Hey peeps!
So due to my ankle being broken I am doing pretty much nothing lately except for watching tv series. I have burned through Firefly & Serenity, Torchwood, Once Upon a Time, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, & Criminal Minds. I am also almost caught up in Arrow. All great series which I highly recommend. I've also been doing some reading. I finished the Graceling series which I loved. It's one of the series Kris likes to make of me for, saying that I should lend it to her niece. Personally, I think it's a bit dark for anyone under 16 and just because the targeted audience is teens doesn't mean us grown-ups can't enjoy it. It's set in a Realm where there are Seven main kingdoms. The first and second books have a lot of violence. In the first book the main character, Katsa is one of the Graced, meaning she has a special talent. Her grace is thought to be a killing grace. In the kingdom Katsa lives in, all gracelings belong to the King. The King uses Katsa as an enforcer of sorts, sending her to torture or kill those who cross him or owe him money or favors. The second book, Fire is mostly a war story. The main character, Fire lives is the only living Monster human. A monster is a beautiful creature with powers of suggestion and mind invasion. She is cursed with the reputation of her father who was a sadistic man. He enjoyed toying with the minds of others and torture. The third book Bitterblue, takes place eight years after the first book. This book is about uncovering the tragedies committed by the previous king. The Queen, Bitterblue, sneaks out of her castle, longing to know what is happening in her kingdom and to uncover the secrets that have been kept from her. I'm going to warn that this book does have a trigger warning for rape and torture. There were some parts that were very hard for me to get through. It doesn't go into huge detail, a lot of it is implied, but there will still entire chapters that made me feel sick.
