![One of my Favourite Series?! | Shades of Magic Spoiler-Free Review [CC]](/img/n.gif)
I'm a simple girl, I hear "magical assassin nuns in love" I click that want to read button.
me too :D
I'll have to stop watching your videos cause every each one of it makes my whislist bigger and bigger 😂😂😂
Helen Duff's narration of this Trilogy was so brilliant that I picked up a random book just to hear her voice again.
Thanks for mentioning about the Audiobook.
Highly recommended
Looks like I'm going to be picking this up. I'm currently listening to the Nevernight audio book and I am OBSESSED.
Yes, MORE ANGRY FEMALE CHARACTERS! Maybe a topic you could do a video on? Why we need more angry women, some of your personal favorites, etc. I, at least, would love to hear your thoughts and it seems like something that could be a lot of fun to talk about...
Also, this has been on my TBR on my audio book app, but you really convinced me I need to make it more of priority. It sounds awesome.
Matthew Bryan I love Essun! And pretty much every character NK Jemisin creates, angry woman or not. Haven't heard much about The Poppy War yet but I'll be sure to check it out now, thanks for the recommendation!
Mark Lawrence is my favorite author so I might be biased, but his other two trilogy's are also great.
They are definitely darker, but the thing he does great is you truly see though a characters eyes. One is a psychopath the other is a cowardly scoundrel.
"magical assassin nuns" alright i need to read this now
I’ve been thinking about reading this book for a while but now that you said you loved it I’m definitely putting a hold on it from the library lol ❤️
Girl, you had me at magical assassin nuns😂😂😂 MY BODY IS READY
"It is important, when killing a nun, to ensure that you bring an army of sufficient size. For Sister Thorn of the Sweet Mercy convent Lano Tacsis brought two hundred men."
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍...Top 5 best opening lines...
LOVE LOVE the audiobook version of this! Such an amazing story brought to life by the narrator.
Glad you enjoyed it! I read Red Sister in paperback a month ago and it really became one of my favorites so far. I absolutely love Red Sister and how girl focused it is.
I've got this on hold at the library, and your review made me so excited to read it! Your enthusiasm is contagious :)
I hope you love it!
killer monks/priests/nuns is probably one of my favorite fantasy tropes and people keep recommending red sister, so I'm going to pick it up soon!
yesss
I totally agree with everyone saying that if you love this you should read nevernight!! The narration in nevernight seems to be hit or miss for some people but I personally found it HILARIOUS and has a lot of similar themes. Religiousy school for assassins, strong friendships, ladies loving ladies, ruthlessness, crazy action ahh!
My best friend is a big mark Lawrence fan and she bought me all of his books for my birthday. I was planning on reading them in pub order but your making me want to jump to red sister!
I was so impressed!
I listened to the audiobook and I loved every single second of it! Nona is one of my favorite characters ever and I can't stop gushing about this book!!
You had me at hello:P or name of the wind with ladies💜 I need this audiobook:)
I dont understand why there arent that many fans for this series. Its criminally underrated.
Sam I just found your channel and love it. Only one problem I'm going to go broke buying all the books lol. Love love love your reviews! I just bought this book the other day but have to finish Temeraire (which I'm loving btw) first.
I haven't read this book yet. I'm considering it because I'm just about finished with Mark Lawrence's second trilogy, which takes place in the same world as his first trilogy, but with a very creative and very different tone from his first series. Regarding the "magic is convoluted" statement, you should 100% read his other works, and once you do, what I think you'll find is not only is he a very rare and very creative talent in fiction, but he's scary intelligent and well-educated (physics degree and mathematics PhD, research scientist in AI, holds secret clearances in both the US and the UK governments, etc.) and he writes very layered very deep books that can be read on several levels. When I say several levels I mean several. Like his first two series I'm just finishing up are all about the philosophy of moral relativism and so, so, so much more. There is so much depth of hidden meaning in the way he structures his stories and by the end of each book you will unlock major revelations to the plot and to the world building you didn't understand at the beginning of the story. These "unlocks" will get bigger each book until you finally get a strong sense of what it was all about and how it really all worked towards the end of the last book. As such, while the first books will be the biggest challenge in that structure, I highly recommend after finishing the series to read up on the hidden meanings of the book and then go back and reexperience the stories with a full perspective on events and world structure as I promise it will be an entirely new experience from the first time.
