Inner Jedi Notebook: Week 12

Week 12 of my Inner Jedi Notebook journey. The prompt: Rey learns much from the sacred Jedi texts that were once housed on Ach-To. What are some books that are important to you, and why? My answer: Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. Jane Eyre is the first “classic” book that I fell in love with. I first read it in the ninth grade and loved it.

Favourite fantasy book series

I'm due for a reread for several, if not most of these, and I'm really interested to see how they rank with other people!

So please vote for your favourite of these and let me know which ones I've missed!

In no particular order:

The Lord of the Rings isn't on there because it has the uncontested top place in my heart, mind and soul forever and ever anyways and I can't chance it not taking first place in a poll on my blog, I would probably literally cry.

#books #fantasy literature #reading community #I don't know how to tag non fandom things #polls #my polls #in case I ever make more #please do give me recs #but also don't roast me too much for leaving out things there's only so many spots in these tumblr polls #also I've got a whole pile of German fantasy literature let me know if you want a poll for these #I've realised I haven't talked fantasy literature with anyone in too long #so please tell me about your favourites #lessa says

The Summoned ones - book review

(AF) The Summoned Ones by Darryl A. Woods

I had high hopes for The Summoned Ones. The premise sounded intriguing and reminded me of Guy Gavriel Kay’s The Fionovar Tapestry. I hoped it’d be an engaging adventure blurring our world with a magical one.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The two worlds blended but, from the very start, the pacing was slow, the characters flat and the lack of tension failed to hold my attention.

There were a lot of key characters: eight chosen friends, a couple of commanders, a blacksmith and a few clerics, to name but a few. So many characters made it increasingly difficult to connect or empathise with any; you didn’t get to know anyone. It’s difficult to explore even the main characters: remaining in groups gave them little opportunity to distinguish themselves as individuals.
