Jumping on the My Roman Empire trend, late as usual. 😅

Not only did I pick books I haven't been able to stop thinking about, but I added a little explanation as to why. Have you read any of my Roman Empire books?

Slide text:

Slide 1: My Roman Empire* *books I can't stop thinking about

Slide 2: Vicious—and Victor's found family

Slide 3: If We Were Villains—but specifically the ending...

Slide 4: The Charm Offensive—specifically Charlie

Slide 5: Down Comes the Night—but mainly Hal Cavendish...

Slide 6: The Whispering Dark—Colton Price... need I say more?

Slide 7: The Raven Cycle—"I've been dead for seven years." 💀💀💀

Slide 8: Chrestomanci—specifically how ridiculous Christopher Chant is

Wow, what an impressive read! Especially considering the chances the author took with the unique mixing of genres.

Supernatural elements, mysterious, romantic, and horror!!!!! I really was not prepared to love this so much. The writing is gorgeous and had me wanting to soak in every word. Also, the world-building is pure genius and brings this tale to life in a magnificent way.

The characters were definitely the heart of this book. Particularly, the romance between Peter and Wyatt was an emotional overload. I recommend picking this one up!

Out April 2, 2024!

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!

She wanted to be defined. Not by the silence between her ears or her fear of the dark, but by the sum of her achievements. Not by what she couldn't do, but by what she could.

[myriad--starlings]

A ghost, too swallowed up in his passions to take notice of the child floundering in his care. His letters and his gifts had come too late. Postmarked with regrets she didn’t care to receive. Sealed with apologies she didn’t have the space to break open.

— Your Blood, My Bones, Kelly Andrew

[not-wholly-unheroic]

Have you read Kelly Andrew's "Your Blood, My Bones"? I'm not reading any more retellings until I'm through with my rough draft (bless my editor for realizing that I need structured deadlines) but its a loose retelling featuring a Hook character who went to Eton.

I haven’t read that one. I’m a bit hesitant to just because it seems so far removed from the original storyline. I’m not big on most retellings that take place in a modern setting or that otherwise take away what I feel are critical elements to the story. The quick reviews and summaries I read didn’t seem to mention much about the Hook character and I’m not sure how or if characters like Tink, Tiger Lily, the Lost Boys, Smee, and the crocodile would show up at all. It just…sounds a bit too much like the names of the characters are the only thing fully connecting them to the original Peter Pan…and even the Wendy character is called “Wyatt” instead of Wendy. So much of what makes me love the original story is related to the context and the “feel” of each character. Taking them out of both London and Neverland, removing them from their historical context in the “real” world, and possibly eliminating many other important characters in the story just washes away a lot of what makes the characters feel like themselves, ya know? Is Hook who isn’t a pirate and has no crocodile or Mr. Smee really a Hook at all? Is Peter who doesn’t have a Tink or Lost Boys really a Pan? Is “Wyatt” who seems so dark and jaded about life really the same gentle, kind, motherly Wendy we all know and love? I don’t feel like they are. I may check it out at some point, but it probably won’t make the list of retellings I have at the top of my TBR list.

“For a few minutes, the only sound was the quiet tangle of their breathing. Along the base of the windshield, a streak of lamplit condensation began to bloom. She looked starlit in the dark, her eyes glazed gold, and he wondered how badly it would hurt if he leaned in and kissed her”.

Kelly Andrew, The Whispering Dark, p. 109.
