Hello, bookish friends!⁣ ⁣ There’s something about duologies that always get me going. It might be because they’re quicker to read and they’re easier to buy, as well.⁣ ⁣ However, because the series is so short, it doesn’t have as much hype as other books belonging to a longer series. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is what I perceived from other bookworms that I do talk to regularly. They don’t have as large a fandom, unless the authors are already huge ones.⁣ ⁣ Today’s post is dedicated to one of my favorite duologies, and I’m quite surprised that I haven’t seen as much content inspired by it here in IG or any other platforms. The Crown’s Game is something I stumbled upon by accident, and it was only because the staff at our local bookstores know my tastes that they recommended these to me.⁣ ⁣ Yes, I bought the books at the same time. I binged read them for a weekend, and I was hooked with this version of Russia and tried to imagine the enchantments made by Vika and Nikolai.⁣ ⁣ I honestly think that the duology can be expanded but the character development, the imagery, and the world building was really strong that I think the ending was a great way of bringing everything home 😊⁣ ⁣ 𝐐𝐎𝐓𝐃: 𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬?⁣ ⁣ #TheBookwormPrincess👸🏻⁣ #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookaholic #duology #TheCrownsGame #TheCrownsFate #vikaandreyeva #NikolaiKarimov #Pasha #evelynskye #mybookfeatures #books #bookish #bookishlove https://www.instagram.com/p/CCK7lUVA9yU/?igshid=1xqe4far2vot4

Legalese/Politis/Ref-formia

The political terms Right and Left were first used during the French Revolution(1789–99), and referred to seating arrangements in the French parliament; those who sat to the right of the chair of the parliamentary president were broadly supportive of the institutions of the monarchist Ancien Régime. The original Right in France was formed as a reactionagainst the Left, and comprised those politicians supporting hierarchy, tradition, and clericalism. The use of the expression la droite (the right) became prominent in France after the restoration of the monarchy in 1815, when it was applied to the Ultra-royalists. The people of English-speaking countries did not apply the terms "right" and "left" to their own politics until the 20th century. Although the right-wing originated with traditional conservatives, monarchistsand reactionaries, the term extreme right-wing has also been applied to movements including fascists, Nazis, and racial supremacists. From the 1830s to the 1880s, there was a shift in the Western world of social classstructure and the economy, moving away from nobility and aristocracy towards capitalism. This general economic shift toward capitalism affected centre right movements such as the British Conservative Party, which responded by becoming supportive of capitalism. In the United States, the Right includes both economic and social conservatives. In Europe, economic conservatives are usually considered liberal, and the Right includes nationalists, nativist opposition to immigration, religious conservatives, and historically a significant presence of right-wing movements with anti-capitalist sentiments including conservatives and fascists who opposed what they saw as the selfishness and excessive materialism inherent in contemporary capitalism. In reference to "Old Regime"- "It conjured up a society so encrusted with anachronisms that only a shock of great violence could free the living organism within. Institutionally torpid, economically immobile, culturally atrophied and socially stratified, this 'old regime' was incapable of self-modernization."

The Crowns Game by @evelyn_skye is a series that I absolutely love but don't talk about nearly enough. It is a duology that is so full of magic and enchantment! I adored the writing, world building and character development so much! I highly recommend these books if you haven't read them and love magical fantasy! I will leave the synopsis for the first book below for you all to check out! ✨📖✨. . Have you read this series? 📚. ............................................................ ✨Synopsis✨. Vika Andreyeva can summon the snow and turn ash into gold. Nikolai Karimov can see through walls and conjure bridges out of thin air. They are enchanters—the only two in Russia—and with the Ottoman Empire and the Kazakhs threatening, the tsar needs a powerful enchanter by his side. . And so he initiates the Crown’s Game, an ancient duel of magical skill—the greatest test an enchanter will ever know. The victor becomes the Imperial Enchanter and the tsar’s most respected adviser. The defeated is sentenced to death. . Raised on tiny Ovchinin Island her whole life, Vika is eager for the chance to show off her talent in the grand capital of Saint Petersburg. But can she kill another enchanter—even when his magic calls to her like nothing else ever has? . For Nikolai, an orphan, the Crown’s Game is the chance of a lifetime. But his deadly opponent is a force to be reckoned with—beautiful, whip smart, imaginative—and he can’t stop thinking about her. . And when Pasha, Nikolai’s best friend and heir to the throne, also starts to fall for the mysterious enchantress, Nikolai must defeat the girl they both love, or be killed himself. . As long-buried secrets emerge, threatening the future of the empire, it becomes dangerously clear . . . the Crown’s Game is not one to lose. #thecrownsgame #thecrownsfate #evelynskye #favoriteseries #balzerandbray . . . . #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #bookstagramfeatures #bibliophile #instareads #igdaily #totalbooknerd #instabook #bookblogger #bookphotography #bookaddict #bookblog #bookish #becauseofreading #ilovebooks #booklove #iphonephotography #iphone7plusphotography #reading #bookstagramdaily

The lovely folks at Macmillan International sent me this GORGEOUS ARC of #JustFriends by Tiffany Pitcock that I'm so excited to read! . I'm still currently reading #TheCrownsFate by Evelyn Skye and I love the darker nature of the book (and this one particular character) and I can't wait for the ending! .

First time using this new feature, and I gotta say I really like. Mainly bc I couldn't fit all these books in one picture, so helpful. • February book haul time! All the books I brought and received. And the final picture is of all the beauties I plan to devour in the Easter holidays. • I hope to fit in one more book in this month, then I would have read 8 books in 8 days. Yup, a book a day. It's only bc of this reading week off from uni I've managed to read anything. • Hope you all have a lovely day. See any books you hope to read this year? I'm really excited to read Flame in the Mist, which I'll be buddy reading with my parabatai Naz, @enchantedbookcase 💕 • • • #BookHoarder #BookHaul #BookLover #BookSpineBeauty #Books #Bookish #Biblophile #FlameintheMist #TheCrownsFate #AConjuringofLight #Windfall #BookstagramIt #BookstagramFeature #LannisterBooks #MyBookishFeatures #BookWorm #Bookaholic #BookBlogger #ALLTHEBOOKS 📚❤️
