A Year in (Book) Review: My 2024 Reading Journey 📚
#6 - The Legacy of Yangchen by F. C. Yee
Fantasy / Chronicles of the Avatar #4 / 336 pages / published 2023 / Finished Jan. 11
One Sentence Review: Even better than its predecessor, Legacy enriches the world and history of the Avatar world even further, ties up all loose ends, mends the rifts that were so distressing to me in the first book, expands the political complexities of the world, and gives all characters a satisfying ending.
Favorite Quotes
"Everyone wanted to write history, but there was only so much ink to go around."
*
"Maybe the world, blithely dancing along the precipice, needed to know what it was like to fall."
*
"You are so deep in my pocket, you're covered in lint."
*
"The true mind could weather illusions without being lost. The true heart could touch poison without being harmed."
*
"The work would wait for you, no matter the ragged tear in your spirit. Work would be a lover in your bed as you wept, ever present and steady, cradling you when you woke up soaked in your sweat, unsure of how long you'd lost consciousness. You still have me. You always have me."

A Year in (Book) Review: My 2024 Reading Journey 📚
#11 - Silhouette by Justin Richards
Science fiction / Doctor Who #97 / 258 pages / published 2014 / Finished Jan. 18
One Sentence Review: A fun, in-character jaunt into my favorite two-hearted, time-traveling alien's world, with an interesting mystery, fun references to past incarnations, and a hilarious, homicidal potato-man - though it reads more like a TV script translated to prose than a book in its own right most of the time.
Favorite Quotes
"'Trust is a good thing,' Clara told him. 'You get nowhere if you don't trust people.'"
*
"I'm a doctor of so many things I forget more than half of them."
*
"And for your information, my style - my incredibly stylish style - is uncrampable."
*
"The latest person to accost him was a young man in a tweed jacket and mismatched bowtie, with a flop of hair that looked as if it was about to detatch itself from his head and go solo."
*
DOCTOR: Try to fit in.
CLARA: Right ... I'll just go and splash in a few puddles, soak my clothes in gin, and knock out several of my front teeth, shall I?
DOCTOR: If you think it will help.

#5 - Conceal, Don't Feel by Jen Calonita
Fantasy / Twisted Tales #7 / 285 pages / published 2019 / Finished Jan. 9
One Sentence Review: If I wanted to watch Frozen, I'd turn on Disney Plus - and no, I won't let it go!
Favorite Quotes
"After a storm comes the sun."
*
"If only she embraced the beauty in her life and the magic she'd been gifted - gifted, not cursed with! - then she could move mountains. Or at least thaw out the countryside."
*
"The mountain was a kingdom of isolation, and it looked like she was the queen ... The cold never bothered her, anyway."
*
"A memory of love had led her to create a walking, talking snowman."
*
"'It's true,' Olaf chimed in. 'Elsa wasn't happy about her hair. They wanted her to wear it up, and she said, 'Olaf, should I wear it down?' And I said, 'I don't have any hair.' He pointed to the twigs on his head."
