Seriously guys go read the Fallen Isles trilogy. It's really good, and it's refreshingly unique in YA fantasy.

My spoiler free recommendation: Book one opens with the protagonist, Mira Minkoba, being led down into the worst prison in all the Fallen Isles to be locked away, far from her family, friends, and her beloved dragons. We quickly learn that she used to be a prominent political figurehead, but we still don't know why she's being locked up, or what crimes she committed. Throughout the book we see Mira trying to survive the physical turmoil and psychological torture she undergoes being held prisoner, while a series of flashbacks throughout the book reveal what happened that caused her to be locked up.

And over the next few books, Mira tries to save the world's dragons and stop fantasy Armageddon from happening. 🙃 So yes, it escalates very quickly from "survive fantasy prison" in book 1 to "survive the end of our world as we know it and try to save the dragons along the way" in the other books. And the books are THICK, if you're someone like me who loves reading long books.

The representation is very good--Mira's Black, obviously, and has either anxiety or OCD--and her growth is fantastic, the political intrigue is gripping, the love interest is an actual feminist unlike a certain bat from acotar and is a Black man who's allowed to be soft and shy, there's DRAGONS, the worldbuilding makes ACOTAR's look incredibly shoddy, the magic system is unique, the weaving of religion and culture and how the different religions everyone the main cast has affects their relationships with each other is a theme I thought the author explored very well, especially as their religion's prophecies about said fantasy Armageddon are coming true. If you want a "strong female character" who doesn't wave around a sword, but uses her wit, intelligence, connections, and charm to forge her own path, then this book series is for you.

It deserves wayyyy more hype, and it's an injustice that this series is so underrated.

DNFed: When She Reigns by Jodi Meadows

Technically, I never even started this book. I loved the first instalment of the trilogy when I read it back in 2017 then bought the next two books when they came out but never got around to reading them. And now, I've apparently outgrown this story.

It makes me a little sad, because the story isn't bad, the main character is disabled, side characters are diverse, it has dragons! But I always found something more interesting to read and live's too short to hang on to it. And I can finally cross it off my #tbrbusterchallenge list after two (three?) years.

Title: Salvation Cycle

Author: Jodi Meadows

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2022

Genres: fiction, fantasy, paranormal, romance

Blurb: In the middle of nothingness is the continent of Salvation. Reality bends easily here - villages disappear; forests burn forever; pockets of inconsistent time are everywhere, their boundaries strung with yellow ribbon; the three kingdoms of Salvation have been at war for a thousand years. But the greatest threat is the Malice, an incursion from the demon plane slowly tearing its way through the world’s weakest seams...seams that, once split, will lead to the total unravelling of night and day, light and dark, life and death. Not that the human world takes much interest - of more concern is the upcoming marriage of Rune Highcrown, prince of Caberwill, and Johanne Fortuin, princess of Embria, the serpent bride, a girl of famous cunning, which offers a possible end to the ancient conflict. But Rune has noticed the growing darkness, and he is determined to summon mankind’s only defence: Nightrender, the hammer of the gods, an immortal warrior more weapon than girl. There is only one problem: the last time she was summoned, she slaughtered every royal in Salvation, and no one knows why. Will she save humanity from the Malice...or plunge it deeper into the fires of eternal war?

listen I know it's how their society worked with the reincarnation stuff but like can you imagine being pregnant and going to the hospital and giving birth and your newborn daughter is your former husband. and not only do you not freak out but that's expected to happen. like that just happens there and I'm. I'm not sure what I'd do in that situation

#newsoul trilogy #incarnate trilogy #jodi meadows #i'm not actually sure which one it's called #but like??? if I died and then my former wife became my mother figure. where do you go from there? #the gender switchery is cool though. didn't appreciate that enough when I read the trilogy like five years ago #but the fact that people just get born into different bodies and everyone's like yeah that's how things work :) #is pretty cool #anyway. good morning #thinking about a series I read many many years ago because this is the one thing that stood out to me #tw pregnancy

Title: As She Ascends | Author: Jodi Meadows | Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books (2018)

#books #As She Ascends #Jodi Meadows

[the-forest-library]

EXCLUSIVE: Amazon Studios has greenlighted historical comedy series My Lady Jane for Prime Video, with Emily Bader (Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin), Edward Bluemel (Killing Eve) and Jordan Peters (Blue Story) set to star.

Rising American actress Bader will take on the titular role of Lady Jane. Based on the 2016 YA historical fiction novels, the series will follow an irreverent young Tudor woman who dreads her arranged marriage, only to be surprised when it results in a steamy romance, her being crowned Queen and a heroic mission to save the magical people persecuted by her political rivals. Taking short-lived British monarch Lady Jane Grey as its inspiration, the popular novel was penned by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand and Jodi Meadows.
