I am not going to do much review of this book - mostly because it is the third in a series, and it would give too much away to say much. But first I will say that this series is for adults, and has some really interesting concepts and feelings in it. I actually wished that I had reread the other two books in the series (The Magicians and The Magician King) because it had been a few years since I read them. This book definitely needs the other two books with all of their history, which I loved! It was 400 pages long, and I had read about 100 pages before I started today. I think this is the longest book I will attempt today (although A Court of Thorns and Roses is pretty long too), and it feels great to have finished it.
So far in the readathon, I've been taking a break after 45 minutes of reading to get up and do something else - eat, take a shower, etc. It's helped me stay focused on my reading the rest of the time (another good tip from the guest posters at Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon. I know there is no way I'll make 24 hours of reading, but I feel pretty good so far.
On the snack front, I ate toast for breakfast early this morning, and then had the last of the smores cupcakes (recipe here). Those cupcakes are so delicious I can hardly stand it! Right now I am making Chex mix and it's almost done, but that is really for the girls - just doing it while I had time.
Back to the reading - going to read Perfect Fifths now and then make a library trip when I'm finished. See you soon!
