New Books, Old Books, Read Books!
The Last Wish is a uniquely compiled book that consists of short stories with over-arching interludes that connect them together. If you’ve watched the Netflix series, you will be familiar with several of these stories. It’s well worth coming along for the ride with Geralt, Dandelion (Jaskier), and Yennefer.

I will freely admit to picking up this book solely due to the beautiful cover. I can see why some people adore this book, but I never fell in love with the characters or their stories. There was enough plot resolution at the end of this book that I am ambivalent about what happens in the rest of the trilogy.

Steampunk is not one of my usual genres, which led to this book languishing on my shelf for far too long. A unique, beautiful world, memorable characters, and action-packed battles kept me enthralled.

Ransome’s Honor has a lot in common with one of my favorite books, Persuasion by Jane Austen. The main characters are both older with the maturity experience brings. The navy plays a large part as it is central to both Julia and William’s families. A close-knit group of family and friends are easy to fall in love with, and an engagement that never happened is in their past. It’s truly a pity that Julia and William were such frustrating characters who acted the opposite of their established backgrounds.
