Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (The Empyrean #1)

Image
Violet is the youngest daughter of a war general and a scribe. She is frail and sick, so she has trained to become a scribe as opposed to her older brother and sister who all trained to be riders.  Right before she entered the school, her mother pulled her out scribe school and put her in riders one. Her statue and personality make everyone think that she will fail. But contrary to everyone's beliefs, in each and every possible situation she rises up to the challenge comes out victorious, and gets chosen by the two dragons. One of the biggest and one of the rarest to be seen by humans. Along the way, she makes friends and allies, loses a long-time crush, and falls for a sworn enemy. He helps her, protects her, and always looks out for her. They were supposed to be the biggest enemies, but the chemistry between them makes it the opposite.  Their nation relies on dragons to keep the cap on wards to protect them from the outside. But little by little it becomes obvious that what they

Ennead by Mojito, Vol. 1

Image
Ennead is a Manhwa that retells the story of the Egyptian god. The first volume is basically the intro to the story that will come and provide a backstory to some of the characters. Gods and people prospered when Orisirs led them, but he was killed and overthrown by Seth, the god of war and sand. Isis, Osiris's wife found him, saved his essence, and put him back together. They made a child. Meanwhile, Seth's ruling is cruel and not so good for people. It wasn't until now that the Gods were against it. It all seems wrong somehow like there is some hidden story behind it all that we have yet to uncover. And that what is going on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg. The art is so beautiful, it has a unique style that I just fell in love with. The storyline is very engaging and now I desperately need the rest of them. :) rating  ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover  ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ art style  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads Amazon number of pages:  296 published: November 21, 2023 happy reading, Anie
