‘The Poppy War’ Character Breakdown
Maude’s Book Club is reading their first novel by R.F. Kuang. The Poppy War is a trilogy many have raved about because of the rich historical analysis and the fantasy elements perfectly blending. This has been an exciting BOOK CLUB PICK because of the fast-paced nature of the book and the in-depth political analysis of the class structure within the Kingdom. There is plenty of action, and Kuang’s writing flows through the years passing in the book.
‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ Courts Breakdown
We know that Fantasy readers LOVE maps. Any map found when opening a book for the first time fills our hearts with joy. It draws the reader directly into the world and gives much-needed structure in visualizing where these characters reside. The map in A Court of Thorns and Roses shows where all the Faes live and the breakdown of the Courts.
‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ Character Breakdown
Maude’s Book Club will FINALLY dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. There will be a total of six books in the series. There is a long list of characters in each court. But Maas breaks down all the courts so well. The world-building is possibly the best aspect of the series because of what Maas created.
The main characters of Tamlin, Rhysand and Feyre keep readers invested in the story and have become household names for Fantasy readers. MBC is thrilled to have these characters in January! And for those reading it for the first time, we’re hoping that our community members would want to continue the series!
New Characters in ‘Iron Flame’ by Rebecca Yarros
It has been one week since Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros was released, and some book lovers are already finished reading!
Some new characters are introduced within Part One of the book, which surprised many readers. The addition of these characters has made this sequel more engaging in light of the absence of Xaden Riorson. There are some strange things going on at Basgiath and the more we read, the more these additional characters show their true colours.
‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ Character Breakdown
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins is about Coriolanus Snow and him being assigned a female tribute for the 10th annual Hunger Games. It is a completely different perspective than we are used to because it’s more focused on Snow and the impression of Lucy Gray Baird from District 12.
Whether you’re new to the franchise or gearing up to watch the film adaptation, we’re here to give you a full character breakdown to refresh your memory. If you love The Hunger Games, join our discord to discuss with other book lovers!
‘Fourth Wing’ Character Break Down
The MBC community has been having such a great time reading Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros for book club this month. Yarros has said that this first instalment to her Empyrean series is a starter book for those who want to dive into Romantasy. That being said, the characters are very likable, and all have great dynamics with one another.
