Blind Date #9 | Take the Weekend Off

The laundry will still be there on Monday. So will the emails.

Tonight, brew the tea. Wrap yourself in a blanket. Let the dog or cat steal half the couch. (If you have one.)

Then disappear into four realms filled with divine beings and mortals, dangerous magic, old rivalries, battles worth fighting, and a love story that will make your heart ache.

This is a world with darkness in it, but it never seems to forget that integrity matters. That promises matter. That forgiveness, beauty, love, and sacrifice matter.

So, if it would feel good to just root for the good guys for a change and take a break from all the morally gray tropes (hey, they have their place on our shelves too but isn't it time to mix it up a little?), this beautiful, complex, sweeping story is for you.

This one's good for the soul.
