Meine letzte Rezension War Hour von Lauren Loscig
3,75 Stars ⭐️ War Hour follows Lysta, and begins with a harsh life, no money (same) and no support on the unforgiving streets of Valor. After a small series of events she ends up being forced into facing a deadly trial that leaves her stronger than ever. Is the man next to her someone she can trust? Will she come out of this alive and fight for her people? She grapples with shattered perceptions of her world, questioning the trust she placed in those around her and the persistent lies she had been fed. And AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH THE CLIFF HANGER! I WANTED TO SEE MORE OF TORRYN! ✨ I first read War Hour back in 2023 as an ARC reader, and now I’ve decided to pick it up again since the second book in the series is coming out soon. This one’s got enemies to lovers, a strong FL, a charming ML, slow burn, found family, politics, no spice, and powers earned through deadly trials. ✨ I do wish we’d gotten deeper into the FL’s mind and her connections with others it felt a little surface-level at times. It’s plot heavy, but the worldbuilding isn’t overly complex and it's predictable here and there (which honestly isn’t always a bad thing). Character wise, it’s definitely a bit lacking, so don’t be surprised if you struggle to really connect with them. ✨ That said, the pacing? Fantastic. That alone got me hyped for more from Lauren Loscig. Overall, it’s a strong debut, and I’m definitely looking forward to book two.

    Observations on the Human Condition

    A collection of 12 illustrated short stories, and yes, I wish there were more of them. It's philosophical, thoughtful, and reflective in a quiet, non-preachy way. The kind of book that gets in your head and makes you think, not just about the characters, but about yourself. A couple of the stories lingered, a few didn't quite, but I think that's half the idea. You're supposed to sit with them, try to know these individuals, feel their pain, their dilemma. Even if you don't recognize, they're just asking you to bear witness. And that's where they have power. The illustrations are so, so beautiful. Paige Parker has a unique artstyle that underlines these stories perfectly. Some of the moments land harder simply due to the manner in which one character, one pose, is rendered. It's evocative through their simplicity. "In a new place, I can be new and entirely different from who I once was because no one there has formed an opinion of me." — The Sailor, p. 71 The Sailor put something into words I’ve felt for a long time but never really knew how to explain. That irrational need to keep starting over in new places, hoping that maybe the next version of me will finally feel right. But never really does. Overall: Expect to read, and to be read (not a threat).
