This tag was created by Layla @ Readable Life and I couldn’t resist giving it a go! Six of Crows is one of my favourite novels, so how could I say no to a book tag inspired by it?

Kaz Brekker

A book that you value the most in your collection

Signal to Noise by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is one of my favourite novels and I have a signed copy that I love having on my shelf.

Inej Ghafa

A book that stabbed you in the heart with feels

I’m still not over The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. It’s one of my favourites and it hurt me deeply.

Jesper Fahey

A book that you took a gamble on that paid off

I think that would be Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik. I didn’t love Uprooted so I wasn’t sure that another fairy tale imagining from Novik would be for me, but this ended up being one of my all-time favourite novels.

Nina Zenik

A favourite book with an awesome magic system

I really enjoyed the magic system in Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett—I love that it’s essentially coding in a fantasy world.

Matthias Helvar

A book that seemed intimidating, but you really enjoyed by the end

I was a little intimidated by The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin because parts of it are written in second person, but I ended up loving it and it’s one of my favourite series.

Wylan Van Eck

A book that had a surprising ending

That would be Feed by Mira Grant. I’m still not over it.

Kuwei Yul-Bo

A book that you have a fiery passion for

Have I ever mentioned how much I love The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison?

Pekka Rollins

A book that you felt betrayed you

I should have loved Fires of the Faithful by Naomi Kritzer! It’s Italian-inspired f/f fantasy with a focus on religious turmoil, all things I love in a story, and it ended up being a 1 star read for me.

Tante Heleen

A book with a stunning cover that you didn’t love

The illustration on the cover of Phoenix Unbound by Grace Draven is beautiful, but this book and I did not get along.

Jordie Rietveld

A book that you thought about for weeks after finishing it

I still think about A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini a lot, and I read it last summer.

Joost

A book character that you wish had more page time

I like Azareen from the Strange the Dreamer duology a lot and I’d’ve liked to have seen even more of her. Her relationship with Eril-Fane got me in the feels more than Lazlo and Sarai’s.
