Wrap up
I aimed to finish the series The Dark Artifices by Cassandra Clare, and I did. It was exactly what I was expecting - easy to read, tense at times, romantic at others. It was great, just what I wanted out of it. I did read a few articles for university, but the stand out one was The impact of the Antonine plague by RP Duncan-Jones. It was a little depressing to be reading about a plague while one is happening right now... and for those curious, I have no idea when I'll be getting my vaccine, and yes I will obviously be getting it.
I wanted to read the entire series The Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan, but I only read the first two books, The Natural History of Dragons and The Tropic of Serpents. I'm very excited to see where this series goes. I love how it feels historical, like a regency novel, but it has dragons. Since I didn't finish the series, I will be continuing it through March. Lady Trent is such a wonderful narrator, full of wit and hindsight. She talks about being an old lady while writing, and she tells you she survived, but the question is always the cost of her survival. It is the perfect Sunday afternoon series.
