Why is this not illegal?

Good afternoon Womble 😊
I'm in the middle of the second book in the Highglade trilogy by DL Jennings, Awaken the three, and boy oh boy is it getting good.
Still listening to Gods of the woods by Liz Moore on audiobook

You had me at animal companion 😅 that one sits on my reading table already

Good afternoon Womble. About to finish Jay kristoff's Nervernight - a nice fantasy about an assassin school. It has a talking shadow Cat in it 😎
Listening to Gods of the wood as an audiobook as well

On my TBR as of yesterday. I reckon you like it?

It is the story of loss and sacrifice and how it destroys people that can't stop fighting.
It is a story that will stay with me, also I'm sure this is absolutely not for everyone.

with deeply human characters and a heartbreaking storyline.
It begins being a Harry Potter "what if the dark side wins" mix with the Handmaid's tale but evolves into a story of the evils of war and telling the tale that there are no winners in it.

This is also not a book, but a fanfiction. which of course brings its "problems" (no editing is done) but also "advantages" (the complete freedom to write and the rawness of the story).
I see all the problematic issues with it that people have mentioned but in the end this is beautiful written,

og finner et Fjordtroll. Og spør du meg, kunne alle trenge et Fjordtroll som Hallgrim - en som fanger deg når du faller, en som bærer deg rundt i fjorden når du selv ikke kan svømme, en som forklarer deg at det egentlig er trollnorsk og ikke nynorsk og som gir deg en sommer full av eventyr

I really liked the diversity of all the different creature, from angels, shifters, witches, demons and even a nøkk. The romance is somewhat expected and reads sometimes as a checklist of typical tropes.
All in all an exciting reading into a creative world.

Here it is the mystery of a series of murders and getting hints and thinking the story reveals itself, just to get a curve ball.
But then the end is fast paced, page-turning and heartbreaking as always.

That is adorable 😍