I loves good female friendship story!!
Your hair is very pretty! :) I have your same curly hair type and haircut, but my hair is much frizzier. What do you do to make your hair less frizzy? What products do you use?
The promise of the book reminds me a bit of Grave Mercy and Nevernight... which i both loved!!! I will def give this a go!!!
I tried to start this Audiobook and didnt like the narrator at all but my BT buddy Christeena really enjoyed the narrator! I ended up DNFing it early on. I'll try it physically one day. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
-Jess
i swear my TBR shelf is full with ur recommendations 😂
yay!
It's interesting for a man to write so many female characters. I already finished the 'Girl' trilogy part of which overlaps in the same world as this book. Great read though not if you want to get to sleep. Looking forward to the ending and the next two books.
As loads of people have said this sounds so similar to Nevernight, I recently read prince of fools by Mark Lawrence and really liked it so I'm excited to read this. As I know you like magic schools you should really read the lightbringer series by Brent Weeks, that book has a magic school too but also so much more, it's fantastic. The books are big but easy to get through, I'm a postgrad student too but I'm flying through the third book!
Both Nevernight and Lightbringer are on my TBR! I didn't realize Lightbringer had a magical school so that definitely bumps it up the list!
I avoided the new-in paperback copy of this in the library last week cos I am one book in to sooo many fantasy series rn and so bad at mopping them up but I think if it's there when I next go I've just gotta get it out and deal with it
I walked the path after reading this series.
I've been trying to get into audiobooks with little success because I rarely like the way the narrator overacts or handles dialogue with multiple characters, but I really want to give this one a try now. Of course, that means that my library system doesn't have the audiobook on Overdrive. Naturally.
The book sounds interesting. I'll be checking out the Amazon sample. BTW, if you don't mind me saying, your skin looks like it's glowing--it's a compliment. It's probably your new lighting setup... or you're just really happy about your new place? Either way, glow on ;^)
probably both lol thank you
In one of your last videos you mentioned a love of urban fantasy. Do you have any recs? I've been looking for a good one.
I basically grew up on both of Laurel K Hamilton's series, but especially the Anita Blake one. It's neverending and it starts going downhill around book...11ish but holds a special place in my heart
I am so excited to read this!!❤
Like NAME OF THE WIND.. OK that intrigued me
Hi! I just discovered your channel, I just finished this book and I love it! Yeah more female angry characters please, and I really like this magical world, I mean as you said nuns killers what else? xD I'm so excited to go to the library for the second part. I've seen you read lots of fantasy books. Which other books would you recommend me with female strong characters? Because I can of looking for it, can't be only men fighters. Thanks so much! I'm subscribing to your channel 😘😘
I have a lot of videos on my favorite fantasy books and most feature female characters :)
Yesss!!!! I am so ready for this!!!
Added to my TBR!
This sounds so good!
I really want to read this now, but i’m reading Nevernight at the moment and they sound a lot similar and i don’t want to mix them up...
Btw, please read Nevernight when you have a chance. It’s soooo gooood!
I liked it a lot but like I mentioned before the young age of the girls made me cringe a bit. I still really enjoyed the book. Did you think Mark Lawrence used the voice (and inner voice) of a 10-12 year old for Nona though? I had many moments of thinking this is not a child speaking or thinking this. Maybe in this world they just are forced to grow up a lot faster.
...and for those who said they " don't get it ? "...we offer our most sincere pity and scorn 😐
I really really hope this is good. I love assassin's, I love lady characters, and training sequences are my jam. But.
Nevernight. Was noooot good. Or at least in my opinion. And it also had all of these things. Nevernight felt like it was trying to hard to be edgy. Hopefully Mark Lawrence can do it better.
The magic system and assassin combo reminded me of Naruto, but better
Hi, where can I find the audio book
any audiobook app
Great review, but I personally disagree about the audiobook, I could hardly stand the narrator.
