A Crown of Swords - Robert Jordan - A Short Summary and Review

Image
  A short summary of A Crown of Swords: A wounded dragon wins, more Aes Sedai start swearing, and the Windfinders call for rain. My favorite Robert Jordan quote from the book: "The weak must be bold cautiously." Questions to ponder while reading: Can you work with people you don't like? Do you ever leave someone behind? My review of the book: Book 7 of 14!  Still chugging. I felt pretty bad for Mat, actually. One day, her hair is going to fall out. **************************************** a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to the travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?

Ninth House - Leigh Bardugo - A Short Summary & Review

Image
  A short summary of Ninth House: A college student's second chance leads to a supernatural scandal. My favorite Leigh Bardugo quote from the book: "We all have spaces we keep blank." Questions to ponder while reading: Does wealth hide crime? Can poverty make someone disappear? My reviews: A fun little magic murder mystery. Great mood and aura. *Note* There are some scenes with abuse. Reader discretion is advised. **************************************** a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller currently living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to the travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com And now, a substack -  https://adelliott.substack.com/ #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?
