I LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS BOOK 💙💙💙 the world, the magic, the writing, the perfect scenes, my gosh it was like one perfect scene after another. They each painted a picture and not once did I want to skim over a section. I can't recommend this book enough 🙌🏻 • "part of him craved that look, yearned for her eyes on him the way a flower strained for the sun. But if he were a flower, he would no doubt be poison." • ""Smart little bird." Her nose crinkled. "I am not even remotely birdlike." Cassius reached up and plucked one of the many feathers from her headdress, trailing it over her cheeks. She opened her mouth, and then closed it, scowling up at him. He laughed, the sound rumbling in his throat." • I may be in the minority here, but I literally l i v e d for Cassius' chapters, I loved him. Literally loved him. I volunteer, I sacrifice myself, but I'll marry him and Rora won't have too. Everyone wins. The end. 😅😘 I can't wait for the next installment and I plan on grabbing up the rest of Cora's books to tide me over till then. • Happy Saturday everyone!!! • Day 17 #bookishsummertrinkets boats and ships 🚢 I don't have a ship pictured but I do have a ship and it's unequivocally Cassias and Rora, my gut is saying he's not a bad guy ... lol I guess we'll find out next year 😩😭 • Day 17 #booksandbakingjune17 retelling, my absolute favorite retellings are any of the Greek Myths. • Day 17 #grimdragon violent book, Roar was filled to the brim with violent storms 🌪⛈⚡️ • Day 17 #fanaticalbirdjune back of the book, you'll just have to trust me .. it's gorgeous 😉 • • • #roar #rora #aurora #cassius #kiranthorne #ROARday #coracarmack #ya #stormheart #stormling #ya #newrelease #currentlyreading #booksandcandles #pleasegoreadthis #etsy #mermaids #ilovethisbook #roarbycoracarmack #themeltinglibrary #themeltinglibrarysampler #drinkme #amarantha

Roar by Cara Cormack is a novel that rolls in, displays its destructive brilliance, and leaves the land decimated in its path. That is to say, the novel is an incredibly inventive YA fantasy novel written with passion and care. Aurora Pavan is to inherit the throne as the last descendant in a line of powerful Stormlings, but unlike the rest of her family, she is powerless. For years, her mother has ferreted her away so that their people only have a chance to recognize Aurora’s power from afar without inspecting her abilities. Carmack cleverly constructed Aurora’s personality with these constraints in mind. So while, Aurora is a strong, argumentative character, that strength and skill come from a place of perceived inferiority. Her love for literature fits in with her lack of close friends, her combat abilities come from a place of powerlessness, and her tactical abilities have been drilled into her by a mother preparing her for a throne with no power. And so, when she is betrothed to a Stormling prince, she is struck by a need to defend her kingdom in the best way possible. On her path towards power, she encounters the world she has never been exposed to. One that could endanger her life and her kingdom’s well-being in the process. The storm magic in Roar is utterly unique and I cannot help but thank the gods that the magic is constrained by legitimate rules. Without giving too much away, I would also like to commend Carmack’s portrayal of a relationship based on consent. With the uncertainty left in my heart over the ending of the novel, I will eagerly be awaiting the next book in the series.

Even though I no longer own a shop, I had so much fun creating scent profiles for candles. I am not sure I would want to do it again. It was a lot of work and never really turned a profit for me. Today I am taking time to reflect on things that have happened in my life over the years. Do you ever think about your past? I’m a person that feels like we should learn from our past. Both our own and history. If we know where we came from then maybe we can do better for the future. Happy Saturday! . . . . . . . .
