The plot revolves around Alex, former drug addict with the rare ability to see ghosts. Or at least a little something like Crooked Kingdom and Six of Crows by Bardugo to keep me happy. To that end I picked up Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo which I had hoped would be enough like The All souls-trilogy to keep me entertained. Not only is it a great time to conquer Russian classics (especially if there is snow outside) but I really long for fantasy or things that have what I refer to as a “matiné-vibe” classic adventure stories, good bad TV and the like. Reading around the holidays for me has a slightly different feel. I’ve done that too much already these last few months. There is that one book that I have started, but that I’m sooo not in the mood for and so I won’t push myself. In any case, I entered 2020 with very little literary baggage. I guess my endless talk about reading the books I had at home was heard loud and clear (there was also a slight difference in how presents were given so that might also have something to do with it). I got a cookbook, but that doesn’t count (maybe it would have counted had it had a literary theme but it didn’t). A grand reckoning on the continent forces her to return to the way of the blade in her quest for vengeance and redemption.Unlike for pretty much every Christmas I can remember, I did not get any books as gifts this time.

Set in an elven world 1,200 years before the world of The Witcher, the six-part Blood Origin limited series “will tell a story lost to time - the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal ‘conjunction of the spheres,’ when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one,” says the official synopsis. Netflix announced on Monday that The Last Ship‘s Jodie Turner-Smith has boarded the prequel series in the role of Éile. The Witcher: Blood Origin has cast its first role.
