I've waited 2 years to finally get my hands on this book! Let's see how this goes!!

I am LOVING the inclusion of illustrations in this book!!!

"There is strength in knowing when to speak, and when to listen. And when to say nothing at all."

I got so into staring this that I forgot to add it to my goodreads!!!

Will this finally be the time I finish the Darker Shades trilogy? XD Tune in to find out!

This story is quite the slow burner. I haven't made much progress but it feels as though I have had!

"It's hard to be wrongfully accused, but it's worse when the people looking down on you are clods who have never read a book or traveled more than twenty miles from the place they were born."

Thriftbook says this book has been sitting on my shelf for over a year 😂 Time to get to it!

Buddy Read time!!! Putting Nevernight on hold while I tear through this!

I must say Mr. Kristoff has a peculiar way of building up this world. One pun at a time. 😂

Going to get through as much as I can of this book while I wait for a buddy read to start

This series really is not holding out. only 46 pages in and it's just been action after action xD

I need an image of this scene! Of Kell clutching the small music box as he listened to the Grey London tune while letting the Red London air drag him to sleep.

Alright. Round #2 of Shades of Magic here we go!

This dystopian world is quite intriguing! The only let down so far is that our protagonist really isn't that engaging IMO. *insert shrug emoji*

"You be as angry as you need to be. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Not your grandma, not your dad, no one. And if you need to break things, then by God, you break them good and hard."

" 'The green things in this world are just wondrous aren't they?' his mother went on. 'We work so hard to get rid of them when sometimes they're the very things that saves us.' "

"There is not always a good guy. Nor is there always a bad one. Most people are somewhere in between."

"Stories are the wildest things of all"

"So go. Run with it. Make trouble."

I technically already read this but I wanna go back and properly marathon the Shade's of Magic series!!

Decided to start off the player's with the Death House Introduction. The PC's have proven to be quite worthy adversaries and have managed to progress through the house quite satisfactory (with the exception of a certain necromancer almost getting his ass beat by taking things he shouldn't have xD) We are one session away from finishing Death House and properly moving on to the true Curse of Stradh!!

I'm preparing myself to DM a new D&D session soon. So of course I needed to add this to my Goodreads current reads xD

Harry Potter reference! Harry Potter reference!! 50 points to Simon vs. the Homosapiens Agenda xD

So I'm going to be going through a lot of Manga Books now. They've piled up and I'm in the mood for short, illustrated stories rather than the colossal tomes that are currently sitting on my shelf.

Had to put this on hold for awhile. Hopefully will finish it soon!!!

Not gonna lie, this book has a solid start! It's kept me entertained since page one!

Story #10 Completed!! And with that I finish this book!
I can honestly say that I was not expecting the plot twist towards the end, however, I can see why my friend Xiomy was not really sold with the end of the book as well as how other portions of the story wrapped up. I'm curious to see if we will be following Simon along any longer or if this is the end.

Story #9 Completed!!
This one has to be my second favorite so far! It features a bunch of my favorite characters and a lot of ongoing conflicts were satisfactorily resolved. I wish the best of luck to the new addition, Max Light wood.

Story #8 Completed!
This one has to be the weirdest one yet...The Parabatai ceremony was so interesting! Can't wait to catch up on Julian and Emma in the Dark Artifices trilogy!
