Fantasy and Romantasy Book Club

PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN UPDATED TO JUNE 4th.

We will be reading the current last book to the crescent city series by Sarah J Maas. This book is book 3 in the series and currently the last one published:
House of Flame and Shadow

If you have not read the A Court or Thorns and Roses Series at this point then I Highly encourage you to do so. These books series intertwine a bit and it should enhance your reading experience on this book.

This is a favorite of mine so I am REALLY looking forward to discussing this together!

This is an online virtual book club. For May we will be reading The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow.

Summary Below:
Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion’s greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children’s books and recruiting posters―but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten.

Centuries later, Owen Mallory―failed soldier, struggling scholar―falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives―and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs.

But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una’s legend―if they want to tell a different story--they’ll have to rewrite history itself.

This is an online virtual book club. For July we will be reading I, Medusa by Ayana Grey.
Please check the trigger warnings to ensure this book is right for you.

Summary Below:
Meddy has spent her whole life as a footnote in someone else’s story. Out of place next to her beautiful, immortal sisters and her parents—both gods, albeit minor ones—she dreams of leaving her family’s island for a life of adventure. So when she catches the eye of the goddess Athena, who invites her to train as an esteemed priestess in her temple, Meddy leaps at the chance to see the world beyond her home.

In Athens’ colorful market streets and the clandestine chambers of the temple, Meddy flourishes in her role as Athena’s favored acolyte, getting her first tastes of purpose and power. But when she is noticed by another Olympian, Poseidon, a drunken night between girl and god ends in violence, and the course of Meddy’s promising future is suddenly and irrevocably altered.

Her locs transformed into snakes as punishment for a crime she did not commit, Medusa must embrace a new identity—not as a victim, but as a vigilante—and with it, the chance to write her own story as mortal, martyr, and myth.

Exploding with rage, heartbreak, and love, I, Medusa portrays a young woman caught in the cross currents between her heart’s deepest desires and the cruel, careless games the Olympian gods play.
