Final Opportunity . Content Warning.
Final Opportunity The mahogany canoe battled against an ebbing tide, barely making progress in the last thirty minutes. Junnu watched from atop a dune on the little island as a pelican dove headfirst into the water with a splash not far from the gunwale. The briny smell of ocean air washed over him pleasantly. Ten oars, five on either side, pulled powerfully by select hands from his father’s navy. Still, they struggled. A rogue wave crashing hard against the side nearly tipped it over. The small craft righted itself with a quick flash of amber light, a puff of smoke, and this. Junnu knew Alif, this father’s Vizier, must be onboard.

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
This is the first book I’ve had to drop in years. For starters: I don’t think Fourth Wing is utter trash. I understand the attraction to the tropes it has, and I understand the market. It’s not like it’s downright irredeemably bad, but it’s just so, so not for me, and I’ve had to accept that.

Informed. Content Warning.
Informed Jax could feel all six of his legs buckling under the weight of the hundreds of pairs of horrified eyes staring at him in shocked silence. The weekly meeting was usually a boring affair where personal grievances were aired and gossip was exchanged, but every now and then someone had some exciting news about food. Today Jax was that someone, and the rest of the colony listened joyful anticipation until he mentioned the location of the new food source he’d discovered. He knew that part wouldn’t go over well, but he didn’t expect this. He probably should have.

Time is what you take . Content Warning.
Time is what you take As I went outside, my day continued to be greeted by the stench of burned wood and smoke. There was no relief, and we all had to endure the devastation. This warm day, however, brought an end to the season of wet snow and windy times with a promise of hopeful new beginnings. Spring was a welcome moment in the village as each one had suffered the ruins of the winter months. I stepped back, put on my well-worn layers of cotton clothing and pulled a weighted shawl over my shoulders. Looking out the bright transparent window, I could only envision pots of geraniums and the gardens of my favorite daisies blooming all along the pathway of this mill building. I didn't pay attention to the obvious rubble in the distance of the homes that had been destroyed by fire in the dead of winter. The topic of the day was who was responsible for the chaos and why. In addition to the weather cursing our means of subsistence, the thieves were seeking to seize what was not theirs. It was an unforeseen moment in time when the heavy hand of fate came by fire. At the midnight hour, the barn was fully engulfed in flames. We were not prepared. I heard the heavy sound of footsteps and a door slam. It was my father, and he shouted, “Liz, help your mother!” My words were screams as I saw him leave the house and attempt to pull a cart away from the inferno, but his sleeve caught fire. He smashed his arm on the ground attempting to put it out. It was horrifying when I saw him, but I turned and helped my mother escape the burning horror. As the smoke billowed around us, each one screaming for help, a thug reached his arm across my waist, pulling me over and I lost my balance. His face was obscured by the darkness as the fire burned in the distance. I did not hesitate, reached down, grabbed a brick and smacked him in the chin on his way to pinning me down. I sprang up and whacked him again. He fell and groaned, but did not see that I had grabbed my Brown Bess and was now pointing it at him. Screaming and shouting with abandon, I told him to “Leave! NOW!” He held his hands up knowing that I was in charge. I fired a shot at his feet, and he turned and ran.
