If you enjoy fantasy and science fiction stories, you will enjoy this one. In addition, it is a queer story with beautiful character development of young people. 📖 After the War of Kinds ravaged the Kingdom of Rabu, the Automae (designed to be the playthings of royals) usurped their owner’ estates and bent the human race to their will. 📖 Now Ayla, a human servant, dreams of avenging her family’s death by killing the Sovereign’s daughter, Lady Crier. Crier was made to be beautiful, flawless, and to carry on her father’s legacy. But that is before her betrothal to Scyre Kinok, and before she discovered that her father isn’t the benevolent king she thought. 📖 Crier’s War is not just a story set in a possible future. It is a story that deals with separatism, as well as with being different. It is a story that reflects a réalisation - and acknowledgement - of différence in one’s self. It is a story that hints at the possibility of living in harmony. It is a story that explores humanity and what it means to be human. 📖 I enjoyed Crier’s War and I look forward to reading the next novel in the series. 📖 #minibookreview #booksofhcc #fantasy #sciencefiction #crierswar #automae #bookishcanadians #bookstagram #booksinthecity

My first #bookmail from @booksparks ⚡️ I am so excited to read After Kilimanjaro by @woodsongayle ⚡️ Sarah Whitaker is burned out from surgical training. Following the advice of her boyfriend, David, she plans to spend time in Tanzania climbing Kilimanjaro and doing some medical work. Due to lack of funding, David does not go with her but Sarah decides to follow their plan anyway. ⚡️ In Tanzania Sarah learns that death in childbirth is common and is shocked by the scourge of female genital mutilation. Life in the remote village she has landed in is primitive and hazardous, and her fascination with an intriguing man diminishes her devotion to David. ⚡️ I look forward to reading this novel as it has so many elements in it that are interesting to me. ⚡️ #booksharks #contemporaryfiction #setinafrica

“I have a theory. Hating someone feels disturbingly similar to being in love with them. I’ve had a lot of time to compare love and hate, and these are my observations.” ❤️ I absolutely loved this story when I first read it: There were moments when I laughed out loud at their antics! ❤️ Have you read The Hating Game yet? ❤️ #firstlinefriday #romcombooks #favouritebooks #sallythorne #booksofhcc #contemporaryreads #bookishcanadians

I received fantastic #bookmail today: the third book in the #bularisaga 📚 I have immediately placed this novel on the top of my TBR pile. 📚 Thank you @kwakjessie for sending me a copy. 📚 #indieauthor #independentauthors #sciencefiction #sciencefictionbooks

I began Kingdom of Souls by Rena Barron last night and I am enjoying the African-themed magical story. 📖 Born to a family of powerful witchdoctors, Arrah yearns for magic of her own but each year she fails to read the bones and call upon her ancestors. 📖 Then the Kingdom’s children begin to vanish and Arrah trades her years to catch the child snatcher. 📖 I am only in the beginning chapters of the story and am keen to know what Arrah does to fight the Demon King. 📖 #currentlyreading #newreleases #booksofhcc #indigofaves #fantasy #africanfantasy #magic #witchdoctors #bookishcanadians

“The day I lost my mom, I turned left instead of right. If I had listened to her instructions, if I had turned right, she would still be here.” 📖 Today I will begin reading Break In Case of Emergency by Brian Francis. The first line of the novel makes me want to read more of this coming-of-age story that deals with mental health issues. 📖 Would you continue reading? 📖 #firstlinefriday #youngadultreads #contemporaryreads #bookblogger #bookbloggerlife #booksofhcc #frenzypresents #brianfrancis
