What are you currently reading?

In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency—extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan. The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries.

Everless (Untitled #1) by Sara Holland. I bought this book on a whim. I went into the store looking for a notebook and Black Bird of the Gallows and left with Everless. So far it is a good impulse purchase. The writing is flowing well and the story setup happens fairly quickly so you aren’t sitting around for chapter after chapter getting all of the background information. Looking forward to reading more of this one.

What did you recently finish reading?

Ash Princess (Untitled Trilogy #1) by Laura Sebastian (eARC). I just finished this book last night and I’m still a little waffly about it. Was it good? Sure it was…at least the second half. But at the same time it was bad. How does that work? How can a book be both good and bad? I’m still trying to sort this out.

What do you think you’ll read next?

“I’m sick to death of lords and kings and emperors. What do they do but play games and let their people pay the price in blood?” 

Forest of a Thousand Lanterns (Rise of the Empress #1) by Julie C. Dao. I just put a hold on this book with my local library and I’m hoping I’ll be able to go pick it up tomorrow. Admittedly I am completely surprised that they have it as they often don’t get newer releases in unless it is a big name. Really looking forward to this one.

Talk to me! What have you all been reading? Any good books to recommend?
