settling down for the night drinking some tea and starting a new book

i had to take a break from the FBAA series for a bit i just felt myself slipping into a slump and needed something new and fresh so i picked up Divine Rivals since it’s been on my TBR and i’ve seen enough people recommend this so i’m giving it a go!! i’m only on the first 50 pages but i am IN LOVE i love this world building so far and like i said i enjoy a good historical fantasy (∩˃o˂∩)♡

“All the gardens were planted by farmers who have experience with crops. Those who agreed to settle in Spessa’s End were required to apprentice with farmers to learn how to keep them healthy and spot disease. With the temperatures rarely dropping below freezing at night, we’re able to grow some of the crops longer than places farther north.” - Casteel Da’Neer A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire (FBAA #2) chapter 27

i just think this is super cool i wish growing our own veggies/herbs was more common here in the US. i have a little herb garden but i hope to expand that to growing some veggies down the line when i have more space and time. i used to help my grandpa with his gardens as a kid so it’d be really fun to carry that on!!

currently reading A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire and honestly i love this one way more than the first book in the FBAA series but i’m only a couple hundred pages in so we’ll see how that goes.. i gave the first book a 3.5/5 because i had a lot of issues with the writing but there’s a bit of an improvement in the second one
