about how much brighter my days have been since joining GoodReads! Thank you all for the laughs, the kindness, and the conversations over the years. You all are the best, and I'm lucky to have you all as friends!

Amarah slipped back into the palace, scythe and all. By the time she returned, her pockets were considerably fatter. The wealthiest of the ball guests would be staying in the palace. Amarah planned on making herself very rich indeed that evening.

Amarah is a master pickpocket!
Others, not so much.

The other day at a bookstore, some guy saw me looking through books from "The Expanse" series, and he started telling me how good the later books become. Complete strangers talking about their love of books with each other. This is why online shopping will never be as magical as going to a bookstore! :D

"That button you just pressed doesn't do what I think it does, does it?"
"People need to know what's going on," Holden said.
"Yes, they do, but maybe we should actually know what the hell is going on before we tell them. How gullible ARE you?"


In his defense, it was a really well-organized ruse!

Holden tried to wake Miller up by staring at him. It didn't work. The massive radiation exposure had failed to give him superpowers. Miller began to snore.

It looks like Holden will have to resort to more drastic means to wake Miller up...

"Look, I was never particularly good at math. But I'd guess there are as many as forty guys in either direction down that other corridor. Which means that we give eighty guys three meters worth of shots at us. Even dumb luck means we get hit a lot and then die. Let's think of a plan B."

"Will you be joining us at the ball tonight?"
"Not my kind of thing," Amarah said, chewing on her lip as she leaned on her scythe."


This should be interesting! Amarah is very formidable in many things, but I suspect ballroom dancing is not one of them!

Jato flexed her wings, a cruel smile on her lips as she leered at Moroda. She raised her hand and spread her palm wide; blue-white light flickered from her skin, and she struck Moroda with a ball of lightning.

Poor Moroda! It's so demoralizing to get trounced before you can even enter the fight!

My reaction after I only had time to read one more chapter and it ended with a massive cliffhanger:


I won't be able to read again for a few hours now! What do I say to cliffhangers?!

"I'm kind of low on solid plans. Haven't had one yet that actually happened."

Not too surprising, Miller! Things rarely go quite as planned...

Siuan did not raise her voice, but it took on an edge, as always when she spoke of Lord Bryne. She tossed her head angrily inside the deep hood of her cloak and made a sound like a cat spitting.

Many thanks to the author for the cat gif set-up!

As they approached the ship, Moroda exhaled, readying herself to join Amarah's ranks of thieves.

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out! Moroda is formidable but I'm not sure she's quite the master thief Amarah is!

I finally got my first Funko Pop. Since I've always loved music as much as reading, I got a figure of one of my favorite musicians of all time. I love my Jimi Funko Pop!
"'scuse me while I kiss the sky."


(And next time I share Funko Pops on GoodReads, I promise they'll be book-related ones!)

Topeko had filled the ship to bursting with food, drink, clothes, and books; more books than Moroda could ever read in a lifetime.

Everyone on GoodReads knows that feeling, Moroda! We go through it whenever we look at our "To-Be-Read" shelves!
(Doesn't stop us from adding more books, though!)

NOOOO! :(
That was so tragic! Like when you have your heart set on a delicious pizza but it never arrives!


Or...or... well, let's stick with pizza tragedies, everyone can relate to those!

"I hope I'm right about this. If not, I'm gonna feel pretty stupid."
In his mind, she smiled ruefully.
"Life is risk," she said.


Miller has a plan now! What could possibly go wrong?
(Uh-oh, I probably shouldn't have said that...)

"It's such a cruel thing," Moroda replied. "They're... losing part of themselves. He's taking it from them. Time. Their hopes and dreams, memories and hearts."

"You should be a poet," Amarah smirked.


And that's why I love Amarah! She's so saucy. Her spirit animal should definitely be a cat!

This book is so good! I'm tempted to call in sick to work just to read more, but I may have to put the book down if they check up on me


Maybe if I try to fake something really bad

"I'm sorry, but you have no idea how pleasant this is. This is literally the first time in over a month that I've gotten off a ship without it blowing up behind me."

Sometimes it's the little things in life that make you smile... like narrowly avoiding explosions!

Holden got up off the floor and moved over to the computer console. He hesitated for one second, then pressed the button to execute. The ship failed to vaporize.
"I guess he wants us alive, then," Holden said.


Holden is so cool in the face of danger! I'd be more like this:

She felt the music as heat - it was fire, flickering and dancing, rising and falling, immersing itself into the very earth beneath her feet. She felt the aches slowly drift away.

I'm loving the magic system and world building! This is definitely a "don't talk to me when I'm reading" book!

"I think Amarah will have your hide if we keep her waiting."
"I'm not sure what's scarier, the thought of another dragon, or her wrath."


Definitely Amarah's wrath! I suspect Amarah looks like this when she's angry

There was the boarder with the grenade launcher, lining up on them for the killing shot. We're dead, Holden thought. Naomi made an obscene gesture.

I think Naomi just became my favorite character. She doesn't take crap from anyone!
