I'm not at all familiar with the second book, but I didn't know Emma was about Irish history.

Just finished reading "Seven Devils". Sci-fi action aventure. Five diverse badass female leads, each with their own strengths and skills. Well rounded, fully realised characters, a fast paced well crafted plot. Content warning for childhood emotional and physical abuse in the flashback scenes.

I finally finished "Treasure Island." It was a good pirate adventure and I can see why there have been so many adaptations of it. I guess now I have to watch "Black Sails."

Finished reading "Children of Time". Set in the far future, post collapse of a galaxy spanning human empire. Just before the fall, humans managed to start terraforming projects. The plan was to seed the planet with apes and an engineered retrovirus that would jumpstart and speed up evolution along a prescribed path. The civil war starts just before the final stage of the project and the pod containing the simians is destroyed but the retrovirus makes it to the planet and takes hold with the lifeforms already present on the surface. Thousands of years later an arkship with the last remnants of humanity show up looking for a new home since Earth has been rendered unlivable by the civil war. Conflict ensues. The book follows both the human side and the evolution (both physical and cultural) of the native life on the planet.
Now I am reading "Scavenge the Stars". A sort of gender-swapped Count of Monte Cristo.

I started reading the Wings of Fire series...eight years ago, by this point, I think. For those who haven't heard of it, it's a middle-reader series about communities of dragons. Despite the fairly clichéd plot, it got better and better as more and more books came out, and I kept following the series until I was well older than its intended age range, but by this point I'm way too attached to the 20+ major characters and the universe the books are set in to stop. The fourteenth book came out yesterday, so I bought it and binged it in under two hours. It did not disappoint.
Well, time to wait another year and a half for the next one...
