7/5/2023 0 Comments The dark hills divide seriesWhen a mysterious conversation and an unfortunate accident put Alexa within reach of a way outside the wall, she must decide-heed the warnings of her elders, or satisfy her curiosity and unravel the mysteries of Elyon. But, the walls are heavily guarded, and frightening legends suggest that forests and hills are no place for a child-especially a young girl. Having lived within the walls all of her 12 years, she wants nothing more than to explore the uncharted wilderness beyond. On her annual summer trips to Bridewell with her father, the mayor of Lathbury, Alexa Daley spends much of her time dreaming of escape. Elyon is a land of dark hills, enchanted forests, and great walls that connect and encircle the cities of Lathbury, Turlock, Lunenburg, and Bridewell like spokes in a wagon wheel.

A lot of it has to do of course with where I am now in my life. It is difficult for me to put into words exactly what I love about this series. Add the fact that I have read a total of 416 books (so far) in 2014 – and I am hoping to add a few more before the year ends. This series has got to be, by far, the best fantasy series I read this year. Pansing Books sent me this trilogy specifically for our Fantasy theme and I can not thank them enough for introducing me to a series that I truly enjoyed reading. While on occasion, we would feature a few books in keeping with this, there would be a few posts where we will just write about our thoughts on read-alouds, libraries, reading journals, upcoming literary conferences, books that we are excited about, and just booklove miscellany in general.

Now we have a drought again until season 6 airs, or could we possibly get the new book published just before then?

That’s probably the best part of the deal for me ❤️□ and yet he somehow let himself be absolutely melting by her, even after knowing that means trouble and he has to keep focus on the case!! He’s a divorced older man, he knows better, and he isn’t usually like this. Myles is her total opposite: rude, smart, crude.

The Star hangs from the wall of the cavern far from human eyes. I swore two vows that day: to protect, always. “Meherya, no.” I have wondered in the years since then if she already feared what I would become. “I would destroy any who dared hurt you,” I said. It lit our children umber as they trailed scorch marks and laughter across the stone floor. That day, the breezes off the river ruffled her midnight hair and sunlight poured like liquid gold through the sheer curtains of the windows. I spoke with the passion and folly of youth, though I was not, of course, young. “I fear what you will do if harm comes to those whom you love.” “I fear for you, Meherya.” Her voice trembled. Her gaze settled on our children as they tore about the palace, their bodies flickering from flame to flesh, tiny cyclones of impossible beauty. But in later years, with a furrowed brow.
