Romantasy.

A mix of Romance and Fantasy.

Not a genre I'm familiar with, nor one that - to be honest - really holds all that much appeals to me. However, I still thought I would give this a go, mainly out of curiosity.

This is the first in Sarah J Maas's 'Court of Thorns and Roses' series, set in a not-too-dissimilar world to our except where fairies (and not necessarily the Tinkerbell, happy-go-lucky type) are real, and in which - after killing one such who was in shapeshifted wolf form to feed her starving family - Feyre is dragged across the wall (which is the dividing line between their world and ours) to the faerie realm, where things prove not at all to be what she expected.

I can say I've read it now.

I *may* read some more of the series, but not in any rush to do so.

Was this on the Women’s Prize 2025 short list? Well if it wasn’t, it should have been. Top tier historical fiction, in my opinion. There’s a real sense of time and place – medieval times weren’t nice or easy to live in. Born a vagabond, orphaned and left to fend for herself, Tibb has an uncanny ability to fall in with people who will (largely) help her. Namely Ivo, who she meets shortly after the death of her mother, and some of the people in a travelling group of minstrels. Tibb is a truly wonderful character: she’s bold, adventurous and always makes the best of what she has. She hasn’t let the world turn her into a bitter, hateful person, and let’s just say that the world has had plenty of opportunities to do that! The narrative voice is so different from what I’ve read/ listened to before. Just perfect!

There's a lot to say about this movie. It's a documentary about the various and often dueling houses of pre-Giuliani New York subculture. We're introduced to people like Dorian Corey, who has become a figure of respect and pride in the LGBTQ+ community. We hear their stories, often tragic ones. But we also see a celebration of style, fashion, and self in the balls that were thrown in underground clubs and dives. I can't recommend this movie more highly. One of my favorite quotes comes from Dorian Corey in this documentary:

"I always had hopes of being a big star. But as you get older, you aim a little lower. Everybody wants to make an impression, some mark upon the world. Then you think, you've made a mark on the world if you just get through it, and a few people remember your name. Then you've left a mark. You don't have to bend the whole world. I think it's better to just enjoy it. Pay your dues, and just enjoy it. If you shoot an arrow and it goes real high, hooray for you."

Coming to this book from the movie was a mistake but not a bigger one than reading this then watching the movie.

In a strangely possible future that sees the real world being second to virtual world of the Oasis, Wade Watts finds himself orphaned and obsessed with the 80s and all levels of geek and pop trivia. This obsession grows as he along with millions of others are undertaking a quest to control the virtual world and basically be the king of both worlds. Many movies, computer games, songs and even breakfast cereals are dissected in great detail and this attention to detail makes the book for me and is where it had me hooked. If you love nostalgia then this book will be a dream of not then it could be too much.

The story is packed with twists and turns with the obligatory love interest make this book fun, interesting and gripping in equal measure.

Book then movie, I need to learn to remember that one of these days
