Jay Tea Moriarty<p>From "The Lady of Sorrows", by Cecelia Dart-Thorton. Book 2 in The Bitterbynde series.</p><p>A truly gorgeous fantasy series that breathes life into old folk tales of the Irish, Scottish and English isles.</p><p>I read book 1 while looking after my child-bot, reading through lunch times while he slept against my leg, both of us too hot for anything more than that.</p><p>I have been uncertain what to read for a while, so I thought of trying the Marie Kondo method (pick up an item of clothing/junk around your house. If it doesn't make you go Yay! then get rid of it).</p><p>I totally forgot about the idea until I opened book 2 randomly today, read 1 paragraph of the "Last Time" and felt such a torrent of happiness and joy to be back with old friends again, in a realm I missed very much. I haven't felt that joy and privilege to find a book I love so much, in maybe 4 years?</p><p>So I'm happy, and excited, and heavily suggesting the book to you.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/amreading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amreading</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ceceliadartthorton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ceceliadartthorton</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/bitterbynde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bitterbynde</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/trilogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trilogy</span></a></p><p>Oh and my favourite bit? Cecelia was personal friends with the late great Tannith Lee (the best writer of scifi/fantasy you don't know about, may she rest in peace) and the book is only 10 chapters long, despite being 600+ pages.</p><p>I adore <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> that make up the rules for themself by themself.</p><p>Love you all,<br>Moriarty.</p>
