این اولین تجربه‌ی سفرنامه خوندنم بود.
این کتاب رو با تمام و کمال دوست داشتم. درگیری‌های نویسنده و پرسش‌های قشنگش درباره زندگی ، مرگ و سفر برام بسیار لذت بخش و در عین حال تامل‌بر‌انگیز بود. 
جزو اون دسته کتاب‌هایی هستش که حتما بهش برمی‌گیردم و دوباره می‌خونمش و جملاتش رو مرور می‌کنم.
      

        “You wear so much armour  by daylight that, by night, you can carry it no longer. By night, you are only flesh. And even the flesh of a queen is prone to fear.
In darkness, we are naked. Our truest selves. Night is when fear comes to us at its fullest, when we have no way to fight it. It will do everything it can to seep inside you. Sometimes it may succeed - but never think that you are the night.”

What a journey...
I was left speechless at the end of this book.

It's definitely a chunky read, but  my god, each page was amazing. I was not bored for a moment, and I loved every word written in this book. 

This was my first Epic fantasy read, and I had high hopes for it since many people suggested it as one of the best. I'm beyond satisfied about my experience. 

The world-building of this book is extremely well done.The first 200 pages are a little hard to get through since you are getting familiar with the world-building and  many characters. There is so much detail about each part of this world and how its politics and religions work. Once you get the hang of it all, it's very hard to put the book down.

This book is full of strong, authentic women, who had to make tough calls and sacrifices but also stay true to themselves and what feels right.  It is worth mentioning that the male characters were also very well written, and their roles in the book were perfectly executed. I absolutely loved the characters of this book—even the villains.

What a great adventure it was. I will miss this world  and all the characters in it.
      

        There once was a girl, clever and good, who tarried in shadow in the depths of the wood. There also was a king, a shepherd by his crook, who reigned over magic and wrote the old book. The two were together so the two were the same, The girl, the king, and the monster they became."


I never thought the second book would be better than the first. 

The story continues where the first book ends and this time the book has three story lines happening at the same time and we go back and forth between them although at the end they somehow become one.

The second book gave me the chance to come to love Elm and Ione more and understand them better. I loved their story line. I absolutely loved the backstory of the cards and the Shepherd king. 

It was such a great journey reading this book. I had so much fun and also there were times that I really did get emotional.
      

        "Be wary. Be clever. Be good."

When I got to this book I wasn't expecting much since I just picked it up since my friend suggested it. I never thought I would finish it so fast and that  I would love it so much. 

If you love dark atmospheric fantasy that romance is not the main plot this book is for you. 

It's definitely one of my favorite books. I loved the characters, the unique magic system and also the world-building. 

The story follows our main character, Elspeth Spindle,  who has a big secret that if it ever becomes uncovered her life will end. While trying to maintain her normal life in the shadows she comes across people who will change her life forever and this encounter also changes them. 

I can definitely see why it got the hype on social media and I say it's well-deserved.
      

        من وقتی کتاب رو شروع کردم می‌دونستم قرار نیست خفن ‌ترین کتاب دنیا رو بخونم. اما فکرش رو هم نمی‌کردم اینقدر معمولی باشه. 
واقعا برای من این یک کتاب معمولی بود. به طور کلی کتاب خوبیه و پیامی که داره قشنگه. اما واقعا می‌تونست بهتر و زیباتر این مفاهیم رو برسونه. 
آیا حسم نسبت به زندگی بعد این کتاب تغییر کرد؟ برای پنج دقیقه بله اما همین.  اما تا تموم بشه کتاب می‌تونم بگم تقریبا حوصله‌ام سر رفته بود. 
پیام کتاب قشنگه اما دوست داشتم خلاقانه ‌تر بود.
