It's Wednesday, and you know what that means? It's time for some bookish discussions! This time around we have the 'quick fire fantasy tag'. This may have been a quick fire tag, but it sure did take some time for me to figure out what books to pick.


I found this tag on Zeezee with Books, but the tag was originally created by the bookworm dreamer, so all credit goes to them.



Here we go!


 

5-STAR BOOK(S)


I rarely give books anything higher than a 4.5 rating because I feel like I need a certain connection with a book to give it 5 stars. So, in the spirit of good vibes, I am going to list both a manga and a book that I thought deserved 5 stars.



Seeing as this volume is far into the series, I can't talk about it too much because spoilers, but my emotions were going wild while I was reading this. After I finished it I had to sit there and calm myself down.





I spent the last 20% of this book actively trying not to cry, which says enough about why I couldn't rate this any less than 5 stars. This book just devastated me, but in the best way possible.






ALWAYS GOING TO RECOMMEND - Under the Aegis


Webcomics as a whole are underrated and I am always going to recommend that more people read them. This was one of the webcomics that I rated 5 stars because it was so good. This is a great fantasy story with found family and I was so giddy after I finished reading it.



OWN IT BUT HAVEN'T READ - The Chronicles of Narnia


Of the very few books I physically own, I have this omnibus and I have yet to actually read it. I only recently started listening to the audiobooks even though I have owned this book for a decade...







WOULD READ AGAIN - Sorcery of Thorns


I know it's coming and you know it's coming...I seriously need to read this book again. I hesitantly gave this a 4.5 rating on the condition that I read it again to see if it deserves a 5 star rating. I haven't stopped thinking about this book since I read it though.






IN ANOTHER WORLD- The Lord of the Rings


I am unsure whether I am just supposed to pick a book set in another world, or one I would like to visit. I also would repeat my answer from the last question here, but to mix things up a bit, I went with a classic answer - Middle Earth. Hobbiton just sounds like such a peaceful place to live.






BACK ON EARTH - A Discovery of Witches


As much as I would like to say every manga ever, I'm going to restrain myself by picking a book instead. While I had some issues with this book, the fact that it was set partially in Oxford's Bodleian Library did it for me. Give me a library setting and I am automatically there for it.
