![]() ![]() I loved every word of this story and truly can't wait until The Rebel King. The Kingmaker made me swoon and melt but also made me hold my breath when all seemed lost. I loved their passion for one another and how their love and connection felt like it was a once in a lifetime kind of love that came right off the pages. With every look and touch between them, I felt every chill and shiver. I loved them separately, but together they took my breath away. Their steadfast dedication to their passions and convictions were awe-inspiring. I fell in love with Maxim Cade and Lennix Hunter at first sight and knew that they were both powerful forces to be reckoned with. Without giving away ANY spoilers, just know that like in every Kennedy Ryan book, I was spellbound from the very first page. This novel was truly magnificent and is a gamechanger to be reckoned with! ![]() Their story was so powerful and heartfelt that I felt every word straight down to my core. The Kingmaker was absolutely incredible!! Maxim and Lennix were pure fiery intensity. AHHHH!!! You guys!! Kennedy Ryan just dropped the boom mic heard 'round the world. ![]()

Philip Pullman said of Garner, calling him "indisputably the great originator, the most important British writer of fantasy since Tolkien." Treacle Walker, a dreamlike fable of a convalescent boy named Joseph, a rag-and-bone man and a bog-dwelling spirit is at once a characteristically cryptic tale of a child threatened by dark forces, a meditation on time and mortality and a vivid example of folk horror. The Booker is awarded on 17 October, which also happens to be Garner's 88th birthday, a coincidence that itself feels a little magical. This year Alan Garner became the oldest author ever to be shortlisted for The Booker Prize for his small but mighty novel Treacle Walker. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A sharp, moving, and hilarious love story, it feels like being in the company of a close friend.
