"White snow fell from the sky; black smoke rose from the earth.

The city was called Kovachi. The Smiths."

Four strangers collide there. A runaway scholar fleeing the organisation that decides what the whole world gets taught. A masked warrior who hides her name behind a lie. A huntress raised by wolves who remembers a forest that no longer exists and nothing before it. And a dragonborn fugitive whose jokes arrive faster than his fireballs.

They step into the same fight over a child a cult is trying to take, and walk out bound to each other:

THE SEVEN — standalone epic fantasy, 85,000 words, four illustrations by Boris Stoyanov. Found family, hungry cults, and one very flammable city.

We're currently reading Jade City by Fonda Lee for August's book of the month, and this discussion will be on the book's second half.

This discussion includes the entire book, so if you haven't finished it yet, please avoid this topic. The comments and questions below will contain spoilers.

I'll post some questions to go along with the reading but feel free to comment about anything else or start your own comment thread on anything you found interesting or any questions that you had.

• What did you think of Lan's death? Were you surprised by it or did you see it coming with the escalations by the Mountain?
• How do you feel that Hilo and Shae have worked together as both pillar and weather man? Have their different styles helped or hindered No Peak?
• What do you think about Ayt Mada now that we've seen several one-on-one (and group) meetings between her and members of No Peak?
• How did you feel about the ending and No Peak's strategy to turn the tide of the war? Do you think it was wise, lucky, or a mix of both? Where do you think Anden ends up after everything that happened?
• How would you rate this book? Would you recommend it to others? Do you plan on continuing the series?

Hey I have been a huge fan of ACOTAR and crescent city series and I’m interested in reading a vampire series for my first time, any good recommendations?
Interested in having some romance sprinkled in and okay with spicy

I loved this book series as a kid, i used to bring them around and read it when I was left alone, I remember that I once escaped from a lesson in a parish youth club (I hated it) and I ran on the second floor (where you couldn't go, it was a big no, so lol) and hid in a empty class, oh I felt so intrigued by these books qajcjbeb so anything similar to them? I got suggested Harry Potter but nope, I have my mom's books if I want to read HP but I don't think it's going to give me the same vibes or emotions of fairy oak, so a fantasy ya?

I’d love to find some books suggestions that feature makeup used in a magical way, or gowns used to disguise, become invisible, charm, etc. thank you! If there’s romance I don’t mind!
