I love this book SO much!!! Anne is the best sort of character and all the children are so cute!

I love Anne! <3

I’m hoping to finish this tomorrow and then get a review up!
I love this book! <3

Things are getting better in this book for Oliver! There are actually kindhearted people showing up! Hurray! <3

“I had invented my life as an author invents a fairy tale.”

I’m loving this book and the characters! I was not expecting to be as invested as I am! I love the descriptions of the powers!
I will say there is some content (language mostly) that I don’t like but otherwise this is really good so far!

“Having lived so long without the light, the darkness will seem more familiar to them. But the future is not theirs to claim for darkness—it is yours to reclaim for light.”

Quote:

“Elizabeth, having rather expected to affront him, was amazed at his gallantry; but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody; and Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her.”

The dialogue and descriptions are *chefs kiss*! I’m so impressed with how amazing the dialogue is and how every single character has their own character voice and way they speak! This is a great book to learn how to write dialogue from, just saying.

Quotes:

“…but for your sakes, we would do anything.”

“To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.”

“He was the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come there again.”

“You never see a fault in anybody. All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a human being in your life.”

My heart breaks for poor little Oliver. This is such a sad tale.
I’m also annotating my physical book (which is fun) and am listening to the audiobook (which is fun because it is British and funny because of the voices for each of the characters). This book is an odd combination of enjoyable and super depressing all at the same time. Did anyone else feel the same while reading this, or is that just me?

This is surprisingly depressing and a sad book (I say surprising because I wasn’t expecting chapter one to open with such sad moments and it keeps getting more depressing). I’m hoping it gets happier and that Oliver has a happy ending!
I read a retelling of this years ago and loved it so I’m excited to finally read the original but then I want a happy book! XD

I didn’t get much reading in today but I’m hoping tomorrow can be a good reading day!
I’m really loving this story! I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!

I’m LOVING this book! The tower has appeared! The “key” element is really cool! I can’t wait to keep reading! <3
Fingers crossed I can finish this by Thursday so I can post a review on Friday! That is my goal and I’m hoping I can reach it!
Does anyone else have a book they want to finish before the end of March? I can’t believe March is almost over!

I’m loving this already!!!
I love Denton and how even when he is afraid of *spoiler* he still went out to try and do what is right (I also have the same reaction to seafood XD). I also love the importance of life & pro-life themes I’m seeing already in this book! <3
I can’t wait to keep reading!

This is such a good story and so hard to put down (but alas, it is time for bed so I shall wait…for now)!
Carter and Char!!! I love them so much! <3

I love Carter and Char so much!!! My heart! <3
I’m also sensing a redemption arc and I’m so happy about that!

I’m really loving Carter’s character!!! <3
