The latest votes are in and we have some new books to read together. Yahoo! The book for February is Spellbreaker by Charlie Holmberg. Just a note that this is one of the free Prime First Reads books for November, so if you haven't snagged it yet, go do it before the end of the month! Feel free to read our book club books in any order that you choose and when you've finished reading, come back here and tell us what you think. Please label spoilers or even type them in white like I just did right here(highlight that blank space) so that a person has to highlight it to read it. Just a note, anyone can read these books at any time and join in the discussion at any time too! The more the merrier!
I just finished this one this morning. It felt a little slow at the beginning, but definitely picked up at the end. I liked Elsie. She was fiesty and funny and flawed.
I just finished this today and yes, it was so slow and/or complicated at the start that I almost returned it to the library. << I did enjoy it as it got going and Elsie had a wonderful character - a very bold woman for her time! However, the book just seemed to end to me - without a promise of a continuation of the story! ??? >>
I’m glad this thread popped up. I read the Paper Magician series a couple years ago and loved them. Excited to see another from the same author. Definitely adding it to my TBR list.
Definitely! This novel is a duology, so there is a second book called Spellmaker due out some time this year.
I just finished this at 1:00am last night (this morning?) and I immediately had to download the next one. What a cliff hanger.
I haven't downloaded the sequel yet, but I definitely will. >>>>This was a weird read. It seems like they all have some sort of powers, so why did her family abandon her? It was sad that she was being used by the Cowls, but I'm glad that her guardian wasn't part of that group. Looking forward the next book.<<<< Spoiler button still not working for me.
Spoiler It's been awhile since I read this, but I'm totally guessing that her family abandoned her to protect her from something? I did download the sequel but I haven't read it yet. It was on sale for $1.99 and I had a couple credits from buying a new kindle on Prime Day.
