With a stunning cover and an interesting hook, I wondered if Dreamland by Nick Clausen, especially as it was a translation. That said, I fell absolutely in love with the story, so much so that I immediately sent the recommendation on Goodreads to my 12-and-and-a-half year old niece. It’s a very short novella, only 160 pages, but the writing is so well executed that the same piece of prose can evoke different emotions based on the reader’s experience/age; where a younger reader might find a ‘twist,’ older readers find unease at witnessing warning signs.

This Songbird Saturday, I touch upon a pairing many hate, a book series I despise, but with a song that fits my headcanon so well that I have to go there. Of course, I can only be talking about the A Court of Whatever and Whoever series, and of course I’m talking about Nesta, the only thing I’ve ever loved about that garbage fire that eventually became destroyed with the fluff piece of should’ve been fanfic that last came out (thank GOODNESS we were no longer doing the podcast when that came out, otherwise I might’ve killed myself to keep myself from reading it.)
