2022 Book Awards & Superlatives

I read a number of like Gothic horrory books within the last year and quite enjoyed them I read Mexican Gothic I read Juniper and Thorne I read Diary of blood

this was a book a book I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did it has a lot of things that I know a lot of people like myself love as far as like sentient forests and Animal Companions and like that kind of stuff nature magic

I loved the second book it's a little bit different from the first book because the first book has this build up to this big event that's happening so there's just like countdown nature to it which I just think is hard to sort of top in a second book but I like this almost just as much

it gave what I was expecting it to give and more and just the correct amount of hype for this book

I mean this popped up on my favorites list for a reason just because of the quality of the writing the descriptions and the unsettling nature of this Gothic Horror Story that is really well done without it being like too overly done

I read a number of like Gothic horrory books within the last year and quite enjoyed them I read Mexican Gothic I read Juniper and Thorne I read Diary of blood

I didn't really love Nona quite as much as I love the other books in the series

the way that it's done in here the way that the magic Works in here the different types of magic in here all things that we've maybe seen in some capacity but combined here incredibly unique the cultures in here yeah just very interesting

it's very sweet and just the combination of all of them so delightful and just like the differences in cultures and misunderstandings and communication but also coming together just a delight

the way that fairy tale is used and interwoven the symbolism behind mother Maiden Crone within witchcraft lore like the beats and the way that the story is done in a very like fairy tale way all of that was really intentional and well done
