Reading project, week ending 19 February 2023

What have I read this week?

The Route of Ice and Salt by José Luis Zárate

This is a horror novel retelling the journey of the Demeter, the ship which brings Dracula to England, from the point of view of its captain. I found it really interesting, and it was definitely a different take on the Dracula mythos. I would probably read more by this author.

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

This is a fantasy novel about a teenage girl named Bree, who discovers a secret society of magicians when she goes to college. I didn’t like this; I wasn’t interested in the characters or the plot, so I didn’t finish it. I probably won’t read more by this author.

Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell

This is a fantasy novel about Kellen, a teenage boy who is approaching his last chance to become a mage. It is the first book in the Spellslinger series. I really enjoyed this; I found the characters interesting and the world was really interesting. I will definitely read more by this author.
